    In 2009, while traveling through Turkey, Syria, and Jordan with a friend, I realized how essential travel was to me. I will never forget getting lost near the oasis of Palmyra and encountering people of remarkable purity and kindness. That experience profoundly affected my life and led me to reconsider my career in banking. We decided to quit our jobs and start our own travel agency because we wanted to share our knowledge of our country with travelers and help them create unique, unforgettable memories. Over the past 12 years, I have used my free time to explore Greece extensively, seeking out its hidden gems and aiming to give travelers the same sense of wonder that I once experienced. I view every traveler as a unique individual in search of a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, and I strive to design authentic, tailor-made itineraries that align with their passions and interests.

    My passion first ignited in my youth and eventually led me on a journey of exploration across continents. Volunteering in travel opened doors to a variety of cultures, inspired me to journey throughout Europe, and allowed me to forge connections with people from all over the world. Through my career at various hotels in Greece and Cyprus, I discovered what I truly love—designing travel experiences. It is my mission to provide unforgettable experiences to those visiting Greece. I carefully attend to every detail and use my in-depth knowledge of Greece’s hidden treasures to create journeys filled with discovery and joy, tailored to each traveler's unique needs. My extensive travels across Greece, including spending two years in Mykonos, have honed my expertise in this captivating destination. Yet, no matter how many times I visit, the warm hospitality of Crete, its delectable cuisine, and breathtaking landscapes always leave a lasting impression.

Cash, Cards, and Currency Exchange
Currency exchange can be easily done both in Japan and locally. Locally, you can exchange money at banks, exchange offices, some post offices, travel agencies, and hotels, but many places charge a fee. Some places offer good rates and no fees, so it's a good idea to check in advance.
Additionally, there are ATMs available 24 hours a day, and you can withdraw Euro bills using credit cards or international cash cards, so it's recommended to use them. If you're worried about currency exchange, it's reassuring to exchange money in Japan beforehand.
In Greece, credit cards can be used in most places, but there may be instances where they are not accepted at small hotels, local diners, or souvenir shops. Therefore, it is recommended to use a combination of cash and credit cards locally.
Tips
Tipping is not customary, but you may give a tip as a gesture of gratitude when you receive pleasant service.
Restaurants: Even if the service charge is included in the bill, it is common to leave about 5-10% of the bill.
Taxis: About 5-10% of the fare.
Hotel porters or room service: About 1 Euro.
Safety
Greece was considered a relatively safe country in Europe, but due to worsening economic conditions and rising unemployment rates, there is a tendency for frequent demonstrations and strikes.
Especially in urban subways and tourist areas, pickpocketing incidents are frequent, and Japanese tourists or those carrying large amounts of cash are often seen as having low vigilance, making them easy targets for crime.
To avoid becoming a target of crime, travel with only essential luggage, keep valuables close to you, do not leave your bag unattended, and avoid distractions while walking.
Clothing
Clothing varies greatly depending on the season.
In summer, temperatures can exceed 30°C, so Japanese summer clothes like short-sleeved shirts and shorts or sleeveless dresses are suitable. The sunlight is also very strong, so sunglasses and hats are useful. Additionally, it can feel chilly in the shade or during mornings and evenings, so bring a light cardigan.
In winter, it doesn't get as extremely cold as in Japan, but temperatures do drop compared to summer. Cold weather protection is essential, so adjust with layered clothing like sweaters, and prepare a thick outerwear.
In spring and autumn, long-sleeved shirts and long pants are appropriate. It gets chilly in the mornings and evenings, so having a jacket is reassuring.
Things to Bring
Stomach medicine, cold medicine, mobile battery, camera, insect repellent items, sun protection items, etc.
Visa Requirements and Arrangements
Japanese nationals do not need to obtain a visa for stays of up to 90 days within any 180-day period for tourism, business, diplomatic, or official purposes.
However, it is required that the passport was issued within the last 10 years and has more than 3 months of validity remaining from the date of departure from Schengen Agreement member countries.
Required Vaccinations
There are no mandatory requirements for travel. However, vaccinations for hepatitis A, hepatitis B, tetanus, and diphtheria are recommended.
