En route to the travel ecosystem: allons-y!

 Pre-trip, during-trip and post-trip experiences are constantly shaped and reshaped depending on place, time and space, when we meet, when we travel and when we return back home. Throughout the entire journey experience, travel encounters are fully enriched with a variety of physical and virtual stimuli, some of which are discussed, lived and shared these…

Afentiko Pigadi: rustique embrace next to the fairy-tale well

No matter where you have been, today you get to start again… digging back in history, the legendary Greek epic poem Iliad by Homer refers to this place,  also meticulously described by Pausanias the geographer.

 “Music is a moral law. It gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, and life to everything”.* Music and travel that world voyagers can really make them count. Our morning coffee in the South of Athens signalled the very beginning of this article, giving…

Syros: grand summer della Grazia with bergamot and rose petals

Co-created travel dreams endure longer; eternal conversations among the prominent architect Ernst Ziller, the Capuchins and the Jesuits are still heard in the stylish setting of Syros island for your starring role.

China (中国): the new Silk Road unfolds

From the ancient networκ of trade routes to the modern paths of travel experiences…

Spetses: international chanting in the zen garden of Argosaronikos

There are just some destinations that simply remind you that the essence of happiness lies in the “aller-retour”, more specifically – in the silence situated in the back of the moon and in the scarlet sun. On the “Island of Scents” (Isola delle Spezie), reality is a tribute to time. It is the new memories…

New “People” & the floor is yours

It’s certainly a big world out there and I enjoy imagining people with somewhere to go! Simple images of people with luggage waiting at a nearby station mesmerise me. Whenever I lift my head and see an airplane flying above, I feel that my dreams begin to fly. Just 2 years after landing on “your…

Hospitality is everwhere: let’s reacquaint ourselves

Check-in, check-out, take-off and landing, here and there, over and above… it is a big world out there. To live and experience destinations, you will never forget. Not because of their image, because of their identity. Addicted to image-related characteristics, we missed the identity link – time to reacquaint ourselves. Who we are, where we…

Travel around the world. Most of the times, meet and greet comes with a big smile. But when smile dominates serious talks with an experienced practitioner about travel and tourism, a logical assumption can be made. The career path implies a combination of talent and passion. This was also the case, directly confirmed when we…

Kefalonia: underground ravines & overarching nature greens

Aigis Sunset Bar Resto: island art-full taste

Sunset adagio; visual and sonic landscapes perfectly match. Exposed to the horizon, from a bird’s eye view, you set your focus to infinity. And all you have to do is fly… discretely surrounded by ‘birds in motion’. Alekos Fassianos’ admired works of art highly endorse the distinct profile of Aigis Suites, where “Aigis Sunset Bar…

Kea: let your dreams set sail

Just to see life fluttering in the wind making the mast send vibes of bliss; just to watch the stars amid mainsail twists and inhale the innocent breeze of your childhood summers.

High-end education event sous le charme de la côte

The esthète  feeling of welcome, the refined repositioning of the Athens Riviera and a summer edutainment night to make the story unfold.

People: Maria Mastronikola, PR Coordinator, Aldemar Resorts

Travelling is all about services, all about people. Hospitality also nests in its people. Hitherto, I have always liked the picture of people with somewhere to go and converted my personal viewpoint to the principal “raison d’être” beyond the conventional meaning of travel; the co-creation of sophisticated travel trails. It is this thought-to-travel, which currently…

Iceland: hand-drawn map with small island feel

Hospitality is everywhere… Longitudinal travel perspectives emit the  legend of artefacts, the care of personalisation, the warmth of nostalgia, the magic of human interaction, the gold rush of vintage moments, the feeling of eternity; something like the cartes-postales. It’s been almost one year. A letter was mailed to a farm in Hvammsveit, West Iceland. Long live…

 Instaclicks on your personal timeline go well beyond media, theme and any photo frame; it is all about people and their professionalism, moments and feelings, which turn the hourglass and, thus, provide time for many reflections. From previous poolside meetings and short encounters at the lobby to the continuity of communication. Because only a three-letter…
