A reassuring supporter for independent travel.

Thank you very much for all your help this time.
I contacted you a month and a half before my departure,
I truly appreciated how you arranged everything so that it was ready in time.
Regarding the response,
Considering the time difference and various other circumstances, I recommend reaching out with plenty of time to spare.

I had a lot of fun walking around!

It was very rich and fulfilling. Mr. Hamanaka's personality was good, and I was able to enjoy it from the bottom of my heart with peace of mind. Thank you very much.

    In 2009, during a trip with a friend through Turkey, Syria and Jordan, I realized that travel was important to me. I will never forget that when I was lost near the oasis of Palmyra, I met very genuine and caring people. This event had a profound impact on my life and prompted 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 about our country with travelers and help them create unique and unforgettable memories. For the past 12 years, I have been using my free time to travel all over Greece. We want to find the best hidden gems in Greece and give travelers the same excitement they felt at that time. I see every traveller as a unique person seeking a once-in-a-lifetime trip and I always do my best to design a bespoke and authentic itinerary tailored to their passions and interests.

    My passion sprung up at a young age, and that passion led me on a journey of exploration across continents. Volunteer travel opened doors to diverse cultures and inspired me to travel around Europe and develop connections with people from all over the world. After a career in various hotels in Greece and Cyprus, I came across what I really wanted to do: design travel. It is my mission to provide an unforgettable experience for those who visit Greece. We understand the unique needs of each traveler and use our attention to detail and intimate knowledge of Greece's hidden treasures to provide a journey full of discovery and joy. Having traveled extensively throughout Greece and spent two years in Mykonos, I have honed my expertise in this fascinating destination. Nonetheless, what sticks in your mind every time you visit is Crete's warm hospitality, delicious food, and stunning scenery.

What kind of country is Greece?

When you think of Greece, many people think of a spectacular view of pure white buildings against a clear blue sky.

Not only that, but it is also said that the ancient Greek civilization that flourished in BC became the cradle of Western civilization. The Parthenon and many other historically valuable and famous sites are easily accessible from the capital city of Athens. If you're looking for a resort experience, Santorini and other islands in the Aegean and Ionian Seas offer beaches and lively resorts.
We also have gourmet foods such as olives and delicious wine!

In the mild climate of the Mediterranean, you will be able to spend a relaxing time away from Japan by exploring history, resorts, gourmet food, and packing your likes and things to do!

Cash, cards and currency exchange
・ Currency exchange can be easily done both in Japan and locally. You can exchange money locally at banks, exchange offices, some post offices, travel agencies, hotels, etc., but many places charge a fee. Some exchange offices have good rates and no fees, so it's a good idea to check beforehand.
・ There are other ATMs that can be used 24 hours a day, and you can withdraw euro bills with a credit card or international cash card, so it is recommended to use it. If you are worried about currency exchange, it is safe to exchange money in Japan in advance.
・Credit cards are accepted in most places in Greece, but there are cases where credit cards are not accepted at small hotels, private cafeterias frequented by locals, souvenir shops, etc. Therefore, it is recommended to use both cash and credit cards locally.
Tips
・ Tipping is not customary, but when you receive pleasant service, you may give a tip as a thank you.
・ Restaurant: Even if the service fee is included in the bill, it is common to put about 5~10% of the bill.
・Taxi: 5~10% of the fare
・Hotel porter and room service: about 1 euro
Public order
・Greece was said to be a relatively safe country in Europe, but due to the deterioration of the economic situation and the increase in the unemployment rate, there is a tendency for demonstrations and strikes to occur frequently.
・ Especially in urban subways and tourist spots, pickpocketing is a frequent occurrence, and it is relatively common to be a Japan traveler, a person with a large amount of cash, and a lack of vigilance, so it is easy to become a target of crime.
・In order not to become a target of crime, please avoid acts that are easy targets, such as sightseeing with the minimum necessary luggage, keeping valuables close to your skin, not leaving your bag behind, and not looking away while walking.
clothing
・Clothing changes greatly depending on the season.
・In summer, the maximum temperature exceeds 30°C, so Japan summer clothes such as short-sleeved shorts and sleeveless dresses are fine. The sunlight will also be very strong, so it is useful to have sunglasses and a hat. In addition, it can feel chilly in the shade and in the mornings and evenings, so be sure to bring a light cardigan.
・Winter is not as cold as in Japan, but the temperature is lower than in summer. Cold protection is essential, and it's a good idea to adjust with layers such as sweaters and prepare thick outerwear.
・In spring and autumn, long-sleeved shirts and long pants are appropriate. It gets cold in the mornings and evenings, so it's a good idea to bring a jacket.
Things you should bring
・Gastrointestinal medicines, cold medicines, mobile batteries, cameras, insect repellent goods, sun protection goods, etc.
Visa availability and arrangements
・Nationals of Japan do not need to obtain a visa for tourism, business, diplomacy, or official purposes, as long as they stay for 90 days or less within the 180-day period.
However, the passport must have been issued within the past 10 years and must be valid for at least 3 months from the time of departure from the Schengen area.
Required vaccinations
・There is no obligation to travel. However, vaccinations against hepatitis A, hepatitis B, tetanus, diphtheria, etc. are recommended.
