Based in Athens, Greece, The Greek Vibe.com is a ‘virtual guesthouse’ where as a good Greek host I treat you to the best of Greece, its secrets, its beautiful beaches and picture-perfect destinations, its age-old traditions, its delectable foods and intoxicating spirits, and of course, initiate you into the “Greek way” of doing things like sipping your coffee slowly as you chat with friends or sampling delicious Greek ‘mezedes’ with some anise-flavored ouzo by the beach.

More about The Greek Vibe
How it all began…
It all started more than a decade ago, when I felt the urge to write about one of my passions: Greek music – a music that dates back to ancient times and is perhaps one of the most diverse in the world.
From there, it was only a matter of time before I decided to share the precious knowledge I had gained in over three decades as a travel and tourism writer… an not only.
Today, The Greek Vibe has evolved into a treasure trove of well-researched and first-hand information about Greece.
We all know Greece for its colorful islands, vibrant nightlife, and pristine beaches, but The Greek Vibe hopes to take you a step further, to immerse you into the secrets of the Greek way of living, the customs that come to life during the holidays, the importance of foods and of the famed Greek Diet, the uniqueness of dozens of fine Greek products, the music that dates back to antiquity, its UNESCO-listed World Heritage Sites and practices, and of course, the one thing that makes Greece a favorite holiday destination: its people and hospitality.
And it doesn’t stop there: The Greek Vibe is always looking forward featuring the promising work, projects, and actions of younger generations who will carry the Greek legacy into the future.
So enough said, join me and let’s discover Greece together. A Greece that was passed on to me by my parents, and in particular my mother, who raised us to love and cherish the traditions, the recipes and foods, the habits and customs, the stories, the natural beauty, the myths and magic of our homeland.
