About the author of the blog.
Welcome to Exploring Ellada, a project that I have been thinking about putting together for a while now (thanks to all my friends who have constantly told me that they need this blog in their lives).
I am a Greek American woman who grew up spending my childhood summers in Greece. As an adult, I still travel back to Greece as often as I can. As time has passed, the one thing that has always stayed the same is my adoration for this country and its culture.
Join me as we embark on a journey beyond the tourist trails, delving deep into the heart and soul of Greece. Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or dreaming of your first Greek escapade, let me be your guide to unlocking the true essence of this Mediterranean paradise.
Unveiling My Inspiration
The genesis of this blog is a culmination of years of yearning for travel insights that are genuine and “not too touristy”, fueled by my own experiences and a desire to share the beauty of Greece. Spurred on by a trove of accumulated memories and photographs, this platform is a homage to both my family’s culture and the transformative power of travel.
Each story shared here honors the vibrant mosaic of Greek life and invites fellow travelers to embark on their own journey through the soul-stirring landscapes and captivating traditions of Greece.
Dedication
To my father and beloved family, I express profound gratitude for the privilege to grow up, with you all, surrounded by the captivating culture of Greece. The experiences have shaped my soul, igniting a passion to share the wonders of Greece with the world.
With boundless love, I vow to honor the legacy of all Hellenes.
