GREECE
ATHENS
Where it all started. I was born here, raised here, lived here for 18 of my 20 years—and I love it endlessly. Athens is chaos and charm, espresso freddos and loud opinions (the kind that shaped me and still drive everything I do). It’s ancient marble, messy streets, and rooftop sunsets that still hit every time. It’s not just a place I’m from—it’s the energy I bring. Bold, warm, and unapologetically alive.
MYKONOS
The island I’ve spent every summer of my life in. Sun-soaked days, glittering nights, and people who have touched my life and are now family. It’s not a vacation—it’s tradition.
ICARIA
The island that slows everything down. In a hasty period of my life I visited this island in my first solo travel, and it changed my mindset on everything. Wild, untouched, a little magical—where time doesn’t rush and neither did I. It’s peace in postcard form.
MOUNT PARNASSUS
If I were to choose one place to call home, it would be this mountain. Every weekend of my life in Greece was spent on this mountain. Where I learned to ski, bike, and walk. The warmth of this place is one that still and will always brew inside of me. Having changed every Christmas and New Year's of my life there it will always be the place I regard as my ultimate anchor.
ANDROS
Elegant, quiet, and always underrated. It’s where I used to go when life feels too hectic and I need a break. Mentally i transport and the problems fade away, and solutions become as clear as the waters.
PAROS
I visit this island at least once a year. The small boat ride over has given me a lifetime of memories that I will always adore and cherish. These are what make me ME!
NAXOS
I’ve only visited once, but it made a lasting impression. There’s something grounded about Naxos—its wide beaches, calm presence, and quiet confidence. It doesn’t need to compete for attention, and maybe that’s what makes it stand out most. Subtle, beautiful, and unexpectedly memorable.
SCHOINOUSA
Small, remote, and effortlessly authentic. It taught me what quiet confidence really looks like—no noise, no push, just presence. Schoinousa doesn’t need to sell itself, and that’s exactly what makes it memorable.
KARYSTOS
Familiar and unfussy in the best way. The kind of place where the food is simple but unforgettable, and nothing feels performative. There’s a raw, grounded charm here that doesn’t need filters or fine print—just honesty, good bread, and a view that speaks for itself.
KEA (TZIA)
Quietly stylish, with just the right amount of edge. Kea feels curated without trying—stone paths, soft hills, long lunches that turn into golden hours.
SPETSES
I’ve spent every Easter here, and it’s where I feel most spiritually grounded. The island comes alive in a way that’s both quiet and electric—tradition meets emotion, without needing to be explained. Spetses taught me how powerful feeling can be when it’s paired with timing, atmosphere, and intention. It’s that same instinct I bring into my work: knowing when to say more, and when to simply let the moment land.
THESSALONIKI
The city where everything shifted. It’s where I sat for the SAT, got the score that got me into USF, and unknowingly opened the door to the life I’m building now. It wasn’t a long visit, but it was the most defining. What better way to end this trip through Greece than with the place that quietly started it all? A reminder that sometimes, the biggest changes begin with a single decision—and a view of the sea.
