Cozumel, Cancun, the Riveria Maya and Playa del Carmen. Some of the most breathtaking vacation spots you’ll ever travel to. Imagine, walking down a white sand beach, fresh made margarita in your hand, bright and sunny skies as far as your eyes can take you and the sound of ocean waves rolling up on shore. Are you ready to pack your bags yet? Not quite? Okay, can you imagine yourself relaxing in one of the more than thirty spa resorts these places have to offer? Where professionals at the top of their field will care for your every need. Reset your body, mind and soul with pampering, relaxation and personalized beauty treatments. Now are you ready? I thought so. If all-inclusive is your style Cancun is your place. You’ll enjoy endless food, drinks entertainment and activities throughout the day and night. No need to budget when it’s all you can eat and enjoy. Cancun is a popular destination for honeymooners, spring breakers, families and destination weddings. There’s something for everyone when you visit this paradise on the Yucatán Peninsula. You’ll enjoy activities such as snorkeling in the clear blue waters, hiking along picturesque trails, jet skiing through the lagoons and taking in the spectacular views while parasailing. If you’re a history buff then the Mayan Museum has you covered with its ancient artifacts and iconic pieces of the sites of Palenque, Chichén Itzá and Comalcalco. Or, take a tour through the well preserved Mayan Ruins of Tulum. As your Mexico Travel Agent Advisor I’ll make certain that your dreams come true within your unique budget. Contact me for your next visit to the Cozumel/Cancun area.

Greece Travel Agent Specialist

<p>Maybe you’ve been dreaming about exploring ancient ruins under the Mediterranean sun. Well, look no further than Greece for your next holiday adventure. As your travel agent specialist for Greece, I know you’ll love your adventure.From the picturesque islands of Santorini and Mykonos to the historic city of Athens, Greece offers something for every traveler. Get ready to feast on fresh seafood, creamy feta, and succulent olives. And bring your walking shoes - between the Acropolis, Delphi, and Olympia, your Instagram feed is about to get an ancient architecture upgrade, not to mention the stunning sunsets and vibrant nightlife. Greece is calling your name. Are you ready to answer? Let’s explore the top 10 must-see ancient sites and ruins first.</p>
<p>The Acropolis in Athens is a must-see, with the iconic Parthenon temple sitting atop a hill overlooking the city. Built in 447 BC, the Parthenon honors the goddess Athena. When climbing up the stone walkways, you'll see magnificent Doric columns and architecture.</p>
<p>The Temple of Poseidon at Sounion, perched on a cliff with views of the sea, is stunning at sunset. Only 15 columns remain of the original temple from 444 BC, but it's majestic.</p>
<p>The Palace of Knossos on Crete, home of the Minoan civilization from 2000 BC, is Europe's oldest city. Though mostly ruins, you can still see remnants of royal chambers, baths, and the legendary labyrinth.</p>
<p>With over 6,000 islands to choose from, you'll be spoiled for choice. Santorini is a must-visit with its iconic white-washed buildings, black sand beaches and vibrant sunsets. Mykonos is a glamorous party island, perfect for dancing the night away. Crete boasts palm-fringed beaches, ancient ruins and rugged mountains. Rhodes, Corfu and Zakynthos also top the list of popular islands. Island hopping by ferry is a great way to see many of these isles in one day  trip.Some of the Magnificent BeachesGreece's beaches come in many flavors - from family-friendly sites to secluded locations. Some of the best include:?      Navagio (Shipwreck) Beach in Zakynthos with crystal-clear waters and a rustic shipwreck.?      Balos Lagoon in Crete, which is only accessible by boat, is filled with tropical vibes.?      Porto Katsiki, in Lefkada, features dramatic cliffs and turquoise waters.?      Voidokilia Beach in Messinia is a perfect crescent-shaped beach with dunes.A beach holiday in Greece is a dream come true. With your swimsuit and sense of adventure, you'll make memories to last a lifetime exploring these Mediterranean masterpieces.

Hiking in spring or fall is best if you want to avoid the biggest crowds.BeachgoingWith over 1,000 islands, Greece's coastline seems endless. Some of the most famous beaches are on the islands of Crete, Corfu, Kos, Rhodes and Zakynthos. Look for quieter shores on the islands of Lesvos, Chios or Samos.

Most beaches have sunbeds and umbrellas to rent, and you can visit tavernas right on the beach for lunch.Water SportsIf you want to get out on the water, Greece offers opportunities for sailing, sea kayaking, kitesurfing and more. The Ionian Islands and Sporades are ideal for sailing, with steady winds and secluded bays. The beaches around Kalamata are popular for kitesurfing and windsurfing.

Daena is friendly, knowledgeable and great to work with. It is our second time working with her to plan our Disney vacation. She is very knowledgeable and presents options in a no pressure manner to meet your preferences and budget. She made some great suggestions for new things to try (restaurant venues and tours). Loved them all!!
Mandy - Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
Daena did a wonderful job of planning and making all of the arrangements for our cruise vacation to Alaska. She handled the flights, accommodations before and after our cruise, all cruise arrangements, all cruise excursions, dinner reservations, absolutely everything. She made sure everything we needed was handled and we could just enjoy our vacation. I have used Daena in the past and will definitely use her in the future. I highly recommend having her plan your next trip!
Mary K - Alaska ~ USA
