Travel Specialist: Europe Asia Caribbean & Beyond!

Growing up in Turkey and Greece, my love for exploring the world started early—thanks to my parents, who were avid travelers. Some of my favorite childhood memories are of sailing across the Atlantic on classic Italian cruise ships like the SS Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, spending month-long summers sailing the Aegean Sea, and swimming in the crystal-clear waters of Çesme on Turkey’s stunning Turquoise Coast.

When you travel with me as your advisor, you're not just getting an itinerary—you’re getting a deeply personal and curated experience shaped by my years of firsthand exploration. I’ve lived in Spain, Turkey, and Greece and have wandered through the breathtaking landscapes of Portugal, Italy, France, Ireland, England, Holland, Germany, Austria, the Caribbean, and Mexico.My specialties? Luxury travel, bespoke itineraries, European culture, culinary and wine experiences, all-inclusive family vacations, adults-only getaways, amusement parks, luxury cruises, and milestone celebrations like anniversaries and retirements!

A Taste of My Travels:

Italy – I once went truffle hunting in Tuscany, followed by a mouthwatering gourmet meal featuring fresh truffles and regional wine.

Spain – I took flamenco lessons in Valencia with a professional dancer, learning the art’s deep history before enjoying an intimate performance at a historic tablao. 

Turkey – I’ve explored both the grandeur of Istanbul and the dreamlike landscapes of Cappadocia, where hot air balloons fill the sky.

Greece – I lost myself in the country where I was born, on a sunset cruise around Santorini, stopping at hidden coves, hot springs, and the volcanic caldera before watching the famous sunset from the sea with a glass of crisp Greek wine.

Portugal – At a historic Quinta in the Douro Valley, I learned the art of Port wine production and even blended my own custom bottle!

Why Travel With Me? I don’t just book trips — I craft experiences that stay with you forever. Whether it’s a traditional Balinese water purification ceremony, a private food tour through Tokyo, a scenic drive along the Amalfi Coast, or a cultural deep dive into the heart of Lisbon, I tailor every detail to fit your travel dreams.

With years of experience and a network of trusted partners through 58 Stars Travel, I ensure every trip is seamless, stress-free, and unforgettable. So, whether you're dreaming of a romantic escape in the Maldives, a thrilling safari in Africa, an all-inclusive Caribbean retreat, or a luxury cruise through the Greek Isles — I’m here to make it happen.

Drop me a note, and let’s start planning your next unforgettable journey!

Breathtaking Santorini!

Breathtaking Santorini!

<p>The moment I touched down at Santorini National Airport, a thrill of excitement rushed through me. Dazzling whitewashed buildings, the endless blue of the Aegean, and a warm Mediterranean breeze—it was pure bliss.</p>
<p>I headed straight to Astra Suites, my boutique hotel in Imerovigli, where my private balcony offered a jaw-dropping panoramic view of the caldera. On the first day, I wandered aimlessly through the charming streets of Oia and Fira. Every twist and turn revealed something new—boutiques filled with handcrafted treasures, art galleries bursting with vibrant local talent, and sun-drenched terraces perfect for soaking in the island’s energy.</p>
<p>Next, Santorini’s volcanic beaches were calling. The black sands of Perissa and Kamari created a striking contrast between the dark shore and the crystal-clear water. I chilled out at Red Beach, surrounded by towering crimson cliffs. The island’s history fascinated me, so I dove deep into its past at Akrotiri, an ancient city frozen in time by a volcanic eruption—it’s basically the Pompeii of Ancient Greece!</p>
<p>But nothing compares to sailing the caldera! I set off on a luxury catamaran, effortlessly gliding across the deep blue sea. We paused for a swim in the thermal waters near the volcano, where the warm, mineral-rich waters felt incredible. Sitting on the deck with a glass of crisp Greek wine and a delightful spread, I savored the moment as the boat drifted past dramatic cliffs and hidden coves.</p>
<p>One of the highlights of my trip was the winery tours (yes, I did three while I was in Santorini!). Many people don’t realize Greece produces fantastic wine, but that’s a delightful surprise waiting to be discovered! My favorite winery visit was in Santorini. I absolutely adore a chilled glass of Assyrtiko (a dry white wine made from Assyrtiko grapes), especially when paired with freshly caught grilled branzino and a breathtaking view of the volcanic cliffs plunging into the Aegean Sea below!</p>
<p>The sunset from Oia Castle took my breath away! Fiery shades of orange, pink, and violet, with golden light reflecting off the caldera in a mesmerizing display. It was truly breathtaking.</p>
<p>For my final adventure, I set off on Santorini’s scenic trails, where every turn reveals another stunning vista. Whether it’s a hidden chapel perched high above the sea or a panoramic overlook of the caldera, the island’s beauty never ceases to amaze me.</p>
<p>This Santorini escape is the perfect fusion of luxury, adventure, and cultural wonder—a trip so incredible that it feels like a dream come to life!</p>

Working with Christopher has been a phenomenal experience!!! He went above and beyond in everything!!!! We celebrated our dear friend’s 50th, and Christopher made it the best trip!! I would absolutely recommend Christopher’s services!!! Looking forward to our next trip!!!
Amy Julias - Grenada ~ Caribbean
Christopher’s recommendations really felt like insider tips. Because he lived in Madrid, I ended up doing things I probably would have missed out on. Loved shopping at El Rastro Flea Market (it’s huge!). And, Toledo was the perfect day excursion. After a few packed days in Barcelona, Christopher sent me to Cadeques, which was one of my favorite parts of the trip, and wasn&#39;t on my radar. The beach is beautiful and the food is out of this world. Had a great time touring Dali&#39;s house, too. Christopher knows Spain! I was worried about all the details but he was patient and knowledgeable and asked a lot of questions. I really appreciated how he incorporated my many interests into the trip. All in all a pretty stress-free experience. Highly recommend Christopher if you’re planning a trip to Spain!
Aaron - Spain ~ Europe
Working with Christopher was pretty easy. He&#39;s always ready with awesome suggestions and made planning our trip to Punta Cana a breeze. If you&#39;re looking for someone to help you with your next vacation, Christopher’s your guy.
