Efi Kalogirou Made Our Greece Scouting Trip Unforgettable! We just returned from an incredible scouting trip to Greece at the beginning of March 2026, and Efi Kalogirou from Definitely Greece was the absolute highlight. As first-time explorers eyeing a long-term move, we needed someone who could cut through the logistics and show us the real Greece – neighborhoods, daily life, practicalities for expats with pets, and hidden gems that felt like home. Efi was phenomenal from the first call. She tailored our itinerary perfectly to our needs: visa insights, residency options, health services, and even cat-friendly spots in Athens and beyond. Her energy is infectious – warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about helping people build their Greek dream. She took us all over the Peloponnese and Attica regions of mainland Greece, shared insider tips on everything from local markets to reliable vets, and answered our endless questions with patience and expertise. Thanks to Efi, we left with a clear plan, confidence in our next steps, and memories of the authentic Greek hospitality she embodies. If you’re scouting Greece, book Efi now – she’s not just a guide; she’s your relocation expert!

Beyond grateful for your kind words. You give me hope and strength to keep up with more passion. It was an absolute delight to be around you during our scouting trip. The process is not easy and can get so overwhelming but you were both so open to understand the dynamics and so patient which is always helpful. 🧡

We engaged Efi for her relocation expertise and her knowledge of Greece. She is the real deal having relocated 8 times herself and likely has more experience than most relocation experts. Efi has a wonderful personality and is super easy to talk to and discuss all those things that keep you awake at night when considering a move to a new country. The questions she asked us got us thinking differently. This was very useful as although we have lived in 4 countries this move is for retirement rather than work so a very different experience for us. Efi carefully listens and takes the time to really understand the needs of her clients - who couldn't use someone like that in their lives when making big life changes?

Thank you for your kind words. Relocation is a delicate process that requires a lot of patience and support. Living abroad can be hard, I am grateful that I can help others.

Viajamos con Definitely Greece y contamos con la maravillosa atención de Efi, quien preparó para nosotros un viaje totalmente personalizado por la Grecia continental. Cada día fue un auténtico regalo. Su exquisito gusto para diseñar la ruta, la selección de alojamientos y restaurantes, y su manera de acompañarnos —siempre paciente, amable y cercana— hicieron que la experiencia fuera inolvidable. Ha sido un viaje increíble, lleno de anécdotas, detalles y mucho cariño. Gracias, Efi, por crear para nosotros un recorrido que recordaremos siempre. ¡Volveríamos a viajar contigo sin dudarlo!

Halee Richard 2025.08.04

I had a great experience working with Efi while researching places to live in Greece. I shared my lifestyle preferences and some concerns about moving, and she came back with a solid list of neighborhoods in Athens that matched what I was looking for. She also suggested a few other cities I hadn’t considered, which really opened up my options. After our conversations, I felt much more confident and informed about the next steps.!

Thank you so much for your kind words Halee, this makes me so happy to read!

It’s such a big step to move somewhere new, and I’m really glad you’re feeling excited about your next steps now.

We just finished a 10 day trip to Greece and it was incredible!! Efi helped to customize a trip for 10 of us that hit everything we wanted to do. We had amazing villas in gorgeous locations. Efi kept in mind that moving 10 people around is not an easy task therefore kept things simple for us. We spent days on Crete where we renewed our vows for our 30th anniversary and Efi helped make that a special evening - by enhancing the setting with flowers and candles. After our time on Crete - we then made our way to Delph and Galaxidi which was a picturesque beautiful town that we never would have found on our own. Our 3 days in Athens were the perfect blending of touring/history and exploring on our own. We would not have had the experience we had without Efi - every single detail, restaurant, transfer and tour was top notch and completely thought out. Efi's attention to detail was top notch. She is sweet, knowledgeable, organized and became one of the family. I cannot recommend Definitely Greece and Efi enough! Contact them to help plan your Greek vacation!!

Karen, thank you so much. I loved every minute with your family. You were all so open, kind, and easy to be around, it made planning and spending time with you a real joy. I’ll never forget that vow renewal night in Crete. You made it special just by being yourselves.

I’m glad you got to see places like Galaxidi, it’s a quiet gem most people skip. And it means a lot that the little touches made a difference.
Big hugs to the whole gang. You felt like family to me too.

Η Εφη δεν είναι απλώς εξωτερική μας συνεργάτης στο marketing, είναι κομμάτι της ομάδας μας. Με επαγγελματισμό, έμπνευση και απίστευτη θετική ενέργεια, έχει συμβάλει καθοριστικά στην προβολή της DS Freight Forwarding με ουσία και δημιουργικότητα. Στο πρόσφατο μας event, η εμπειρία της έκανε πραγματικά τη διαφορά. Χάρη στις γνώσεις και τις διασυνδέσεις της, οργάνωσε κάθε λεπτομέρεια: από την προσέγγιση και πρόσκληση των πελατών, τη διαμονή τους, τον σχεδιασμό επισκέψεων, μέχρι την εκπαίδευση της ομάδας μας για το πώς να διαχειριστούμε κοινό από την Ελλάδα και το εξωτερικό. Μας έκανε να νιώθουμε ασφαλείς, ήρεμοι και... λίγο πιο experts κι εμείς. Είναι σπάνιο να βρεις έναν άνθρωπο που μπορεί να συνδυάζει το δημιουργικό με το οργανωτικό τόσο ισορροπημένα.

Μαζί το καταφέραμε! Δεν είναι απλώς χαρά να συνεργάζομαι μαζί σας, είναι κάτι βαθύτερο.
Όταν υπάρχει ποιότητα στους ανθρώπους, όλα είναι διαφορετικά.
Δεν χρειάζονται πολλά λόγια, ούτε εξηγήσεις. Υπάρχει σεβασμός, κατανόηση, διάθεση για συνεργασία.
Μπαίνει μια ροή, μια ηρεμία στη διαδικασία, γιατί όλοι ξέρουν γιατί κάνουν αυτό που κάνουν.
Σε τέτοιες συνθήκες, μπορείς να δώσεις τον καλύτερό σου εαυτό χωρίς να νιώθεις πίεση.
Και αυτό κάνει όλη τη διαφορά, γιατί το αποτέλεσμα δεν είναι απλώς «σωστό». Έχει ουσία. Έχει προοπτική.
Νιώθω πως αυτό ήταν μόνο η αρχή.
Είναι σπάνιο να νιώθεις κομμάτι μιας ομάδας τόσο φυσικά. Σας ευχαριστώ για την εμπιστοσύνη και για όσα χτίσαμε μαζί.

Efi ist ab der ersten Begegnung und der ersten Nachricht unglaublich warmherzig und inspirierend. Ich habe mich sofort gut aufgehoben gefühlt und würde die Planung meiner Reise mit vollem Vertrauen in ihre Hände legen. Ich habe mich bei ihr gemeldet, um erstmal eine Orientierung zu bekommen, wie eine Reise mit ihrer Planung und Hilfe aussehen könnte und welche Orte sie mir empfehlen würde. In einem kostenlosen 15-Minuten-Meeting hat sie sich meine Vorstellungen und Wünsche sehr aufmerksam zu Herzen genommen und hatte schon passende Vorschläge parat. Wie schnell sie die Wünsche ihrer Klienten versteht, war spätestens dann klar, als sie mir den perfekten Geheimtipp genannt hat, der schon weit oben auf meiner Reiseliste steht :-) Ich werde mir dEFInitiv sobald wie möglich ihre Unterstützung bei dieser Reise holen und freue mich schon sehr darauf, was für tolle Ideen Efi hat, um das Erlebnis noch besser zu machen. Ihr Enthusiasmus steckt an und sie steckt voller Begeisterung und Unterstützung für die Reiseträume anderer. Ich kann ihre Beratung von ganzem Herzen empfehlen. Vielen Dank, liebe Efi, ευχαριστώ πολύ!

Laura, you’re such a breath of fresh air! Your passion for mythology and learning Greek is so inspiring

it’s amazing to see someone dive deeply into a culture. I am honored and I love your energy and excitement for exploring.

Your trip is going to be something really special with your curiosity leading the way. Thank you for your kind words.

Melissa Lester 2024.10.28

Wow! Efi and her team at Definitely Greece are amazing!! They kind, thoughtful, engaging, fun to spend time with, and meticulously planned the trip of a lifetime for us after meeting a few times to get to know our love of history, mythology, art, food, beautiful views, beaches, and getting to know the culture of where we are traveling. We had private tours of Athens and the Acropolis with a surprise addition of a play at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus. We explored the beautiful beaches and cities of Paros. Watched breathtaking views of the sunset over the caldera in Santorini, where we also enjoyed a visit to a symposium on the history of Greek music, and a private wine tour with a sommelier. We visited The Temple of Apollo - once considered the center of the world - where the Oracle of Delphi once shared her predictions. We briefly visited Corninth and Napfelion that also included private tours where we learned the history of these ancient cities. And the food... There was so much unbelievably good food and wine often with a spectacular view. I could go on and on about this trip. But what made it even more special was how amazing Efi and everyone on her team was. We miss them already, and can't wait to go back. I highly recommend working with Definitely Greece if you want the trip of a lifetime catered specifically for you!

Melissa, thank you so much for this incredible review! Reading through your review and your kind words, brought a big smile to my face – it was truly a pleasure getting to know you and creating a trip that brought together all of your passions, from history and mythology to art, food, and those unforgettable views. We all loved every moment spent planning and sharing these experiences with you, from the magic of Delphi to our last day in Nafplio. And I must say, we couldn’t have asked for a more photogenic travel duo!

We’re already missing you both and I am thrilled that Greece has a special place in your heart now.
Thank you again for letting us be part of these unforgettable moments with you!

Efi was the most amazing tour guide we could have possibly imagined. We were referred through a mutual friend when planning a trip to Greece and hoping to fit in bucket list items while still having an authentic and relaxed feeling vacation (full of amazing food) and she checked every box. She exceeded our expectations and made every moment of the trip so special, unique and catered to our specific needs every step of the way. She truly became like family by the end! Highly recommend booking with her and get ready to have the trip of a lifetime.

Thank you so much, Vanna! It was an absolute pleasure sharing Greece with you and helping make those bucket-list dreams come true. I’m thrilled the trip felt authentic, relaxed, and filled with all the delicious food you were hoping for. Getting to know you, your sister and your dad, creating these moments together was truly special for me too—and by the end, it felt like we’d known each other for ages! Thank you for trusting me to be part of your journey. Looking forward to welcoming you back anytime...soon!

What started as an inquiry about travel ended with an amazing experience fulfilling my dream to explore my family's roots in Greece. Efi did research for me that was comprehensive, and connected me with a historian who did a custom tour for me at the National Museum. Definitely Greece is definitely the place to start and stay with for an amazing exploration of Greece! She is the best at making dreams come true!

Wayne T Smith 2024.07.04

Efi and Defiantly Greece, arranged a lifetime experience for us traveling through Greece. She went above and beyond our expectations to make our trip memorable and so special. Firstly, she listened to our ideas in order to build a custom itinerary around our travel preferences (good food, the main tourist attractions, and especially the small non-tourist towns). Then booked all our internal travel (by plane, ferry, and car), accommodation, and booked or suggested restaurants. She was even our personal guide and driver for Athens to Thessaloniki. Special note: she really does know the special, little out of the way places that we enjoyed so much. And the two specialist tourist guides she booked for us for the Acropolis and Delphi were very good. Part historian, trip planner and tour guide, she’s also personal, very professional, well informed and organized. And just as important to us: she’s caring, fun to be around, with a keen sense of humour. She takes care of business too; always available with quick responses during the planning stages and leading up to the trip. Efi is also able to be flexible on the day when it comes to the everyday itinerary, something we did more than once; when we did, or didn’t want to do something. Fond memories of our trip that will last a lifetime. Thanks to Efi and her team. Wayne and Moana

Your kind words about my approach mean a lot. I strive to blend professionalism with a personal touch, making sure every detail is taken care of so you can relax and fully enjoy the whole experience.
It was wonderful spending time with you from Athens to Thessaloniki, and I'm glad my flexibility during the trip allowed us to adapt and tailor the itinerary to your preferences on the go.
Thank you once again for choosing my company to explore Greece.
As always, safe travels no matter where in our beautiful planet.

We had just the best experience possible with Efi! She went out of her way to give us a whirlwind adventure for 2 days and spent so much time making sure we did the kinds of things we enjoy. She met us at our hotel when we arrived and arranged everything from there! Really unique tours and such a warm, caring, thoughtful person who was so easy to spend time with. We cannot recommend Efi strongly enough.

I cannot say enough good things about Efi and the service she provides. I had never used a travel agent before reaching out to Efi, and I immediately felt a kinship with her and knew we would be taken care of. She listened intently to the kind of trip we were hoping to have during our 10 days in Greece, and orchestrated an experience for us that was beyond anything we ever could have done on our own. She’s like the grand maestro of travel! From planning private tours of the Acropolis and Delphi with the most knowledgeable and engaging tour guides, to day trips through side streets and cafes of smaller villages and lesser known historical sites, to seamlessly handling transfers to and from airports and hotels, to advising us on the best things to do and places to visit on our own. The list goes on and on. Everything that Efi had a hand in exceeded our hopes and expectations and had a personal touch that we could not have achieved otherwise. Not the mention the fact that I would go back to Greece just to spend time with Efi, she is gracious and curious and funny and incredibly sharp, but maybe that’s besides the point 😂 After having the great fortune of getting to work with Efi, I trust her implicitly, and urge anyone visiting Greece to hire her to make it a one-of-a-kind experience for you.

Vacation in Greece I had a most wonderful holiday in Greece! Efi was able to compress the essence of her beautiful country in stories, sightseeing and food in 12 days! All personal and delightful! Though we were a group twenty, my experience felt so personal and unhurried - thanks to Efi’s attentive, warm and generous spirit. Each of our concern was important to her and did her utmost to be flexible to make us happy and satisfied. All our guides were knowledgeable and well-versed! People who love to eat are always the best and the happiest people and do the Greeks love their food. Me, too! Healthy yet flavorful! Green with lots of exciting spices! I’m so missing those sumptuous meals we had! I want to do another Greek vacation soon! 💕

We had a wonderful time on our first trip to Greece/Hellas! Efi planned a beautifully relaxing trip with beaches, history, great food (try the grass!) and wonderful company alone the way. The trip guide, Rania, was so very accommodating to our every need and very flexibly with any changes we wanted to make during the trip. Our driver, George, was great as well - full of great energy, music and knowledge on the culture. All in all it was a trip we’ll never forget and will definitely be back to explore and reunite with new friends. Thank you so much Efi, Rania and Sir George! Until we meet again - Ben
