Ruth came from the US to Greece to stay and become a true American-Greek! Cliche as can be, she was enchanted by the beauties of the country, the food and the lifestyle (afternoon siestas and winter sea swimming!), maybe some men too!    An avid traveller and alternative eco-lifestyle aficionado, she has visited many countries and destinations around Greece and has walked paths in several Greek mountains, one of her hobbies.    She found her calling as a top organiser running villa as Head of Operations to Michael’s perfection standards. Simultaneously, she keeps up network data and advertising for GV4R exclusively managed villas. A US trained and licensed massage therapist also, her passion is also wellness and spas, having had hands-on experience at many of them around the globe.

An experienced professional in the tourism industry with a wide range of experiences. From running a boutique hotel in Karpenissi for a number of years, to working for the leading adventure activities’ company to a FIT professional and customer travel designer for several known inbound operators in Greece. Active, lively, spunky, Maria’s credo is that to know it, you have to have tried it. Hence she has travelled, walked, biked, kayaked, boated, paddled, swam, eaten all over Greece to be able to discover and safely make activity and themed recommendations for you that will fit your travel profile.

After spending several years at Apple and its service, Kostas decided to spread his own wings and knowledge and join our team. Kostas does not cease to amaze us with his eagerness to help, breadth of technical knowledge, a constant source of reference and inspiration. When he is not on his cell phone answering stupid technical questions, his passion lies elsewhere though: cars! No one beats Kostas in automotive knowledge, F1 or other races, ask and you shall learn. He also is the absolute live database for something more affordable: best places to eat in Greece, any kind, forks-on! Is quite amazing how and how much he knows and never fails to deliver the absolute best place, so we have justifiably made him a part of our Athens concierge team.

Joanna joined and heads the Agency Support Team recently, replacing our friend and long time associate ELENA MAKRI, who left GV4R in June 23 after 15 years of a productive collaboration. Joanna comes from a strong real estate and accounting background, but tourism has won her heart. She serves also as a real estate consultant for our tourism investor projects. Her outgoing and lively character definitely ads spice and fun to the office. Another great cook too!

Aris is our youngest team member and he loves people! Social interactive, service-oriented. A last year BA student in Marketing at the Athens Economic University, he knows his calling in tourism. Social, kind, funny, outgoing, polite and obliging, he has been successfully working at our Customer Support Desk since 2020 gaining everybody’s appreciation.

Penny has been for several years our resident, experienced wedding and event planner, with many a successful event behind her, all over Greece. She is highly knowledgable of the event market, kind and patient enough to listen to any couples and mother-of-the-bride logical or far-strung demands.
