When Zissimos took over his family business more than a decade ago, he saw great potential in Greece as an affordable-luxury destination. By relying on an extensive network of personal contacts rather than third-party planning companies, he can craft personalized vacations (surprise yacht trips along the Bosporus, private cooking classes on a farm in Crete), often at a lower price than his competitors.
Excited about: Mílos, the southernmost of the Cycladic islands, is slowly and quietly attracting authenticity-seeking travelers, who are drawn to its refreshed inns and new restaurants.
