“Imagine if I could do this for a living,” I sighed, leaning back in the backseat of a taxi after a weekend of showing visiting friends the most hidden gems of my city. I was 19 — unaware that this moment would reveal my calling. Curating exceptional memories wasn’t just something I loved; it was what I was meant to do.

Born and raised on the island of Zakynthos, within a family of hoteliers, I discovered early on the joy of making others feel at home. I can still remember following my mother, barefoot with salty hair, as she served breakfast at our small seaside motel — or standing beside my father, greeting guests in my best broken English.

My studies in International Relations, Politics, Economics, and Business Management later expanded into International Marketing, Art, and Culture — nurturing my fascination with humanity, creativity, and global connection. These years deepened my love for intercultural exchange and the art of meaningful encounters.

My professional path became clear when I began working as a Luxury Concierge at some of Greece’s finest resorts. That chapter allowed me to absorb the essence of bespoke hospitality, collaborate with extraordinary professionals, and oversee stays for distinguished guests from around the world.

Eventually, I felt ready to bring my own vision to life — Evádere Concierge.

A reflection of my passion and purpose: to take each of my guests under my care from the moment they trust me with their most valuable assets — their time and their dreams.

Founded on the timeless principles of traditional luxury concierge service, Evádere blends contemporary sensibility with cultural depth. It’s built on discretion, artistry, and the constant pursuit of excellence.

After all, the essence of Evádere is escapism itself — to help you break free from the ordinary and immerse yourself in the art of living, while we handle every detail behind the scenes.
