 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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?

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!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

She is really knowledgeable about all things Greece, and you can tell how much experience she has planning trips just by talking to her. Also, her English is really good so you will have no trouble communicating whatsoever.

This is not generic expat advice.

After years of designing custom Greece experiences, I started seeing a pattern: Many clients weren’t just planning vacations, they were testing whether Greece could be home.

Digital nomads, remote workers and retirees all ask the same questions: Which Greek city fits my lifestyle? How does the Digital Nomad Visa actually work? Where can I find community?

Having lived in 8 countries myself, I know relocation is not only Golden Visa requirements and tax paperwork. It is finding where you actually want to live, navigating cultural differences, and building a life that works, not just getting a residency permit.

Whether you’re pursuing the Digital Nomad Visa, exploring the Golden Visa program, or planning early retirement in Greece, I help Americans figure out if Greece is right for them and if so, exactly how to make it happen.

I look forward to getting to know you better, but for now, here’s a little about me:

Greek native with global outlook
Founder of a thriving Greek travel agency specializing in custom experiences
Well-connected within local and expat networks, ensuring a smooth transition
Access to a trusted network of local professionals
Invaluable insider knowledge of the Greek system
Extensive knowledge of both local culture and the unique needs of expats
Over 8 successful relocations and home setups across Europe, Oceania, Asia and the Middle East

Some questions about Greece can’t be Googled.

How do I really know if a place in Greece is right for me before committing?
What are the biggest mistakes expats make when dealing with Greek bureaucracy?
Will I feel isolated in winter if I choose a summer hotspot?
What do I need to know about choosing a location beyond cost and scenery?
What are the small day-to-day frustrations of living in Greece that no one talks about?
How can I be sure I’m not just romanticizing the idea of living in Greece?
What’s the smartest way to transition both my assets and my life to Greece?

These questions come up in quiet conversations at local taverns, during our trips and in private consultations, from discerning individuals like you who are considering making Greece their home.

The truth is, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. What works for a retiree in Crete might not work for a family in Athens. And I know you’re looking for more than forum opinions or generic advice from a Google search. You want real clarity about your specific situation, your unique needs, and your vision for life in Greece.

That’s exactly why I’m here.
