“Andrea found Melissa online through social media and pitched me the idea of using her services. I was immediately interested because I was feeling pressure to get the trip to Greece "just right".....we don't know if we'll ever go back, so I wanted to make sure we made the most of the trip.

The entire experience was invaluable to us but the part that meant the most was her scheduling each activity and posting it in the app; it took all the stress out of having to book/schedule things, and we felt confident that we were getting good places/experiences because they were coming from her recommendations.

We also REALLY appreciated staying connected to her when we were in Greece. It gave us peace of mind that she checked in with us each day and was available in case we needed to make a change.”

“Including Melissa in the travel planning process for Greece elevated our travel experience profoundly. Talk about someone who has found their calling in life and executes it masterfully.

Work with 'Ela Opa! Travel if you want to:

Partner with someone who will hear you (Melissa asks the best questions from the start); Uncover experiences/destinations in Greece you didn't know existed (we're talking Greek Goddess level recommendations here); Get support traveling through Greece (all the logistics/tips/support, right at your fingertips); Unlock your passion for Greece and have someone cheering you on along the way.”

“Being a Greek-American learning the language, I wanted an immersive cultural experience. I found Melissa through Instagram. She was able to understand our hopes and dreams for this trip. We would be staying a month with my parents joining the back half of the trip.

After meeting and jiving with Melissa, I knew I could trust her with the logistics of our entire trip. She helped me find places and experiences that I would never have considered and made sure to incorporate in our must-haves. She helped this type A perfectionist manage her FOMO while having the trip of a lifetime.”

Melissa does everything from just creating your basic itinerary (finding the flights and ferries and best way to get to and from each place) all the way to full trip planning. We started with just wanting help with our itinerary and quickly saw that she was so knowledgeable that we booked her for the entire thing.

The best part about Melissa though is that she is an awesome person! She is funny, smart, and knows Greece. She texted me regularly as we planned things and I truly made a great friend thru the process. She even checked on us during our trip and made sure things were going smoothly. Our trip went off without a hitch and we are so grateful for her. If you are ever ready to pull the trigger on your dream trip to Greece, ‘Ela Opa! Travel is your place.”
