Travelive Team — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 14:10:19 +0000

How many dishes do you know that can carry the name of a country? And no, not just in terms of its culinary legacy; we’re talking about its actual name!

You see, some foods are such a direct extension of their homeland that they become synonymous with it. And while Greece may be known for a variety of delicious offerings, none grace the menu with quite the same reverence as the Greek Salad.

So today, as part of our ongoing series of bite-sized videos exploring Greek gastronomy, Greece by Travelive’s Director, Kostas Sourvanos, is giving it the spotlight it deserves.

Adriatic Coast to Athenian Riviera: Croatia, Montenegro & Greece

Travelive Team — Fri, 27 Mar 2026 15:55:33 +0000

Combining countries across the Mediterranean works best when the routing is straightforward and each destination adds something distinct.

This itinerary links Croatia, Montenegro, and Greece through a sequence that is easy to manage on the ground while maintaining a consistent level of stay throughout. It begins at Villa Dubrovnik, positioned just outside the Old Town with direct sea access, and continues through One&Only Resorts properties in Montenegro and Athens.

Dubrovnik sets the tone along the Adriatic, Montenegro concentrates the experience within the Bay of Kotor, and Athens brings both scale and contrast, balancing history, food, and time by the sea.

Travelive Team — Wed, 18 Mar 2026 15:48:43 +0000

When someone mentions an island escape to Greece, what is the first thing that you think of? Whitewashed villages and blue domed churches? Volcanic cliffs overlooking crystal clear waters?

You and so many others. But what if there was another side to Greece’s islands? One that is equally striking but in a very different way. A verdant, elegant, and unexpected dimension that remains true to Greece’s timeless allure but at the same time revitalizes it.

That’s the Ionian Islands, Greece’s unsung paradise of lush landscapes, dramatic beaches, and cosmopolitan charm.

And taking us there today as part of the final installment in Greece by Travelive’s series of advisor-picked, themed itineraries is none other than Director of Sales for Greece, Kostas Sourvanos, the man who probably knows more about Greece than anyone on Earth, and maybe even beyond it.

Everyone always talks about an adventure to Greece. But how often are we talking about an actual adventure?
