We're Carole & Basil ....

Greece Travel Specialists & owners of the custom travel planning agency, RealGreece Travel.

We create custom trips for curious travelers too busy to plan and looking to experience the culture, history, food & flavors of Greece, beyond the Acropolis & Santorini.

We split our time between Greece & Chicago, when we're lucky we get all four seasons in both the US and Greece!

While our Greece home base is a penthouse in Athens, we spend alot of our time visiting with our travel partners and suppliers inspecting hotels and villas, experiencing the activities we include in the custom itineraries we create for our clients and seeking out new and unique authentic experiences to share with our clients.

While in Chicago our home base is the Magic Factory Lofts on the near north side of Chicago. It's a 120 year old building we created to house our dream home in 1994 and housed our businesses as well as our family. As our focus on Greece grew and we didn't need so much office and home, we downsized our space and created 3 fabulous vacation rental homes - perfect for travelers and visitors to Chicago.
