About Greecyz
A quieter way to travel Greece & Cyprus
Greecyz is an independent guide to the slower, more thoughtful side of Greece and Cyprus: boutique and eco stays, wellness escapes, good local food, and the seasons when the islands belong to the people who live there.
We look at every place the way a hotelier does, because that is where Greecyz comes from.
Who we are
We’re Vasilis and Maria. We plan trips the way people who work in hospitality do: where to sleep, how to get around, and what to skip.
Every guide carries a label that tells you how we know a place: Stayed, Tasted, Visited or Researched.
We’re not alone in this. Friends and locals who know their corner of Greece and Cyprus better than we do help along the way, and when someone else writes a guide, we say so.
How we choose
What we look for in a place
Service first
Beautiful rooms matter, but what guests remember is how they were welcomed and how problems were solved.
Honest photos, honest words
A place should look like its pictures, and we say so when it does not.
A sense of place
We favour small, locally rooted stays that respect the landscape and the community around them.
Quiet over crowded
We highlight places and seasons that let you slow down.
Our promise
Greecyz is independent. If a place ever partners with us, we will always tell you clearly, and we will always say when a place was not visited in person.
A hotelier’s eye
The questions we always ask
A hotelier doesn’t only ask whether a place is beautiful. Before you book, we ask the practical things too.
- Where will you sleep?
- How do you get around?
- What is not worth your time?
- When is it at its best?
