ZURICH, SWITZERLAND – As the world emerges from one of the greatest setbacks to life as we know it, Hospitality Stories comes to unlock the world of travel and unique experiences. The best kind of travel, the kind that remains in the heart and mind forever, is built on two essential pillars:
1. The warm welcome the traveler receives from a destination and its people and
2. the priceless local stories they bring back home from their journey. This simple statement was what inspired the founder of Hospitality Stories, Dimitra Vlachou to create a company, with expertise in connecting travelers with genuine and personalized experiences in Greece and Turkey.
The mission of Hospitality Stories is the fusion of these two vital elements:
- Hospitality (“filoxenia” in Greek) is an integral part of Greek DNA, for in ancient Greece, hospitality was a cultural law. In turn, Hospitality Stories’ mission is to make travelers immediately feel like honored guests instead of tourists, in each of the
- destinations they visit.
- Our “destination angels”, the local storytellers on the ground, accompany travelers at every moment during their experience, sharing with travelers both unmissable sights and off-grid delights, as well as “inside access” secrets, that make a dream holiday come alive.
