Melina Theo ,

Discover Greece and have a blast listening to Maria & George!

A feel-good podcast that will point you to the most eclectic things to see, taste and experience on a multitude of Greek islands (and beyond)! I love listening to the banter of Maria and George and I love their focus on inclusivity - giving tips for solo travellers, vegans and the LGBTIQA+ community among others. If you’re interested in discovering Greece, I can’t recommend this highly enough!
