Kelifos

The Kelifos team

Behind every Kelifos trip, there are faces, voices, enthusiasts who know Greece like the back of their hand. Our team does not simply design holidays: they live them, test them, refine them, season after season.

Behind these trips, our experts

Advisors who know the ground

At Kelifos, no one will recommend a hotel without having slept there, or a path without having walked it. Our advisors travel regularly to Greece to verify the quality of every service, discover new addresses and maintain the ties forged with our local partners.

When you call us, you do not reach a call centre: you speak with someone who can describe the evening light over Santorini, the taste of goat cheese on Naxos or the scent of orange trees in the Peloponnese. This personalised advice is our pride and your best guarantee of a successful trip.

Our partners in Greece

The other half of the Kelifos team lives in Greece. They are our local correspondents, our English-speaking guides, our hosts and our transport providers. Selected for their reliability, their warmth and their intimate knowledge of their region, they are the natural extension of our standards.

They are the ones who welcome you at the airport with a smile, who take you along paths only the locals know, who open the doors of their kitchen for a lesson in moussaka or baklava. Without them, Kelifos would be just a travel agency. With them, it is an invitation to join the family.

A human-sized team

We have chosen to stay small. Not for lack of ambition, but out of conviction. A human-sized team means every traveller is known, every request handled with care, every trip followed from beginning to end by the same person.

It also means our passion remains intact. We love what we do, and it shows: in the quality of our advice, in the care given to every detail, in the genuine joy we feel when you return from Greece with stars in your eyes.

Giovanna Crippa

Product Manager Europe

Born in Como, in northern Italy, this multilingual former scout left the shores of her lake many years ago to settle on the other side of the Alps. She grew up with the Mediterranean — its light, its tables, its villages that take their time. She will help you shape your trip, always with a smile.

Sifnos

Moniteur de ski nordique diplômé d'Etat

David brings both his energy and experience to Kelifos. His unique background — combining a rigorous academic education with an intense sporting career as a cross-country ski instructor and former high-level athlete — gives him a rare ability to balance a broad vision with a hands-on approach. Curious and passionate about discovery, he has traveled extensively: throughout Europe, which he knows intimately, but also across Asia, which he has continued to explore over the years. These experiences shape his way of leading: with pragmatism, openness, and a constant drive to move forward. What stands out most is his talent for connecting different horizons — practice and reflection, local and international — to create momentum that helps Kelifos grow while staying true to its identity.

State-certified mountain leader

A nature lover, traveller, backpacker and hiker at heart, I set down my bags in Greece over 10 years ago, in Crete to be precise. It's with great joy and at a gentle pace that I'll be sharing my knowledge of my adopted country with you, along the Greek paths steeped in ́history and with astonishing landscapes. Friendliness and the well-being of everyone are always at the centre of my concerns. See you soon on the roads!
