Dimitra Panagiotopoulou

"Dimitra was the heart and soul of our trip. Her knowledge of the history and landscape of the islands was impressive and her endless energy was very much appreciated. She is kind, generous, and professional, which made me proud to be part of a group she was leading. Her insights into Greek culture and her recounting stories of her own life and family — some very poignant, and some extraordinarily funny -- added a dimension to the trip that I valued at the time, but even more so now that I have returned and am reflecting on this truly fantastic journey."
