Hi, I'm Barbara. I'm a 2nd generation Greek-American traveler, olive oil hoarder and dusty-old-photos enthusiast. 

​​

I’m here to help curious travelers, time-strapped foodies and heritage-seekers dive into the heart of Greece. My goal is to uncover the stories, traditions, and hidden gems that make this country so endlessly fascinating, sharing them through vibrant visuals and fresh perspectives on Greek history, travel, food, and culture. If you’re looking for an authentic connection to Greece that goes beyond the surface, you’ve come to the right place—because the best discoveries don’t come from your average guidebook.

​

So how did this all get started? Growing up with two sets of Greek immigrant grandparents started my life off steeped in the music, history, food and stories of the homeland they loved so much. I grew to love Greece through them at first, and then through my own travels and discoveries.

 

I wanted to create the kind of place that I wanted to see out there in the digital world, but couldn't quite find - a beautiful little spot to go for a bit of history and culture, a touch of genealogy, a few recipes, some  books reviews and favorite music and travel tips and photo galleries, and and maybe a few laughs - all through a Greek lens.

​

And if I wanted a place like that, maybe other people would, too!

​

Consider us your digital taverna when you want a bit of mental stimulation, and your relaxing kafenio when you want to browse around at your leisure. You don't need to be Greek - just Greekish.

​

What's "Greekish"? Anyone who loves and appreciates Greece and any part of Greek culture, whether they have Greek ancestry or not! Are you interested in the history? The music? Do you like to travel to Greece (or maybe dream of going someday)? Maybe you love to cook Greek food? It all counts! You have Greek roots? Even better! But everyone's welcome. 

​

Who is The Greekish Life for?

​

• ​​Cultural Connection: For anyone looking to stay rooted in - or dive deeper into - Greek culture, whether through travel, food, music, or soaking up cultural knowledge.

• Authentic Experiences: For those who crave real experiences - both popular and off-the-beaten-path - and insights about Greece that most tourists never get to see.

• Learning and Knowledge: For the endlessly curious who love exploring Greek history, mythology, and culture - especially when it veers into the unexpected and delightfully quirky.

• Community and Belonging: For people who want to feel part of a welcoming group of like-minded folks who share a passion for all things Greece.

• Personal Enrichment: For those seeking a little personal growth while uncovering the beauty of Greek culture, enriching their lives, and having some fun along the way.
