The winds have taken the Greek Expedition a long way – but the journey is far from over. New horizons lie ahead – but reaching them takes resources to follow courses on maps not yet drawn. At this very moment on our voyage, in the cabin, at our chart desk, we look to you – and ask for your attention:
🧭 The Expedition is expanding – but needs more wind in its sails 🌊
For two years, Greek Expedition has explored and shared a different Greece – through stories, guides, and insights created without ads, sponsors, or paywalls.
Everything you see has been created only through personal funding, powered by curiosity and a passion for exploration, discovery, and sharing. That’s how we’ve stayed true to our course: in-depth, personal, and uncompromising in quality.
If you feel our work brings value, help the wind fill our sails and carry the Expedition further – toward new shores.
🙏 Every contribution, large or small, truly helps:

📣 The mainland has caught sight of the Expedition
It’s a joy to see that the wind has carried our voices to the Greek mainland. Our sails have been spotted on the horizon. Not like an armada – more like a solitary vessel carrying an uncommon cargo: unusual stories about the genuine Greece. And it wasn’t marketers or algorithms who took notice.
In recent months, Greek Expedition has been noticed from unexpected quarters – first in the culture section of Parapolitika, one of Greece’s most widely read news platforms, and more recently in the classic evening newspaper Apogevmatini.
We see it as a sign that our efforts are being recognised – not only for the content of our stories, but for the very choice to present a different Greece, beyond clichés and tired stereotypes. Read the full article in Parapolitika (in English) 👇
⛵ Before we set sail again
It’s been two years since we first raised anchor, and the journey has already brought more than we could have imagined. We’ve chosen a course that often moves more slowly, but leads deeper. Thanks to you, our fellow Greconauts, the Expedition has grown into a living logbook of a different Greece.
Sharing our discoveries with an ever-growing number of curious travelers is a true privilege.
We’re tied to the quay for a while—not in rest, but in waiting. We’re shifting the cargo. New adventures are beginning to take shape out there in the haze. We sense their outlines and feel the wind turning.
Soon, we’ll raise the sails again, toward new horizons.
🌞 Until then: may the summer bring you fair winds, new horizons, and perhaps a dreamy detour from the beaten paths!
And perhaps, somewhere, you’ll catch sight of a sail on the horizon. Then you’ll know: it’s the Greek Expedition, once again in motion.
