OUR TRAVEL

Executive Travel Director

Travel design is my language — a dialogue between art and precision. I see each itinerary not as a list of logistics, but as a cinematic sequence of emotion, rhythm, and discovery.

Ioannis Georgiadis

Head Travel Concierge & Lifestyle Manager

Luxury, for me, is not about excess — it’s about intuition. I anticipate what travelers need before they even ask, crafting moments that feel effortless, genuine, and deeply personal.

Antonis Kalamaridis

Founder & Owner

I founded Snami Travel with one belief — that true luxury lies in human connection. Every journey we design is a reflection of that simple truth: detail, emotion, and purpose woven into one seamless story.

Manolis Georgiadis

Travel Designer & Operations Lead

For me, designing travel is about intuition — understanding what guests feel before they even say it. I craft experiences that balance elegance with sincerity, because luxury must always feel human.

What they say

We had a fantastic day out in Crete on this tour. We did a private tour, and both our guide and our driver were outstanding. We saw beautiful sites, visited multiple towns, and we were even able to visit an olive oil factory that was closed for the season, but opened for us to see their factory and taste/purchase olive oil to take home. Fabulous day!
