Vouryia | 15th round

Athens is an inexhaustible resource of heritage and culture, so rich in history, sights, and tradition, as to be overwhelming. But there is so much to explore beyond Athens. This is why we have chosen the region of East Attica as a field of exploration. Vouryia is a travel agency based in Athens and our aim is to provide bespoke cultural and culinary experiences based on authenticity and locality. Every experience is planned together with locals so that travelers can enjoy authentic Greek hospitality. We believe that the best kind of travel is built with the warmth you receive from a destination, its people, and the stories they share.  We also believe that holidays are more enjoyable if they do good. That is why our experiences are carefully designed to make a positive impact on both the environment and local communities. 

My participation in VentureGarden was crucial as it gave me the opportunity to develop my concept by providing the appropriate business tools. Furthermore, I had the opportunity to exchange ideas and common concerns with other young entrepreneurs who soon became friends and collaborators.
