When Israelis arrive in Athens, many ask the same questions: where to eat well, how to get from the airport, where to find kosher food, and which trip is really worth the time. Yana answers these questions every day, in Hebrew, in one WhatsApp message.
Who is Yana?
Yana lives in Athens, she is a mother of two, and her father is Greek. She knows the city from the inside and speaks to travellers in their own language.
"I never send you anywhere I wouldn't take my own family," she says. She picked every taverna, yacht and spa she recommends herself.
What does she do?
- Tavernas with Greek food, live music and plate smashing.
- Yacht trips along the Athens coast and Riviera.
- Kosher evenings and places with kosher food.
- Spa and a day of rest.
- Day trips in and around Athens, including tours on electric vehicles between the city's sights.
- Airport and city transfers, with a team of drivers she works with.
- Relocation help for anyone thinking of moving to Greece.
Why it works
The big advantage is that everything is arranged in one place. Instead of hunting for recommendations in dozens of groups, you message Yana, tell her what you like, and she coordinates the experiences, times and transfers. All in Hebrew.
