Rebecca Skevaki
Hi! My name is Rebecca Skevaki a Greek/Australian, travel and food and wine passionate. I got the travel bug at my first taste of traveling at just the age of 4 when my family sailed from Greece on a 42-day voyage to Australia. From then I have visited 46 countries and more than 240 cities. For me, "To travel is to live,” as said by Hans Christian Andersen.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"We specialize in the most beautiful country, Greece! Every traveler wants not only to learn about the culture and history but also to experience the delights of the local food, comfortable transportations, and other amenities to ensure a completely stress-free holiday and that's what we guarantee!
We love suggesting to all our travelers' unique experiences, going off the beaten path and interacting with locals through tours and activities where they use all of their senses. It doesn't mean forsaking seeing the highlights of the destination but doing it in a more "authentic" and responsible way."
How did you get involved in travel?
"My passion became my profession and after working for years in the public relations field and marketing, I founded Go Local Tours a company that ran tours in Australia before moving permanently to Greece my "Homeland" and creating GrecianLux, a company that helps travelers experience Greece like never before. For me, traveling isn't only admiring the views. To comprehend a destination, travelers have to forge deeper connections with the people, traditions, and customs of the place they visit and seek travel experiences that resonate on a deep emotional level."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"One of my unforgettable experiences was while on a customized trip for an extended family where the father was visually impaired. I will never forget the tears in his eyes when he managed to understand how life used to be in Ancient Greece by incorporating a range of activities that stimulated each of the senses. "

From the beginning of the whole booking process, Rebecca’s has been amazing ! She was very thorough throughout the planning process. Our tour guides George and Theo were absolutely incredible! We had so much fun with the two of them and they really showed us all around Athens! The rest of the trip was just as amazing on the other islands and everything was so smooth. From the clean hotels, to the luxury car transfers it couldn’t have been smoother. We are so happy we booked with this agency and HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking to book! Thanks for a dream vacation!

We had a truly amazing trip to Greece thanks to Rebecca and her team members with KimKim! Our arriving flight was delayed multiple times and she was always responsive and our pickup was there on-time at 1:30 a.m. The next morning we were met by a friendly GrecianLux concierge, taken for coffee at an adorable place for a brief orientation. We felt very warmly welcomed. Our archaeologist guide in Athens, Nikolaos, was exceptionally knowledgable, making our private tour of the Acropolis an... read more

We had wonderful guides and experiences on the Greek mainland, Santorini, and Crete. It was wonderful to not have to drive or worry about transportation and each of our guides was knowledgeable about their areas and took us to places we would have never found on our own. Highlights for us were Crete and Meteora. Had some marvelous food and wine all over Greece. Babbis(mainland) Lazurus (Santorini), and Yiannis (Crete) were all just fantastic guides and hosts. We loved everything we saw,... read more

Our Grecian vacation exceeded every expectation! Rebecca's attention to detail, respect for our individual needs, and depth of planning, allowed us to travel with confidence and peace of mind. The hotel accommodations were not only conveniently located to our specific city itineraries, but also more luxurious than we would have chosen for ourselves. Having a breakfast available each day was a delight and the food choices at each hotel were culinary experiences of their own. We found the... read more

Our trip was lovely. We were able to experience Greece from the perspective of wonderful Greek tour guides. We covered archaeological, ecological, geographical, and historical topics. We felt we came away with a much better understanding of the country.
Our guides, Kostis , George, Nikolaos, and Theo were all so knowledgeable . They opened our eyes to the history and mythology of Greece.

First of all I need to start by saying this whole trip exceeded our expectations. Rebecca was always there to help with questions or concerns and always came through with a solution. There were absolutely no hiccups in this trip plan on Rebecca’s side.

Where to begin? This was our first trip to Greece and we utilized KimKim to help us navigate the many choices available to us. Rebecca was our local specialist and provided us with constant care while in Greece. She answered our questions, recommended activities and even made us reservations, all on the fly! We especially loved our guide, Apostolos, in Santorini, who took us everywhere, and the sailing cruise from Mykonos to Rhenia and Delos. Gorgeous stay at Petit Palace in Santorini (highly... read more

There is no other way to visit this special place than having someone who completely knows each city, every logistical twist and turn to make sure you have a stress free experience.

We had the most amazing trip in Greece! Rebecca Skevakis was our travel specialist and she could not have set up a more seamless or thoughtful trip for us. We are a family of four, two teenage kids (daughter 16 and son 14) from Boulder, Colorado. We have traveled a lot and typically arrange our own itinerary. For Greece, since we only had ten days and I wanted to make the most of our time there, I used KimKim and Rebecca to assist with all the details. As the title of the review... read more

Let me start by saying that I can not say enough great things about our recent trip to Greece!!
The whole country is AMAZING! The people are so welcoming and friendly, the food and wine are to die for, and the sights and history are unbelievable.

We highly recommend Rebecca and will use her again for our next trip to Greece. read more

Honestly, I don't have the words to describe how wonderful the whole thing was. We went to Greece and we were connected with Rebecca from Grecian Lux. From beginning to end, the entire trip was flawless. I went with a friend and we wanted to ensure that our friendship remained intact, so we wanted to be on the trip and not have to think about anything. Rebecca took care of it all, and even dealt with our tourist brains when we messaged her with questions we should already have known. She... read more
