About

About Rebecca

British travel writer, author and Greece specialist, based in Athens. I write about destinations, culture, hotels and travel experiences, with a particular expertise in Greece and the Mediterranean — and a curiosity that has taken me from Greek islands to a 37-day container-ship journey from Athens to Hong Kong.
