Specialties:

Honeymoons – Having visited various Honeymoon destinations around the world, eg, Bora Bora and Hawaii, I understand the importance of ensuring that, as newleyweds, your journey must be memorable one.  It is your first holiday together, as a married couple and needs to be a wonderful experience to talk about with your children and grandchildren.  If your desire is to do nothing but relax on a deck chair in the sun, with a pina colada in hand, along with spa treatments, I can arrange it.  If your preference is to have a more active holiday, eg, a cycling holiday in Vietnam, this can also be achieved.  Combination of both?  Not a problem.  I will find the perfect destination to suit your needs.  My service extends to arranging special “Honeymoon extras”, eg, fruit and champange on arrival and complimentary room upgrades.  Subject to availability.  I can also offer a Honeymoon Registry service and Honeymoon Gift Certificates. 
Think Honeymoons...think Maria Piliouras at TravelManagers.

African Safaris – My favourite & most unique corner of the globe!  What can I say?  Africa is exciting, adventurous and more importantly it can be life changing – literally!  Whether it’s your first time or if you are returning to this wonderful part of the world, I will offer my recommendations and advice based on your experience and requirements.  If your dream is a luxury African Safari, or you prefer roughing it at camp sites, there are many options available to you.  If you want to be with other people in a group, or would rather tour privately, I can organise it.  To be up close and personal with an elephant, giraffe and rhino is amazing.  It’s something everyone in their life should experience!

Greece & the Mediterranean – How can this not be one of my specialties?!  This region is where my heritage began.  Greece and the Med oozes culture, is rich in history and boasts some of the best food in the world!  There are many travel options in Greece and the Med.  From independant touring, to island hopping to cruises - there is something for everyone.  Imagine beginning your journey viewing some of the oldest and ancient ruins in the world on mainland Greece, then 10 days of glorious Island Hopping on Santorini and Mykonos, just to name a few, then ending your journey in exotic Istanbul with its mosques and old bazaars.  Sounds like your type of holiday?  I can make it happen.
Think Greece & the Med...think Maria Piliouras at TravelManagers.

Although I enjoy organising the specialty holidays above, I am extremely confident in assisting my clients with all other destinations and types of travel.

Stick with me...I'll take you places!

Customer Testimonials:

Maria has arranged three detailed itineraries for me over the last five years - South America, Middle East/Mediteranean/North Africa and I write this from Yogyakarta in Indonesia on a trip around South East Asia that Maria has again organised for me. Every trip has been organised in great detail and has been an outstanding success. For each trip Maria has always provided me with immediate and excellent feedback on any issues, offered alternatives if required and discussed any matters that have arisen. Her attitude and service have always been outstanding and her commitment to the travel industry makes her a credit to the travel business.
 
I have recommended her to my friends and I will always return to Maria for my travel requirements as she makes sure that she knows and understands my travel requirements. Her attitude and the complete service she offers makes her the perfect Personal Travel Manager - Jeff

I first met Maria through my sister while planning a weeks holiday in Hong Kong for a friend’s 50th birthday in August 2010. My first impression of Maria as a Personal Travel Manager was how professional she was, nothing was too much trouble and she had great recommendations for tours and accommodation, we thoroughly enjoyed our week away and everything from our transfers, tours and accommodation was organised perfectly.

In December of last year I travelled to Thailand with my husband and son, we contacted Maria prior to our trip and she gave us all of our options, we changed our dates and accommodation many times, but once again nothing was too much trouble, we had an amazing holiday, it totally exceeded our expectations!  I even called Maria from Koh Samui with a question and she went out of her way to help us, and it was just a few days before her wedding!

Many people had suggested we should just book everything ourselves via the internet as it was cheaper -  not only was our holiday affordable but we liked the peace of mind of having an experience Personal Travel Manager who gave us great advice and was always there when we needed to speak with her.  

We certainly will be in touch with Maria soon for her guidance and options for our next holiday to Vietnam this year!- Gayle

I have been a client of Maria Piliouras’s for four years.  On all occasions when she has acted as our Travel Agent, the arrangements have been done with attention to detail, whilst still being individual and flexible.

Maria is very experienced and has always been able to provide the answers to any of my travel queries. She always spent as much time as required patiently adjusting and re-adjusting my travel arrangements as necessary! As a bonus, Maria’s bright and cheerful personality and delightful sense of humour have made the whole experience of being her client very enjoyable.I would have no hesitation recommending Maria to and her travel services to anyone;  and in fact I have done so on several occasions - Julie
