Greece, arranged entirely around you.
DPH World is an Athens travel house. We design private, tailor-made journeys across the islands and the mainland — the houses, the boats, the guides and the tables — and we are here on the ground while you travel.
A travel house, not a booking site.
Every journey we make is written from scratch for one family, one couple, one set of friends. We know the houses because we have stayed in them, the captains because we sail with them, and the cooks because we eat at their tables on our own days off.
What that gives you is a Greece that is quieter, better timed and entirely private — and one number to call, in Athens, for the whole of it.
- Athens-based, Greek-owned
- Written by hand, never templated
- Licensed & fully insured
- Private, never a group tour
Everything a Greek journey asks for
Journeys designed by hand
Day-by-day private programmes built around you — pace, interests, timing and the light of the season.
Houses, hotels & yachts
Off-market villas, small landmark hotels and crewed yachts across the Aegean and Ionian, all of them known to us personally.
Every movement arranged
Private transfers, ferries, helicopters, drivers and domestic flights, coordinated as one seamless piece.
Guides & rare access
Archaeologists, chefs, winemakers, sailors and artists — the people who make a place open up.
Celebrations & private groups
Weddings, milestones and family gatherings, from ten guests to two hundred, on islands most people never reach.
Someone here, always
A local team on Greek time for the length of your trip — weather, timings, changes of heart.
A guide to the Greece worth your week
Not a list of islands — a way of choosing between them. Pick the mood, and we will build the route around it.
The fashionista islands
The Greece of the imagination, done properly. Mykonos for cosmopolitan energy and the best beach clubs in the Aegean, Santorini for caldera drama and cellar dining, Paros for a relaxed, stylish middle ground of fishing villages and boutique houses.

Begin a journey
We live here
Athens-born and island-raised. Everything we suggest is something we have slept in, sailed on or eaten at ourselves.
Fewer places, longer stays
We would rather give you two islands properly than six in passing. The best week looks almost empty on paper.
Privately, never in a crowd
Your own guide, your own boat, your own table — timed for the hour when everyone else has gone.
One person, start to finish
A named travel designer in Athens who knows your trip by heart, from first idea to last transfer.

Dani Phenekos
DPH World was founded in Athens after a decade of working the Greek coast with the families who own the houses, the captains who read the meltemi and the cooks who don't advertise.
Everything we sell is something we have slept in, sailed on or eaten at ourselves. It is a small house on purpose — we take on a limited number of journeys each season so that every one of them is looked after properly, long after the first plans are made.
"Authentic Greece, shaped to your pace and your story."
