About Us

At Englobia, we are a team of passionate Greek travel experts dedicated to showcasing the beauty, culture, history, and spirit of Greece. Founded by long-time hospitality professionals Argyris Nikou and Mikaella Manola, Englobia was built on a shared love for travel, deep local knowledge, and a commitment to creating meaningful and unforgettable experiences.

As avid travelers ourselves, we understand what makes a vacation truly special. Our mission is simple:
to help you experience Greece—not as a tourist, but as a welcomed guest.

With a strong background in tourism, wine culture, hotel management, and guided travel, our team brings an authentic and personal approach to every journey we design.

We're dedicated to providing our customers with the most innovative and user-friendly platform for exploring, customizing, and reserving their Greece vacation packages quickly and safely.

Our Philosophy

At Englobia, we believe that travel should be:

• Effortless – with seamless planning and transparent pricing

• Authentic – designed by locals who know Greece inside out

• Personal – tailored to the traveler, not the other way around

• Enriching – filled with moments that last a lifetime

Our approach is rooted in true Greek hospitality (philoxenia). From choosing the perfect hotel to connecting you with knowledgeable local guides, everything we do aims to create the most rewarding travel experience.

Our mission is to highlight the natural beauty, cultural richness, and warm hospitality of Greece by offering exceptional travel experiences that exceed expectations.

We carefully select our partners, hotels, guides, and service providers to ensure that every traveler receives the highest level of care, comfort, and value.

At Englobia, we create trips for people like us—curious, passionate, and eager to experience the real Greece.

 

Argyris Nikou (Archie)

Co-Founder & Director

Welcome to Greece—my home, my passion, and a country I am proud to share with travelers from around the world.

With years of experience in tourism, hospitality, sales, and as a professional local guide in Santorini, I bring a deep understanding of what makes a journey extraordinary. As a certified WSET wine guide, I am especially excited to introduce visitors to Greece’s rich wine and gastronomic heritage.

My goal is to ensure every traveler enjoys Greece the way locals do—authentically, comfortably, and meaningfully.

 

Mikaella Manola

Co-Founder & Operations Manager

Travel has always been a defining part of my life. With experience as a hotel receptionist, reservations manager, and traveler at heart, I’ve learned how important it is to feel supported and inspired during a trip.

I speak English, Greek, and French, love art and culture, and enjoy discovering the stories behind every destination. At Englobia, I’m committed to designing smooth, flexible, and memorable travel experiences that reflect the uniqueness of each traveler.
