A Word From Us

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.
