Traveling through Greece with Marcia Gagliardi
What happens when your dream trip to Greece kicks off with an earthquake? If you're Marcia Gagliardi, you find wine, feta, and unexpected joy in the chaos.
In this episode, Marcia shares her hilarious and heartfelt stories from island-hopping in the Cyclades, surviving a quake in Athens, crashing ferry schedules, and stumbling onto the best taverna on a nearly tourist-free island.
We talk Greek food, coffee culture, quiet islands vs. party beaches, and how Greece might just be the friendliest place on Earth.
Whether you're planning a trip or just love a good travel tale, this one’s packed with laughs, tips, and reasons to say “Opa!”
