Orloff Legacy Suites
@lucytzlp
A 1800s building, continuously inhabited until the 1930s. After many years of abandonment, it eventually went through a restoration which was done with full respect for the history of the area and the building's architectural heritage.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Lucy Tzlp
Hi there! I am Lucy, your Greece travel expert.
I was born and raised in Athens, Greece and I am coming from a family for which travelling was, and still is, a highly important part, has been a blessing. Through my life I have been on various adventures both in Greece and Europe. My best memories are from our family trips, with my favorite ones being from a 10 day road trip we planned ourselves.
Life is an adventure itself, which led me to living and studying in Lleida, Cataluña, Spain for 6 months, back in 2017. The same year, I permanently moved to the Netherlands, where I have been living the past 6 years. I moved here for love but never forgot to chase my dreams. So, in 2020, in the middle of the pandemic, I graduated with a Masters in Tourism and Culture from the Radboud University.
The last 3 years, I have been working full time in the tourism industry while at the same time, I have been building a community on social media that promotes sustainable, slow, mindful, budget friendly and wheelchair accessible travel to various places in Greece. I do all the research and groundwork to create E-Books for different locations in Greece, that can be used by anyone, all year around. To complete these E-Books, I collaborate with businesses that value quality and true hospitality. Thus, I can work on deals and special discounts if my clients ask.
Hope I can create the travel itinerary of your dreams!
