Join both Olga Tzogas of Smugtown Mushrooms and Myrto Daskaloudi of Moons of Aphrodite we we embark on a joy filled time in the gorgeous country of Greece.

Both Olga + Myrto stem from these ancient lands, with traditions still deep in wild food, mushrooms, herbs, plants, myth, folklore and astrology

Together, we will share our passion about the land, culture, traditions and elemental wisdom in the hills, water and air of Greece.

Myrto is an intuitive herbalist, astrologer and tarot reader. Myrto practices spirituality based in Ancient Greek Goddess worship as well. You can read more about her practices here

Doing More with your Trip:

We get to explore and travel freely.  We are allowed to pick our own experiences and return to our homes with the feelings of freedom, relaxation and so much more knowledge in our brains than when we started off. However, there are people who came to Greece not for holiday but in order to survive and reach family in other countries.  Millions of climate and war refugees have traveled by land and sea to flee their homes and ended up, for lack of a better word, stuck in Greece because the EU has closed borders, so camps and centers are beyond capacity. We have partnered with locals who are on the ground, organizing with other citizens and orgs to supply camps, families and refugees with the care and support that is needed. Below is a list of items that are welcomed, we also are planning a special PRE-tour day to go to markets in Thessaloniki and buying items on the list that are easy to buy in Greece than be brought from the States.
