What MbaGreece has prepared for you are luxurious, ten-day trips through the Greek islands that will blow away you and your classmates. Forget about the tourist routes, overcrowded restaurants, and cheesy tourist bars, and prepare yourselves for traveling through Greece like cool natives who know how not to be cheated out of their experience. You will stay at top-quality hotels, visit the Acropolis, dine at one of the best restaurants of Athens, go to the trendiest bars in Mykonos, relax in Samos, and visit the VIP hideaway island of Patmos.

I won't list all the fascinating details that I have compiled through an entire winter of planning how to show MBAs the best of Greece. You can find those details on other parts of the site. But I urge you to keep reading through this intro: by the end of the prologue and the slide show, you'll know if this is the right trip for you. And if it is, surf through the rest of the site, sign-up, and get ready for something very special.

A few words about the motivation for MbaGreece: after spending numerous 3-month summer breaks on Greek island beaches, nightclubs, and beach bars, I realized it would only be too selfish of me to keep this joy all to myself. Imagine you are lying on a Mykonos or Patmos beach only caring about whether you should make the effort to get up from your sun bed to get another water-melon daiquiri (the cooler alternative to Corona) or that amazing spinach pie. With this thought on my mind, I embarked on creating MbaGreece to show other MBAs the bright side of life. Through a lifetime on the Greek islands, helping my family run Petra Hotel, one of the leading small hotels in all of Greece, I learned exactly what to do and what not to do in order to create the ultimate Greek island experience. It's a privilege to share this experience with you through the MbaGreece trips this summer.

My four years at Brandeis University, three years with a Boston economic consulting firm, and two years at Stanford Business School almost tricked me into believing that life is better when you are working all the time and are getting satisfaction out of your achievements. That's a complete lie--life is better on the Greek islands! Join the trip with your classmates and let me show you why.

If you do, I promise you the experience of a lifetime.
