Dana Facaros embarked on her journey in 1977 at the age of 19 to craft the inaugural comprehensive guide to the Greek islands—an opportunity largely influenced by her paternal roots traced back to Ikaria. Her initial guide, titled "Greek Island Hopping," served as a travel essential for many adventurers in bygone eras. Subsequently reimagined into nine editions for the Cadogan guide series, this app draws upon her wealth of knowledge and experience accumulated over the years. With numerous articles published in newspapers and magazines focusing on the Greek islands along with authoring or co-authoring more than 40 guidebooks, including the recent Bradt Guide to Northern Greece, Dana Facaros continues to be a prominent figure in Greek travel literature.
