Max & Jacquie

Nice to meet you

HELLO, WE'RE MAX AND JACQUIE

We're Jacquie and Max, a recently retired couple from the UK with a love of travel and discovering hidden gems. Greece has captured our hearts, particularly the beautiful Peloponnese, with its laid-back seaside villages, stunning beaches and warm Greek hospitality. We keep coming back for the sunshine, the people and that wonderful Greek way of life.

Through Just Stay Away and Flip Flop Flicks, we hope to inspire you to explore beyond the obvious, discover somewhere new and perhaps fall in love with Greece just as we have.
