Villa Specialist

Daphne Forte

Born and bred on the island of Corfu, I have been in the travel industry all my working life. My first job was on a cruise ship sailing around the Caribbean, which was followed by several years working for a tour operator as a rep on different Greek Islands during the summer and in ski resorts in the winter. I joined CV Villas in 2004 and worked in the Pre-Departures department before joining the sales team. I love our collection of beautiful villas and believe that there is something to suit everyone. I really enjoy chatting to our customers, sharing my knowledge and finding them their perfect villa holiday. There is nothing more satisfying than returning customers dropping you a line to say what a wonderful time they had on their CV Villas holiday.

What is your favourite destination?

I might be biased but my favourite destination has to be Greece and the beautiful islands. Basked in sunshine, this is a country which will supercharge your senses with dramatic scenery, crystal clear waters, some of the best beaches, amazing flora and fauna, ancient history and food glorious food.

Which destination is top of your bucket list and why?

Top of my bucket list is to sail all around the lesser known Cycladic islands, or to go on a road trip around the Peloponnese and northern Greece.

How do you spend your time whilst on holiday?

I like to be very organized when I am on holiday, with a plan for every day. I am very much a beach person - I really enjoy boating, swimming and snorkeling - but I also like to visit historical places of interest and experiencing the local culture and cuisine.

What's your top travel tip?

My top tip would be to hire a boat or go on a boat trip with a skipper. Take a picnic with you and stop off at some of the stunning, and often deserted, beaches that are only accessible by sea.
