Τα μέλη του GDPA επέστρεψαν γεμάτα ενθουσιασμό και πλούσιες αναμνήσεις από ένα αξέχαστο διήμερο στις 28 και 29 Απριλίου 2025 στη πανέμορφη και φιλόξενη Χίο. Το πρώτο fam trip διοργανώθηκε ένα περίπου χρόνο πριν στο νησί και σχεδιάστηκε με στόχο την εξερεύνηση μοναδικών χώρων και τη γνωριμία με τους επαγγελματίες του νησιού, εμβαθύνοντας στην τοπική σκηνή διοργάνωσης εκδηλώσεων. Φέτος, περισσότερα μέλη μας είχαν την ευκαιρία να γνωρίσουν το νησί με μοναδικές εμπειρίες διοργανωμένες άριστα από την συνεργασία και την ζεστή φιλοξενία των:
• Τζοάνα Λουκάκη Weddings – για την έμπνευση και την οργάνωση
• Μαρίνα Πιπίδη / Prestige Events – για την αψεγάδιαστη αισθητική
• Feed the Need Catering – για τις γεύσεις που μας ταξίδεψαν
• Bourtzi Chios – για τη μοναδική ατμόσφαιρα
• Στράτος Καββαδάς – για τις όμορφες εικόνες
• Diamond Productions – για τον άψογο ήχο και φως
• Loukakis Flowers – για την ομορφιά των λουλουδιών
• Manes Pangalos – για τις δημιουργικές ιδέες
• Nelomeci – για τις ξεχωριστές πινελιές
• Bachatouris Filmmaking – για την καταγραφή των στιγμών
• I Do Event Planning Chios – για τη γνώση του νησιού
• Comme Il Faut Chios – για τις κομψές λεπτομέρειες
Η εμπειρία ξεκίνησε με ένα “Mastiha Experience”, όπου οι συμμετέχοντες βυθίστηκαν στον κόσμο της μαστίχας. Επισκέφθηκαν ένα παραδοσιακό χωράφι, μαθαίνοντας για την καλλιέργεια και τη συγκομιδή του μοναδικού αυτού προϊόντος, ενώ δοκίμασαν τοπικές δημιουργίες με βάση τη μαστίχα. Η επίσκεψη στο Μουσείο Μαστίχας προσέφερε μια ολοκληρωμένη εικόνα της ιστορίας και της σημασίας της.
Η πρώτη ημέρα συνεχίστηκε με ένα γεύμα στην παραλία Αγία Δύναμη και μια περιήγηση στα γραφικά Αυγώνυμα και άλλα χωριά, αναδεικνύοντας την αρχιτεκτονική και την ατμόσφαιρα του νησιού. Το βράδυ, στην πόλη της Χίου, έγινε επίσκεψη σε καταστήματα με δυνατότητα φιλοξενίας εκδηλώσεων, ενώ η ημέρα ολοκληρώθηκε με ένα δείπνο σε μια εξαιρετική τοποθεσία στο λιμάνι.
Η δεύτερη ημέρα ήταν αφιερωμένη στην εξερεύνηση των ξενοδοχειακών υποδομών, με επισκέψεις στα Pearl Island και Chardis. Ακολούθησε περιήγηση στα αρχοντικά του Κάμπου και γεύμα στο αρχοντικό Αργέντικο. Το διήμερο έκλεισε με μια συνέντευξη τύπου στο ξενοδοχείο Grecian Castle.
Αυτό το fam trip αποτέλεσε μια ευκαιρία για τα μέλη του GDPA να ανακαλύψουν τις δυνατότητες της Χίου, να δικτυωθούν και να ενισχύσουν τις επαγγελματικές τους σχέσεις. Οι εμπειρίες και οι επαφές που αποκτήθηκαν αναμένεται να συμβάλουν στις μελλοντικές διοργανώσεις. Και όπως χαρακτηριστικά ακούστηκε αρκετές φορές κατά τη διάρκεια του ταξιδιού, “Ελωλαθήκαμε!” με την ομορφιά και τη φιλοξενία της Χίου. Ένα νησί που αποδεικνύει περίτρανα πως, “Ποια Τοσκάνη?”, όταν έχεις τέτοια μαγευτικά τοπία και αυθεντικές εμπειρίες στην Ελλάδα!
Το GDPA ανανεώνει το ραντεβού του για επόμενες δράσεις και ευχαριστεί θερμά όλους όσοι συμμετείχαν στο επιτυχημένο αυτό ταξίδι! Ένα μεγάλο ευχαριστώ από καρδιάς σε όλη την ομάδα οργάνωσης και τους τοπικούς φορείς.
💃🏻🪩 When the sun sets, Greece turns celebration into an experience. Neon lights, music that carries into the night, tables that turn into dance floors, and guests who never want the party to end.

✨ At the heart of a Jewish wedding stands the Chuppah, a beautifully adorned canopy symbolizing the couple’s new home.
Open on all sides, it represents warmth, hospitality, and the embrace of loved ones as the couple begins their life together.
Both sacred and intimate, the Chuppah becomes the space where vows are exchanged and tradition comes alive, reflecting the spiritual depth and cultural heritage of Jewish marriage rituals.
💙 Greece offers a timeless, welcoming backdrop where cultural heritage is honoured with care.
