Ivy is a certified wedding planner, so she knows all the beautiful places. She’s also a diversity consultant. 

Everyone’s heard of Athens and you’ve most likely seen the sparkling white facades of Santorini’s cube-like buildings. But there’s a lot more to Greece than gyros and the Parthenon.


On the LIVE Without Borders podcast, Ivy Summer is taking us off the beaten path.

She is an American who moved from San Francisco with her husband, who is of Greek heritage. Because he was baptized in Greece, they were able to start the citizenship process together because they are part of the family line.

Now they are living the nomad/expat living in Veria, Greece, an ancient city famously important to the family of Alexander the Great, and home to the best peach pie in Greece. 

So if you love pie and ancient history, Veria is for you. We’ll also be talking about the best things to eat drink and do in the nearest big city, Thessaloniki, the best way to island hop, and the most romantic part of Greece that you probably haven’t heard of. Ivy’s been in the wedding industry for more than a decade, so she knows how to create dream experiences.
