I am Maria Christina Papastathi, a hospitality professional and real estate consultant from Greece with more than 20 years of hands-on experience in the day-to-day running of holiday accommodation.
My work covers reservations, marketing, guest communication, housekeeping coordination, financial management, and everything needed to keep a property running smoothly. I also plan improvements to the guest experience, from reviewing services and amenities each year to design decisions and renovation projects. This experience has taught me how to balance practical operations, budgets, and the small details that make guests feel welcome.
On Udemy, I share practical knowledge through clear explanations and approachable lessons. My courses bring together interests in Greek cooking and traditions, hospitality, nutrition, and lifestyle. My educational background includes hotel management, maritime business, accounting and finance, alongside further training in fitness nutrition, pregnancy nutrition and lifestyle, and life coaching.
I know that learning something new can feel overwhelming, especially when you are also managing work and everyday responsibilities. My aim is to make each topic easier to understand, with useful examples and ideas you can put into practice at your own pace.
Whether you want to explore Greek food, build your understanding of a subject, or develop practical skills, I look forward to welcoming you to my courses.
