Who We Are

Welcome to our world of Becoming Greek! We're Rett & Katina, a dynamic duo passionate about sharing the beauty and richness of Greece with the world. Katina, with her Greek-American roots, brings a deep understanding of her homeland's cultures and traditions, while Rett, an American filmmaker, was captivated by Greece's captivating history, food, landscapes and untold stories. We moved to Crete in 2023. What began as a search to reconnect with Katina’s roots has become a shared journey to explore the spirit of Greece through its food, people, and philosophy.

What We’re Doing

Through our YouTube series Becoming Greek, we travel across Greece — from mountain villages to seaside towns, bustling cities to remote islands — to uncover what makes each place so special and unique. We’re not just chasing beautiful views; we’re telling the stories behind them. Each episode dives into the heart of a place — its people, its culture, its geography, its architecture, and of course, its food. Whether we’re learning how cheese is made in the hills of Crete, exploring centuries-old customs in the Dodecanese, or dining in a kitchen where Cretan and Mexican flavors collide, we bring viewers into the soul of Greece, one story at a time.

Becoming Greek is about more than travel — it’s about connection, discovery, and celebrating what makes Greece feel like home.
