Greece - Athens, Santorini, Mykonos & More
While it may not have the grandeur of Paris or Rome, it really is a gem. The first time we went, we stayed at a little boutique hotel in Psyrri. We only had two full days, so we did the sightseeing hop-on hop-off tour to take in the ancient (and not so ancient) sights of this incredible city.
The view from the Acropolis was stunning (I’d recommend getting there early to beat the cruise ship crowds, as the sun is rising). The shops of Monastiraki are worth a look with a mixture of tourist tack and wonderful antique shops. Plaka’s small cobbled streets are so pretty.
There's so many rooftop bars (I had about 10 on my shortlist) and so so many restaurants (one highlight was Lithos, delicious authentic Greek cooking). I’d certainly recommend visiting outside of the hot mid-summer months, though.
From the Game of Thrones vibes of the UNESCO-listed Rhodes Old Town to catamaran tours around Santorini and sipping on cocktails in Little Venice in Mykonos, I don’t think I’ll ever get bored of visiting Greece (or talking about it!)
I’ve seen Santorini from cruise ships but one of the best travel decisions I’ve ever made though is to spend a full week on Santorini a couple of years ago, we really got under the skin of the place and it’s a beautiful island despite the crowds. But only a short ferry ride away you’ll find lesser visited spots like Folegandros and Sifnos.
From Milos to Hydra, Crete to Corfu, there are so many islands to explore, drop me a line and let’s find the perfect one for you.
