Raw Earth. Holistic Skin. Vibrant Culture.
Greek Bouyourdi. AKA oven-baked feta cheese. Yup. It’s pretty much the best thing since sliced bread.* This delicious and super easy 10 step appetizer or side dish is mouth-watering and is as authentic as you could get for Greek food. It is pretty much on every menu in Greece and you really can’t go wrong wherever you get it.
Loutraki. The cove. The music. The drinks. The vibe. Enough said. Loutraki is seriously my most favorite place on the island of Crete, Greece. I actually stalled on sharing this place with all of you for quite a long time – eek! – just because I was afraid to share it with the world. But how can I be
Boating in Crete, Greece is the best boating expierence I’ve had so far.
SUMMER IS HERE and so is your locals guide for beaches in Greece! Whether you love hiking, camping, wine tasting, bike riding, boating, snorkeling or scuba diving, we can all agree on one thing: hitting the beach in Greece is what summer is all about! And when you think of the Greek Islands, Mediterranean beaches are pretty much the
Hot, sunny days. Iced freddo cappuccinos. People watching all day and refreshing dips in the Mediterranean. I mean, can you blame me? That’s what summer in Greece is all about! Espeically in Paleochora. Welcome to Paleochora! A hidden village off the south coast of Crete full of shops, tavernas, bars, camping, tide pools, coves & beaches. It feels different
It has been a very chilly winter here on the Island of Crete – the coldest it’s been in over 10 years with record-breaking snowfall! I have to say, it really is wonderful to see all the snow; but on these very cold days I can’t help but dream about summer… toes in the warm sand, swimming in the vast turquoise sea and soaking
I’d have to say that the mother of all Farmers Markets lies right here, in the Greek Islands. Out of all the ones I’ve been to, at least. And that’s saying quite a bit, because we have some pretty awesome Farmers Markets back in the States. The greatest thing about these outdoor specialty markets, to me, is the fact that
UPDATED POST 2021 It’s that time of year again! Rain clouds, hot cocoa, cozy sweaters and of course, the holidays! Fall is my most favorite time of year and I couldn’t help but get lost in the cobwebs and spooky horror flicks; but since Halloween just passed, I knew I had to stop my holiday madness (at least for a little bit) and give you guys
Rethymno. The beautiful ancient Venetian city located along the northern coast of Crete, Greece. A close resemblance to the Venetian Harbor in Chania, Rethymno has numerous restaurants, cafes, shops, bars and hotels. It is the third largest city on Crete; however, it doesn’t feel like a large city due to many quaint alley streets flourishing with romantic charm. You can find long
It has been a wonderful summer, but like all good things, it must sadly come to an end. Until next year of course. And while I sit back and reflect on all of the amazing memories, there is one in specific that tops them all: A journey to Greek hospitality. It was just another day exploring Crete with my
