I can eat my beloved BigMac, without immediately having to learn about the country’s culture and food. It is convenient for me after a long and tiring day of traveling. However, upon landing in Greece, I […]

  • Explore Neapoli in Greece

    Explore Neapoli in Greece

    This summer, I discovered the most underrated Greek town. Neapoli Voion, or simply Neapoli or Vatika. This small town is located in the South of the least famous “leg” of the Peloponnese peninsula. The one with terrible roads and very few tourists. If people know Neapoli, it is because the ferries to Kythira depart from […]

  • Travel in Greece during your period

    Travel in Greece during your period

    We, women, are never celebrating when it is that time of the month again. But when traveling, our periods become even less wanted. At home, you can curl up underneath a blanket, use heated pads, and eat chocolate until the worst part is over. But in Greece, you often don’t want to lose a day […]

  • Explore Xanthi. In the North of Greece

    Explore Xanthi. In the North of Greece

    The day I heard my Greek boyfriend is from North-West Greece, I felt a bit sad. Why didn’t I find a guy from Crete, Kefalonia, or Mykonos? How am I supposed to enjoy my summers, spending an entire month in Xanthi? The only place in Greece that can have months of rain. And just 60.000 […]
