    • The hidden beaches of Kardamyli

      The hidden beaches of Kardamyli

      Kardamilli is an idyllic mountain village, with traditional stone houses and narrow streets. However, Kardamilli is not on a mountain. Instead, it is surrounded by many of them, but situated next to the sea. This special village was the movie set from “Before Midnight” and is in reality as romantic as the movie. But what […]

    • What are the top eco-tourism experiences in Greece?

      What are the top eco-tourism experiences in Greece?

      Holidays are not necessarily unsustainable. However, the way that many people choose to celebrate holidays and take vacations can be so. For example, travel to distant locations often requires the use of fossil fuels, which can contribute to climate change. In addition, many people consume more resources and generate more waste during holidays and vacations. […]

    • 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 […]

    • 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 […]

    • Is Greece expensive?

      Is Greece expensive?

      There are quite a lot of travel influencers who claim to give you all the information you need to travel to Greece. However, since they are not Greek, don’t know any Greeks nor Greek, and only visit the most touristic places in Greece, their guides often don’t really represent the true Greek experience. One of […]

      Travel guide to Lemnos, Greece

      Lemnos, or Limnos, is an island in the Aegean Sea, in the northeast of Greece. With just 476 square kilometers of land, it is not very big but enough to make one of the most surprising islands in the North of Greece. From a small desert to a giant salt lake, from the biggest castle […]

    • Time to walk on water! Agios Nikolaos on Lemnos

      Time to walk on water! Agios Nikolaos on Lemnos

      Opposite of fanaraki beach, in the middle of the island of Lemnos is a sea so enclosed by land that is characterized more like a lake. In the middle of this shallow calm water lies a little island with on top a small white church. How much Greeker can it get? And even better, you […]

    • The desert of Greece

      The desert of Greece

      In Lemnos, an island in the Northeast of Greece there is a place that makes you doubt if you got on the right plane for your holiday. I’m talking about the Dunes of Bartholomew, a landscape where yellow sand covers everything and vegetation is minimal. Just like the Sahara, just slightly smaller. The desert contains […]

      Souli watermills

      Along a small river that ends up in the gate to the underworld, between green mountains with thousands of years old trees, there is an abandoned old watermill. The Souli watermills are in a truly magical place. And although they are not on the list of must-visits in Greece, they are perfect for everyone who […]
