🇬🇷

A day trip to this beautiful village just wasn’t enough! If you ever get the chance to visit, stay a night or two 🩵

I left Greece… but I’m pretty sure a piece of me stayed behind. 🇬🇷💙

The islands. The food. The endless ferry trips. The beautiful harbours. The sunsets. The long days exploring, swimming in the Aegean sea and discovering somewhere new.

After almost three weeks island hopping through Greece, I was definitely ready for my own bed and a few home comforts. But now that I’m home, unpacked and back to normal life, I’m already missing it!

Greece has a funny way of doing that to me. No matter how many times I visit, there’s always another island to discover, another little taverna I wish I could go back to, and another reason to start thinking about the next trip.

Although next time… I think I’ll be travelling a little slower. Fewer ferries, longer stays and a touch more luxury might be the way forward. 😂🇬🇷

✨ Six weeks. Three countries. Countless memories....

From the streets of Paris and the waterways of Belgium, to island-hopping my way through Greece 🇫🇷🇧🇪🇬🇷

There were beautiful hotels, questionable bathrooms, out of service buses, too many ferries, incredible meals, spectacular beaches, new islands, old favourites and so many moments that reminded me why I love travel so much.

Not every destination was what I expected and some were far more amazing than I'd anticipated. That’s the beauty of travelling, you never know what to expect.

This trip reminded me that I’m ready to travel a little differently these days. Slower, more comfortably, fewer stops and more time to really enjoy where I am.

I found moving every few days when in Greece pretty exhausting, but I was on a mission to get to my 30th island! 😊

Next time I'll slow down and spend more time in only a few destinations....

After six weeks of incredible travel, I’ve come home with hundreds of photos, videos, plenty of stories and even more first-hand travel knowledge to share.

Because you can research a destination endlessly, but there’s nothing like actually experiencing it yourself.

And yes… Greece is still my favourite destination 🇬🇷💙

Over the coming days/weeks I'll be doing features on some of the places I visited.

Maybe you would like to visit these destinations yourself one day? If so, reach out. I have a wealth of knowledge I can share....

I only had the opportunity to visit Ikaria for one night due to ferry schedules, but would love to return one day to explore the island.

You don’t get the flat, dry, manicured landscape of the Cyclades. Ikaria is rugged, mountainous and wild, with deep valleys, streams, forests and some spectacular beaches tucked between cliffs.

According to Greek mythology, Icarus and his father Daedalus escaped Crete by flying with wings made from feathers and wax. Daedalus warned his son not to fly too high. Naturally, Icarus ignored him.

He flew closer and closer to the sun, the wax melted, and he plunged into the sea.
The legend says he fell into the sea around Ikaria, which is why both the island and the surrounding Icarian Sea bear his name. There is even a monument and summer amphitheatre near the supposed location of his fall.

Ikaria is also one of the world’s recognised Blue Zones, places noted for unusually high longevity.
Traditionally, Ikarians:

* walk a lot because their villages are so mountainous
* eat plenty of vegetables, beans, herbs and olive oil
* eat modest amounts of meat
* eat goat and fish
* drink incredible local w**e
* spend enormous amounts of time with family and friends
* remain socially connected as they age
* tend their gardens and animals
* take afternoon naps
* continue being socially active well into old age.

After seeing the island myself I can see why there’s so many Centenarians. It really is so steep - people’s homes are on terraced mountain sides where they garden.
I even saw an elderly woman jog past me, up a hill!

What an amazing place….!

🇬🇷 Greece isn’t just a place. It’s a feeling…..

The light, the sea, the food, the people, the hospitality and the peace….

This is my fifth time to Greece and it definitely won’t be my last. It’s the country I feel most at home in, when I’m not at home.

Have you been to Greece yet? Where is your favourite place? I can’t possibly pick a favourite. Every place is unique and has its own special charm!

Confession time... I think I have a trip-planning obsession. 😂

The moment I decide where I’m going, the planning begins….
Out comes the spreadsheet, and not just a simple one. It includes flights, ferries, accommodation, maps, booking links, confirmation numbers, costs and every little detail I can think of. Then the months of tweaking starts.

I’ll change hotels because I found a better view, a better location or a better deal. I’ll shuffle dates because a ferry timetable changed or I’ve decided to add another destination. That’s why I almost always book accommodation with free cancellation. I know there’s a very good chance I’ll change my mind before I leave!

And don’t get me started on flights...
I’m a window-seat girl, and I’ll keep checking the seat map right up until online check-in opens, hoping the middle seat beside me is still empty. If not, I’ll often move to another row and try my luck there. Does it always work? No. Do I still do it every single trip? Absolutely!

Some people probably think this sounds exhausting. For me it’s all part of the adventure and feeling like I’m already immersed in the trip, long before I leave. Planning gives me confidence that everything will run smoothly, and I genuinely enjoy every minute of it. So far, it’s panned out well. All my solo travels - even 3 months in Europe in 2023 - ran seamlessly without a single issue!

So tell me...
Are you a fellow planner, or do you book a flight and just wing it? ✈️

🇬🇷 The countdown is on!

This August/September, I’m spending three weeks island hopping through the beautiful Dodecanese - exploring Patmos, Leros, Kalymnos, Kos, Symi and Rhodes, plus a few smaller islands along the way.

I’ll be sharing ferry journeys, accommodation, hidden gems, beaches, day trips and plenty of travel inspiration as the adventure unfolds.

If Greece is on your travel wish list, I’d love you to come along for the journey.

Now here’s the kind of travel news we love to hear 👏🇬🇷

The Aussie Dollar has hit an 18-month high against the Euro, and it’s the strongest it’s been against the British Pound in almost 3 years! 💶💷

That means your Greece holiday money could stretch a little further this summer ✨

Right now, $2,000 AUD could get you around €98 more than last year’s average exchange rate. And in Greece, that extra could mean:

⛴️ Ferry tickets between the islands
🏖️ Beach club sunbeds in Mykonos
🍷 Seafood dinners with sunset views in Santorini
🚤 A boat cruise around Milos or Antiparos
🥙 Plenty of souvlakis, gelato and bakery stops along the way

If Greece is on your bucket list for 2026, this might be the sign to start planning 🇬🇷✨

My next Greek Island Adventure 🩵

I’ve wanted to really explore the Dodecanese islands of Greece for many years - the south eastern islands close to Turkey have authentic, less touristy islands than the Cyclades, less Meltemi wind in Summer and warmer temperatures once Autumn arrives.

I will start in the Cyclades in one of my favourite islands - Syros. Then embark on a 5 hr slow ferry to the Dodecanese (Bluestar slow ferries are my favourite way to travel the Greek islands).

Follow along as I island hop over 2.5 weeks in this beautiful region! 🇬🇷
