As the nights draw in and we feel the first real chill in the air, Summer can seem like a distant memory. If you read my last post you will know my feelings on saying goodbye to the Summer. These dark and cosy nights in, just have me scrolling through the latest issue of Conde […]
I can sometimes find the ‘Autumns’ and ‘Springs’ a bit of an interlude to the big events (seasons) of the year….I confess I am a complete summer chick right to the bones, meaning that I am prone to seasonal blues, well until the Christmas seasons rocks up all twinkly, warm and inviting! I like […]
Our flight home from our lovely week in the Cyclades was booked from Mykonos airport, so just to be safe, as the boats can sometimes be a little un reliable, we left Paros the day before. To be honest, the very crowded and busy Mykonos Port, made the calm and serene Paros island seem […]
We hopped back on a quad bike and decided to to spend our final day in Paros, beach hopping and taking in as much of the island as we could. The only change was we decided to head west and take the route towards Alyki. So after a morning of shopping (of course) and picking […]
Beach, Book, Swim……Repeat If you were in your late teens and early twenties in the latter part of the 90’s you would have most definitely booked a holiday via Teletext!!

Blue, white and pink….

Island dreaming in our perfect Greek Abode If I were to dream up the most perfect place to stay on a Greek island, a charming, traditional simple home, all set inside a white cubic idyllic setting, with a white washed balcony to sit back and watch the sun set, would come to mind. However, it […]
Light, calm, beautiful. The Greek Islands have always been a bit of a special place for us, we have so many wonderful memories of our trips over the years to where the water is bluest and the paths the windiest and the feta the tastiest….So when we decided it was time to return to this […]
A feast for the eyes….. So feeling the holiday blues a little after our beautiful time hopping between the Greek islands of Paros and Mykonos, I could have quite happily stayed another few weeks visiting other islands. It is hard to believe it was a week ago we were watching sunsets in Mykonos, quad biking […]
True Blue…. I have always wanted to go to Santorini, but most of all Oia in Santorini. Famous for the beautiful blue and white domes, sunsets and the tiny entwining cobbled streets all perched upon the tip of a volcanic island, Oia is an incredible place to see. Thus making it the reason for […]
