Mykonos Nights -Theoxenia Hotel

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 […]

Postcards from Paros-Last Days of Summer.

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 […]

Secret Santorini- Oia.

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 […]

The Most Idyllic Greek Isle- Folegandros, The Cyclades.

Greek Island Hopping. ‘The water sparkles over here’ This little island is how I imagine Greece to be, old Greece from the pictures of a blue, blue sky, a church and perhaps a goat, nothing else but space and a view, yes that photograph, that is what we are talking about.  So in ‘Mary Poppins’ […]

Island Life, Isla Holbox.

Four Splendid Sunsets After just one afternoon at Casa Las Tortugas we happily got into the flow of Island life. It is amazing how quickly you create little rituals that become habits, as if you were at home, but all credit to Gianni and Greta for creating that home from home feeling, even if we […]
