When I am about to visit a destination, I like to watch video content. It has been a while since I have been to Corfu. I kept trying to go, but it keeps falling through. Ignore the several-minutes long plug for a product! That part I know was necessary because they were a sponsor. Once you...

I am planning my next Greek trip. I want to go in October but the people I am traveling with - we won't be able to to go until mid-October. I have been to Crete that late in the year and to Athens, but not anywhere else. On our schedule is to visit some of the smaller islands, like Hydra. Do...

I thought I would make a list of some great places in Greece. Some I've visited, some I'd like to visit. Any recommendations on what I should add to the list? Thanks! 1. Athens: Athens provides the perfect contrast to the beautiful island vibe of Greece. Athens is the capital city of Greece and...

I love the photos I see of people who are wearing that beautiful flowing dress, and the photo is taken with the backdrop of the gorgeous island. I love the photo and want to do one for myself. How can I do this? I heard that it is actually a business? Does anyone have any details?

I have friends who travel to Greece for months at a time and I am thinking about it. However, if I did, I would have to work at least part of the time. I have a full time job and even though I would have plenty of time to see the sites, I do have to tend to my job. Otherwise I would only really...

I will be traveling to Greece this Christmas and I want to make some Christopsomo to give to my family when I go. I have never made it and want to run something by you - do these ingredients look right? It looks very similar to tsoureki to me but with a lot of spices. I am also nervous there's...

I've been to Corfu plenty of times. I am writing down some of my notes so that I can sort out what I want to see next time I visit. I have friends there and might visit again next year... Old Town Corfu - It's a NESCO World Heritage Site and has an impressive collection of Venetian-era...

Oh! Yes - that is so fun. I'll have to look into visiting some of the best gyro and souvlaki spots, as well as some of the best bars. I haven't explored Monastiraki as much as I would like.

Athens is one of my favorite places to visit! It's so rich in history, culture, and even has a spirit of adventure. What I find most impressive are the ruins, museums, and other attractions. I thought I'd give list of my favorite places. What are your favorite places? History If you’re...

I think you are on the right track with this line of thinking! But even in larger islands, like Crete, the island is so big that there are "out of the way" places on that islands alone. Same goes for Athens - there are the touristy areas but there some sections that are more out of the way that...
