I never thought this would happen….but from the prices I’ve been searching for this summer it seems to make more sense to fly to these islands instead of taking the ferry. Nor only that, flying is much faster and they offer free snacks on board. When you book your transit please don’t jump to...

I don't know if you've been paying attention to the news lately, but airports are super busy and understaffed. Especially in Canada.

I can't believe this even exists! But I'm so glad it does. This website offers vacation packages that are based on Greek mythology. If you've always wanted to go to famous places in Greek mythology, you definitely need to look into this. I've only been to a few locations on this list, but I...

Agreed, I definitely don't recommend biking in the city to get around.

Nice that you are going to Greece in September, it is so beautiful during that time.

I love these favors, they are so unique!! Beautiful theme of olives as well. Is straciatella like the Italian cheese? Or are you referring to something else?
