Hey fellow adventurers!

I'm reminiscing about my first visit to London back in the summer of 2010, and I can't help but share the excitement. London, with its unique blend of history and modern vibes, captured my heart from the moment I landed.

My initial stop was the iconic Tower Bridge – an absolute marvel. Picture me standing there, feeling like a character in a classic movie as the bridge lifted for passing ships. That surreal moment set the tone for an unforgettable trip. The British Museum was another highlight. I lost track of time exploring its vast halls, marveling at treasures like the Rosetta Stone and Egyptian mummies. History truly came alive!

Now, let me rave about a hidden gem in Covent Garden – The Lamb & Flag. This quintessential British pub became my go-to spot, offering a cozy atmosphere and delicious grub. I stumbled upon it while exploring the charming streets and ended up making lifelong friends over pints and the best fish and chips I've ever had.

London, for me, was a mix of iconic landmarks and unexpected discoveries. From the grandeur of Buckingham Palace to the artsy vibes of Shoreditch, every corner had a story to tell. What did I like the most? It's hard to pinpoint one thing, but the fusion of tradition and trendiness stole my heart. London, with its rich history and vibrant energy, is a city that I fondly revisit in my memories.

What does this have to do with traveling to Greece?
 

Has anyone visited Delphi?

I’m planning a trip to Delphi and would love some advice from anyone who has been there. I’m particularly excited to see the archaeological site and the famous Temple of Apollo, but I’d also like to know if there are any hidden gems nearby worth exploring.

Do you have recommendations for the best times to visit to avoid crowds? Are there local guides you’d suggest? Also, I’m curious about nearby restaurants or cafes that serve authentic Greek food.

Any tips on where to stay in the area or how much time to set aside for a visit would be fantastic too. Thanks in advance!

Best Greek Beaches for First Time Visitors?

I'm basically asking for a friend — it's been decades since I was a first-time visitor to Greece, so I don’t really remember what that fresh, wide-eyed perspective feels like anymore. I’m definitely biased when it comes to Greek beaches… Elafonissi in Crete is hands-down my favorite, and of course I already told my friend to put it on their list.

But I figured I’d ask you all: what are the best beaches in Greece for someone visiting for the first time?

They’re looking for something beautiful, memorable, and not too hard to get to. Bonus points for spots with nearby tavernas or charming villages. I’d love to pass along some of your suggestions so they can make the most of their trip.

So — what beaches made you fall in love with Greece the first time you went?

Easter in Greece

I would love to spend next Orthodox Easter In Greece. I am curious if anyone who has traveled to Greece over Easter has recommendations as to where to specifically spend the holiday . I’ve been researching and the celebrations look fabulous all over!! Suggestions??♥thank you in advance

Tips for Visiting the Dodecanese Islands

Hi everyone! I’m planning a trip to the Dodecanese Islands and could use some advice on which islands to prioritize. There are so many to choose from—Rhodes, Kos, Symi, Patmos, Karpathos, Astypalaia, and more—but I won’t have time to see them all.

I love a mix of history, beautiful beaches, authentic Greek food, and charming villages. I’d love to visit at least one island with a lively atmosphere and another that’s more off-the-beaten-path. If you’ve been, which ones stood out to you the most?

Also, any general tips for visiting the Dodecanese? Is island-hopping easy between them? Are there ferry routes that work well for multiple stops, or would it be better to focus on just 1–2 islands?

More Museums in Athens?

Our family visits Athens almost every year, and we love exploring its amazing museums. Last year, we had a great time at the Acropolis Museum and the National Archaeological Museum. This year, we’re heading back in early spring for a family event and are looking for new museums to visit.

We’d love to find places that might be more focused on art or something unique that would appeal to all ages. Any recommendations for must-see museums or hidden gems in Athens? Bonus points for something interactive or family-friendly!

We’re always excited to hear about places we haven’t been yet. Let me know your favorites—thanks in advance!
