Greece’s impact on the world is immense, from laying the foundations of democracy to inspiring the modern Olympic Games. Today, it’s also one of Europe’s top holiday destinations, drawing nearly 30 million visitors every year. Incredible summer weather, crystal-clear waters, rich history, and countless islands make it a favorite spot. Yet, there are still hidden gems like the Thalatta Seaside Hotel, offering a luxurious escape in a serene natural setting, perfect for families and couples alike. Evia, Greece’s second-largest island, is just a short distance from Athens but remains relatively unknown to tourists. This makes it one of the best…

Naxos is the largest of the Cyclades islands, known for its rich history, amazing beaches, stunning landscapes, charming villages, and vibrant cultural life. Despite growing in popularity among tourists, it remains much quieter than neighboring islands like Santorini and Mykonos. There are plenty of activities to keep you busy, making Naxos feel more authentic and a favorite for many, including myself.

When we got to Santorini, it was the usual busy scene with people shouting about buses, cabs, rental cars, hotels, and tours. We mostly ignored them and hopped on the bus to the capital, sharing a crammed taxi to Perissa, where our hotel was. We had booked an apartment at Sandy Villas online and were impressed by the room quality in Greece once again. The first room they showed us was pretty nice, better than most places we’ve stayed, but we knew to ask for a different one. Hotels often show the less impressive rooms first, saving the best for…

The best time to visit Albania really depends on what you want to do there. For a beach vacation, the best time is…

When our plane landed in Athens, we felt a wave of relief. After spending considerable time in the Middle East, where Islamic culture is predominant, it was refreshing to see pork and alcohol for sale and to not have to cover up.

The square is…
