Some of my most favourite places that I've ever visited have been the little villages of the world, slightly off-the-beaten path, where life continues without too much interference from prying visitors (like, well, myself). So when I visited the Greek island of Rhodes for a few days in summer, I naturally sought out a quiet… Continue reading Archangelos, Rhodes • A slice of the quiet life
Rhodes is a stunner of a city, although considering its location on the little Greek island of Rodos (also known, perhaps confusingly, as Rhodes), its cosmopolitan-ness might come as a bit of a surprise. This is a busy working city, much busier than other Greek island cities like Corfu or Lefkada. But then, this is… Continue reading One Day in Rhodes • Exploring Rhodes Town in a day
Perched on a hilltop above a mishmash of white houses and a stunning turquoise bay, is one of Greece's most brilliant ancient architectural gems.

Keep reading to discover how to get there, where… Continue reading What to Do in Lindos • Discovering Rhodes’ Prettiest Village
The Greek island of Rhodes is a wonderfully pink kind of a place.

Along the roadside and up into the dry hills were pops… Continue reading 3 Days in Rhodes • Solo Travel in Greece

The hodgepodge of whitewashed stone houses and blue-domed churches looks like it's been peeled straight off of a postcard. Moulded into, and out of the cliffside, balancing in layers above the vivid sea and connected by a web of smooth marble footpaths. If you're tempted to just take a few glamorous snaps in front of… Continue reading What to do in Oía • The crown of Santorini
Dazzling sunshine reflects off of whitewashed houses, donkeys clatter up and down winding alleyways, and the seemingly infinite indigo sea twinkles far below. Santorini's capital city may be teeny-weeny (and often completely tourist-swamped, as well as sun-drenched), but it's so very worth exploring, especially in springtime or early autumn. Here are the very best things… Continue reading Fabulous Fira • The Best Things to Do in Fira, Santorini

But whether you're a thrill-seeker in search of the best cliff jumping spot in Santorini, or are simply after a swim and a sun-tan (I fall into the latter group, soz folks), this unique little corner of the island is gorgeous and downright wonderful.… Continue reading Ammoudi Beach • The best cliff jumping spot in Santorini
Almost 300 steps pave the way downhill to a huddle of restaurants, tavernas and fishing boats, nestled around a crescent bay at the foot of the cliffs of Oía.
