Fancy going through all of our past travels? You’ve come to the right place!
Following our numerous trips to Crete, in 2022 we decided to visit another Greek island and settled for Rhodes. Whilst it is much smaller than Crete, we found the island to have various options for visitors- ranging from archaelogical sites, to stunning beaches. This...
During our week-long trip to Rhodes (check out the blog post here), we spent a good part of a day exploring Rhodes Old Town. We parked by the harbour, in one of the free harbour parking lots, and then walked into the Old Town. We entered the old town via the New...
In late 2021, just before Christmas, Wally and I travelled to Hamburg to visit some friends, and tick off another Christmas Market from our list. (Check out our other blog posts about Budapest markets here, or visiting Prague here). We had never been to a Christmas...
Following our 2018 holiday to Crete, a couple of years later in 2020 we decided that we simply must return to this beautiful island. There is just so much to explore in Crete that we didn't get a chance to the first time around, so this time we spent a bit more...
One of the favourite trips we did when staying in Spili in 2020 was visit Loutro for a day. Loutro is a picture-perfect village on the south side of Crete, only accessible by boat and foot. It is definitely a must-visit place on the island and feels a million miles...
For the second part of our trip to Crete in 2020, we decided to stay a short drive away from Spili. Spili is a small town around 30km south of Rethymno, and sits on one of the main roads running from the north to south of the islands. However, it is not a busy town,...
In 2020, on our way from Panormos in the north to Spili located in south, we took a route via Margarites and Moni Arkadi. Not only was the drive incredibly scenic, but the two destinations en route were very much worth stopping by- and we’d recommend the same to any...
Rethymno has a lot to offer- a stunning fortress, beautiful (and delicious) baked goods, incredible architecture and quaint streets covered with flowering bougainvillea... This city is certainly worth visiting, and this post talks about our favourite places- both...
Undoubtedly the most famous gorge in Crete, and most probably one of the most famous in the whole of Europe, the Samaria Gorge is a must-do for those that love hiking, and we would say all visitors to the island in general. Located in the region of Chania, the hike is...
Riad Jemaa ElfnaIn early 2020, before the pandmic engulfed the planet and temporarily put all travel plans on hold, Wally and I were very lucky to escape to Marrakesh. Only a few hours flight from London, Marrakesh was the perfect option for some winter sun, as well...
