Fassoli Beach….A secluded beach facing out on the Aegean Sea….
Santorini, Mykonos, Corfu, just to name a few, are the “usual suspects” when one thinks holidaying in the Greek isles. But my favourite little rock in the Aegean Sea is a special place that remains undiscovered and definitely holds the accolade of “little gem” of the Greek islands. Read more

Before going to Athens, I wrote that my “mission” would have been to investigate how Balkan is Athens and now I can say that I found a lot of Balkan vibes in Athens indeed. Food markets, bazaars, kiosks, shoe-shine men and vendors on the streets… you will spot the Balkan side of Athens just strolling around the city centre; for a further investigation, you can attend a live music concert, look for the Ottoman architectural heritage or eat at one of the many street food kiosks, where you will find the best Balkan recipes and –it goes without saying- the ubiquitous meat.

Athens is a motley town: each neighborhood has its own characteristic traits and atmosphere, a distinctive soul you can breath with a simple walk across its’ streets. Downtown Athens can be easily explored by walk, strolling from one district to another in less than few hours, leaving you the time to jump on a train or a bus and head to a suburban area. I really liked Athens’ suburbs and I was amazed by that fact that it didn’t take me long to get there: in fact, Athens public transport is really well-structured, which allowed me to explore so many areas of Athens in just one week, with an efficiency that could not have been possible in –let’s say- Rome.

Monemvasia castle is a hidden gem and yet unknown for destination weddings. Nevertheless couples have started to discover the place and held their weddings into the castle. This is a Greek Orthodox wedding, which held inside the castle at Elkomenos church and followed by a wedding reception in a traditional built hotel under the castle and overlooking the water.
Monemvasia is a truly amazing destination to get married and has still has a lot to offer. Enjoy this Monemvasia wedding which was followed by a traditional Greek glenti (celebration). Monemvasia is the ideal romantic place to get married …..imagine walking down the isle into a real vivid castle.
From the very heart of the Mediterranean basin, Greek cuisine is made up of a wide variety of dishes mirroring the long history, the variegated landscape and the crossroads’ nature of this country. From my personal experience in Athens Greek cuisine is full of meat (it was literally everywhere!) as traditional fish dishes are more likely to be found on the islands, vegetables and tasty savory pies (tyropita –the one with cheese- and spanakopita –filled with spinach- a.k.a. the Greek version on my beloved Balkan burek). Wandering around downtown Athens you will find plenty of nice restaurants, taverns and cafés: here is a selection of my favourite ones!
Καλή σας όρεξη!
Enjoy your meal!
