Lesser known islands to visit on a Greek Island hopping itineraryThere are more than 6,000 islands in Greece, so deciding where to go can be a pretty challenging task. A google search typically brings up the favourites, including Santorini, Mykonos and Crete. What about what the smaller islands? The ones that are just that bit harder to get to? The islands which are almost untouched by mass tourism, offering a slower and more gentle insight into the charm of Greek daily life. You may have read my Greek Island hopping itinerary here, which covers a popular...

We actually got an amazing all-inclusive deal through On The Beach to stay at the Mitsis Village Beach Hotel & Spa in the small resort of Kiotari. I actually visited Rhodes when I was younger but it was Stefan’s first visit. I’ve been obsessed with re-visiting as I could remember Lindos was just a stunning place. Thankfully, it definitely didn’t disappoint. We also hired a car for our week in Rhodes as we really...

Milos travel guide: The most beautiful island in GreeceMilos is an unspoilt and lesser-known Greek island without half the crowds of other places in Greece, and I had been eager to visit for a while. So, we finally went to Milos this summer and it has easily become one of my favourite European destinations. It was the perfect mix of unusual scenery, incredible beaches, charming towns and wonderful food. Whitewashed towns are nestled along the cliffs, each made up of tiny lane ways full of character and history, and brightly coloured bougainvillea...
