The Greek Rollercoaster
In August, the waters of the Mediterranean are rough. The wind seems to be twice as strong than normal. This makes a trip on the Greek ferry an interesting experience. The crew is well prepared for what lies ahead, however, passengers who choose to travel in August are not. Continue reading “The Greek Rollercoaster”
Traditional Naxos
Each Greek island in the Cyclades has its own unique vibe. For Naxos, it is all about tradition. Even during summer you won’t find hordes of tourists like on the popular islands of Mykonos or Santorini. Continue reading “Traditional Naxos”
The Greatest Show on Earth
A Mykonos sunset is a must see event. It is what I call the greatest show on earth. I have never witnessed a more perfect sunset than that of when I visit the Greek Islands. More specifically, Little Venice on the island of Mykonos. Continue reading “The Greatest Show on Earth”
Pirates of Mykonos
The narrow twists and turns of Mykonos’ streets were designed in a way to confuse the pirates who roamed the high seas of the Mediterranean centuries ago. Continue reading “Pirates of Mykonos”
Greek Life
The Greek lifestyle is unique and is what many other countries don’t understand. It may appear as if they are a partying, lazy crowd. But in fact they work very hard to achieve their relaxing, carefree lifestyle. Perhaps the rest of the world should take on some ideas from Greece. Continue reading “Greek Life”
Europe in Australia

Summer in Mykonos
This week is a trip down memory lane to last summer in Mykonos. Not only was the weather perfect, but I visited some of the best beaches with the clearest blue waters. While we have some great beaches in Australia, it is a different world in Greece that should be on everyone’s travel list. Imagine yourself reclining on a beach lounge, sipping your favourite icy cold drink and taking in the electric atmosphere around you. Continue reading “Summer in Mykonos”
Photo of the Month: Stairs to Success
I loved the message on this staircase as soon as I saw it. A perfect photo opportunity as I turned the corner on a narrow, winding cobble stoned street of Chora, Mykonos . It is a subtle, yet inspiring message that rings true. Success comes in many forms and holds different meaning to each individual, whether it be personal, career or family. There is no easy path to achieve your goals. A lot of hard work, perseverance and a belief in your own abilities are critical to achieving your goals.
Photo of the Month: Waves of Mykonos
Mykonos, also known as the island of wind, and last summer was no exception. It was my first trip to Greece and I was imagining perfect weather, golden beaches and warm waters. Well two out of the three were not bad. Mother Nature had decided that she would send strong winds as well. However, it does make for a great photo this month as the waves crash up against the sea wall of Little Venice providing a new perspective to the famous windmills of Mykonos. Watch you step!
