🌍 Wanderlust Wednesday ✨

Today, let’s journey to one of Athens’ most underrated gems—the Temple of Hephaestus 🏛️. Nestled in the heart of the ancient Agora, this magnificent structure has stood the test of time for nearly 2,500 years!

Dedicated to Hephaestus, the god of craftsmanship and fire, this temple is one of the best-preserved in Greece, showcasing stunning Doric architecture and intricate details that transport you back to the golden age of Athens.

📍 Where? Located in the ancient Agora of Athens, just a short walk from Monastiraki.

🌿 Tip from Greece! 🇬🇷 ✈️

When in Greece, embrace the Mediterranean way of eating to keep your travels light, fresh, and healthy! 🌱✨

These foods will keep you energized and feeling your best as you explore the beauty of the islands and ancient ruins!

Don’t forget to stay hydrated with lots of water 💧 and take a break with a refreshing cup of Greek mountain tea 🌿—known for its natural health benefits!

to the beautiful island of Milos, Greece! While exploring the main town of Plaka, we came across this stunning view at The Venetian Castle of Milos, also known as Kastro. It is a hilltop attraction in Plaka, Greece that offers panoramic views of the island and the Aegean Sea. Plaka is also known for its picturesque architecture, narrow alleys, and views of the sunset. The name Plaka translates to “flat stone” because the town was built on a flat piece of land.
