Why should you choose the Peloponnese peninsula over island hopping in Greece? 🇬🇷
.
1️⃣ You can drive there.. so easy. The Peloponnese starts on one hour from Athens. So rent a car 🚗 in Athens and no other ferry 🚢 or flight ✈️ needed.
.
2️⃣ The Peloponnese basically has everything that all islands combined have. Cute towns, amazing shopping, amongst the best beaches of Greece, mountains ⛰️, castles 🏰, a ton of archeological sites from Ancient Greece… you name it.
.
3️⃣ The food. 🍲 If you read bullet 2 you understand that this area produces most things themselves. Which always makes for the best food experience. Ever heard of Kalamata olives 🫒? Surprise surprise, that’s on the Peloponnese.
.
4️⃣ Prices. Not every place in the Peloponnese is crazy budget friendly but even in the more expensive places you get SO MUCH MORE value for money than in the Cyclades. And because it is basically ‘the mainland’ it is in fact cheaper in general than most islands. 🤗
.
5️⃣ The weather ☀️. The Peloponnese has one of the best climates in Europe. In the south it stays quite ‘warm’ even in winter. So in shoulder season it is pleasurable without the winds of the Cyclades. That is actually the perfect time to visit the archeological sites. You can also make it a winter ❄️ trip and discover the mountain villages when it snows, or even go skiing.
.
There’s endless things to see and you can easily fill a 3-4 week road trip!

Mani architecture 🏰💙
.
I love the stone & towers & tower houses in Mani, on the Peloponnese in Greece. Every region in Greece 🇬🇷 has its own architectural style and it is not only white/blue houses!

A miracle by Mother Nature 🥹🌱
.
These 15km long caves are the most beautiful I have ever been to! I went as a kid but so glad I re-visited cause WOW 🤩.
.
For €17 you can take 30-minute tour through the caves of which 20 minutes is by wooden boat 🚤, with a guide rowing it, and 10 minutes is a walk 🚶🏼. Live vests are provided.
.
The sights are straight out of a fairytale, I can not say otherwise. For people with claustrophobia there’s a beach 🏝️ nearby with stunning waters! The whole area (Mani) is definitely in my top 5 favorite destinations in Greece so go check it out 😊.

The baths of Aphrodite / Venus ✨
.
If I was Aphrodite I would definitely also bath 🛁 here haha. But the actual story is, that this goddess was born in the waters of this amazing island 😍. And therefore this place takes her name.
.
The most picture perfect place to spend a morning or afternoon while sipping on a coffee ☕️. Or have delicious dinner at @psomoladea_mediterranean_food. The water is crystal clear and there’s quite some fish 🐟 and crabs 🦀 to be spotted, maybe even more 🥹.

📍Avlemonas, Kythira island, Greece

Is this the most beautiful villa in Greece? 🤩💙🇬🇷
.
I had the HONOR of staying in one of the 2 AMAZING villas of the property of Mr. Bliss on Kythira island the past few days 🥹.
.
The 22-meter long infinity pool is situated directly above Kaladi beach 🏝️, arguably the most beautiful beach of the island. But it looks out on Limni and Paleopoli beach, and all the way to Avlemonas (great for brunch, dinner and drinks and just a 10-min drive away). 😊
.
Mr. Bliss (@mister.bliss.kythira) is so aesthetically pleasing and not surprisingly designed and built by an architect 😉, one of the two owners, a lovely Dutch couple.
.
There are two villas that both have 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, a huge living/kitchen space and outdoor terrace and kitchen. 🔪 The pool is shared amongst the 2 villas.
.
May I say I LOVE Kythira and this place is an absolute STEAL? 💙 The island has so little tourists and is so beautiful and peaceful and this place is only a fraction of the price youd pay for such a villa. It is the most beautiful house I’ve ever stayed in.
.
You can book it via booking.com or directly via birgit.giling.groot @ gmail . com

Half of Milos island in Greece 🏝️🇬🇷 is only accessible by 4x4 or ATV… so relatively little people show it on social media. And regardless on the accessibility, we mostly see the cute villages and Sarakiniko beach and not the interesting volcanic activities 🌋🌋 and silent witnesses of former mines ⛏️. Find them all in my 103-page Milos ebook. 💕
.
Thank you Fiona of @prettyprettyplacescom for taking me around Milos this time and everyone check out her Portfolio for unique, remote and private places 🏡 with a view in Milos!

🥹 The best unexpected boat trip ever
.
We took the ferry from Paros to Antiparos and then drove down to Agios Georgios beach, which is a totally beautiful blue lagoon ending at the uninhabited island 🏝️ of Despotiko. Near the beach we found ⚓️ Captain Sargos, who takes people on boat trips to Despotiko island and the caves of south Antiparos.
.
€ 10 to go to the temple of Despotiko and €35 for the whole trip including beaches and caves. You might even see dolphins 🐬 or seals 🦭!!
.
The trip took some 3 hours and was perfect to combine with a visit to the cave of Antiparos and a visit of Antiparos town 💕.
