Oh, how I wish we had more time to spend in Prague. We fell in love with the city and a day and a half was nowhere near enough time to spend there. We stayed for two nights and paid with points for a free stay...
Let's be honest, you don't have to search too hard to find great food in Italy, but if you want to find the best of the best, look no further than the Emilia-Romagna region. This area is filled with small, local producers and some of...
On our last free day in Bologna, we had plans to explore the city. While I desperately wanted to climb the towers and walk to the Santuario di Madonna di San Luca via the long Portico, we ended up abandoning those plans and on a...
A trip to Italy should be all about the food, right? Even though there are many active adventures we would love to scope out in Italy one day, this trip was all about foodie adventures and some relaxation. The only activity we had officially planned...
It seems as though there are ancient ruins everywhere you turn throughout the entire country of Greece. It’s exciting to think that you are walking amongst so much history, and to see how well preserved some of the sites are. Even though we couldn’t possibly...
Wine isn’t the first thing I think of when I envision Santorini. When I think of Santorini, I see the traditional architecture of white buildings cascading down the caldera edge, beaches, and even donkeys, but not wineries. However, much to my surprise, there were once...
We had heard mixed reviews about the volcano sailing and hiking tour in Santorini, so we decided to play it by ear and leave our plans open ended. Many people said the volcano in Santorini was boring and there was nothing to look at, others...
By far, our favorite activity in Santorini was the hike from Fira to Oia. The views were spectacular and throughout most of the hike, it felt as though we were on the island by ourselves! Due to some pretty high winds, none of the regularly scheduled...
Santorini is a beautiful island. Our stay on the island happened to coincide with a particularly windy week in October. If you were sailing to, from or around the island on any of those days, the wind would be a hinder; however, for us, it...
It’s that time again. Time for more street art photos—as I’ve said before, Athens is filled with street art, and supposedly has one of the largest displays in the world. Although initially, street art can make a place seem unsafe and gritty, that’s definitely not...
We arrived in Athens late at night after a flight from Santorini, and we groggily made our way to our hotel without seeing much of the city. So, the next morning was quite a treat when we joined Athens Insiders on a walking and food...
Athens has had its share of bad press and unfavorable views, but I don’t think that negative attention is deserved. We really enjoyed our time in Athens, and found the city, as well as the people, very welcoming. I loved the mixture of the new...
