About This Trip
Sailing the Aegean, exploring whitewashed villages, and living the island dream. My Greek island hopping adventure was filled with sun, sea, and unforgettable moments.
My Experience
Island hopping in Greece was a dream come true. Each island had its own unique charm, from the iconic blue domes of Santorini to the lively beaches of Mykonos and the medieval streets of Rhodes. The food was fresh and delicious, the people were warm and welcoming, and every sunset felt like a celebration. Sailing between islands, swimming in crystal-clear waters, and discovering hidden coves made every day an adventure. The highlight was experiencing the vibrant nightlife and a glamorous casino night in Rhodes!
Activities & Adventures
Sailing the Aegean
We chartered a small sailboat and explored the Cyclades, stopping at secluded beaches and charming fishing villages. The freedom of the open sea was exhilarating!
Santorini Sunsets
Watching the sun set over the caldera in Oia was pure magic. The whitewashed buildings and blue domes glowed in the golden light.
Swimming in Mykonos
The beaches of Mykonos were lively and beautiful. We swam, sunbathed, and enjoyed beachside cafes with fresh seafood and local wine.
Casino Night at Rhodes Casino
A glamorous night out at the historic Rhodes Casino! We dressed up, tried our luck at the tables, and enjoyed cocktails overlooking the sea.
Exploring Old Town Rhodes
Wandering the medieval streets of Rhodes Old Town felt like stepping back in time. The ancient walls, cobblestone alleys, and lively squares were unforgettable.
Greek Food Tour
From fresh octopus to baklava, every meal was a delight. We sampled local specialties on every island and learned to make tzatziki in a cooking class.
Where I Stayed
Mykonos Blu Grecotel
Psarou Beach, Mykonos
This luxury resort was the perfect base for exploring the islands. The infinity pool overlooked the Aegean, and the private beach was a slice of paradise. The staff made us feel like family.
