If you’re still undecided when it comes to where to go this summer, then you need to visit this Greek island. 

Just an hour fast ferry ride from Athens, this Saronic island has all vibes; no cars, iconic sunsets, galleries and art, delicious restaurants and insanely clear water. I still can’t stop thinking about my time there this month. 

📍 Hydra, Greece

Athens / Back after a third visit to the city, and this time I managed to cover so much more. I’ve now completely overhauled my Athens guide, adding all my latest recs around the city from chic wine bars to the city’s best boutiques. 

It’s the perfect one day itinerary that can be squeezed in between island hopping or expanded into a weekend in the city. 🔗 in you-know-where.
