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.

Hydra | After arriving to this dreamy island, just an hour from Athens we checked into the impossibly chic @mandrakibeachresort - and what a special place it was. 

Tucked away in its own secluded bay and only accessible by water taxi or a long coastal walk, Mandraki is the kind of hideaway that makes you forget an outside world exists. 

It’s one of the newer boutique stays on the island and it’s has quickly become one of my favourite Greek island beach retreats. 

Unlike staying in Hydra town, here it’s all about peace, privacy and waking up with the  Aegean just steps away from your suite. The design is pared-back and elegant with a touch of sun-bleached, barefoot luxury that Greece does so well. 

I’ve already shared my stay on roamandthrive.com and already posted a few more peeks on my stories…

Who’s up for a Greek summer this year?

Early spring in Sofia, Bulgaria

While it might not be Europe’s most popular destination, Sofia offers a surprisingly rich and rewarding experience for curious travelers. The city is located at the foot of Mount Vitosha, and blends layers of history—from Roman ruins to Ottoman mosques and Soviet-era architecture—with a vibrant, evolving culture. 

The food scene is a standout, with cozy taverns serving hearty dishes like banitsa, shopska salad, and slow-roasted meats, alongside modern spots reimagining traditional Bulgarian flavors. 

Sofia’s charm lies in its contrasts: ancient churches beside trendy cafés, quiet parks near bustling markets. 

Stay tuned—my Sofia travel guides are coming soon!
