Our second stop for this 3-week Greek holiday is Alonissos, an island in the Sporades region of Greece. Unlike all the other islands nearby it, Alonissos remains to be the lesser known island which came to me as a surprise since I found it extremely charming and beautiful! It must be good for us then … Continue reading
I’ve been married to The Greek Mister for a year now and I have to say that his family’s warm welcome to me also made such a difference in our relationship. The Greeks are very warm and affectionate people, they are not shy to show their emotions towards anyone which is what I love about … Continue reading
I am extremely fascinated by old towns and villages – the cobblestone streets, the traditional houses, the old architecture and the simple way of living. I am so into old villages that I think I was born in the wrong century as I would definitely love to live in these kinds of places with my … Continue reading
Amongst all the beaches that we’ve visited in Alonissos, it was in Kokkinokastro where we spent the longest time for the reason being there’s no taverna in this beach.

As I went down the stairs leading to Chrisi Milia beach, I couldn’t help myself but marvel at its beauty. Golden sand covers the beach as far as your eyes can see, the turquoise water which glistens under the sun, the boats bobbing at the horizon, a silhouette of another Greek island farther down, the … Continue reading
On our second day in Alonissos, I was woken up by the sound of the crickets chirping in unison at exactly 6 in the morning. It’s like a cricket leader gathers his cricket friends around as soon as he sees the first sign of the rays of the sun, counts 5,6,7,8 and they all chirp … Continue reading
The main reason of this Greek holiday was to spend a week with The Greek Mister’s family in an island in the Sporades region of Greece called Alonissos. I have been looking forward to it since the day that we’ve finalized the trip. My in-laws defy all the typical stereotypes of a family-in-law. While some … Continue reading
