FAMILY ADVENTURES IN SANTORINI

We spent a week in the breathtakingly beautiful volcanic island that is Santorini, Greece. We overlooked a majestic volcano submerged into the Aegean Ocean every morning for seven days and never grew weary of the site.

When we could tear ourselves away from the gorgeous view, we took a sailing tour in the Aegean for a closer look of the active volcanoes of the island. We also ventured to Perissa beach to check out the Santorini Water Park for our 6 year old daughter which provided a great day of fun.



Finally we checked out the glamorous town of OIa for lunch and then headed to Fira to enjoy the jaw dropping views from the cable cars and then travel back to the old world with donkey rides back up the volcano.

All together it was an amazing holiday. Check out the video to join us on our family adventure!

Packing for Santorini Greece

I can’t believe it. A dream vacation destination is finally becoming reality. Our family and I are heading to one of the most beautiful destinations in the world – Santorini, Greece!

This is our end of summer vacation. We are flying into London Heathrow and from there getting a direct flight to Santorini. Direct flights from London usually only happen in the summer and other times of the year you will need to fly into Athens and get the high speed ferry to Santorini. It’s is usually about a 5 hour ride but I hear it goes fast. We were however very fortunate to snag flights directly from London Heathrow for our end of summer getaway.

So what am I packing? Since I know it will still be really warm, I will be sure to pack breezy light weight summer staples; floaty maxi dresses in stripes and floral prints and plenty of white. As for beauty products. I want to pack minimally with my go to all-in-one blush bronzer/combo from Hourglass, the Tarte in Bloom eyeshadow palette and my favorite OPI nail color Big Apple Red on my hands and feet. For footwear, flats are key. I am loving these white birkenstocks. They go with everything I’m wearing and add perfectly to the chilled out Mediterranean vibe of the island.

We are staying in the gorgeous town of Fira which boasts the most remarkable sunsets ever. I can’t wait to enjoy the view from our balcony and share those views with you. Stay tuned for photos and a recap of our stay in the magical island of Santorini.

Until Next Time!
