It takes a lifetime to discover Greece, but it only takes a moment to fall in love there

We’re here visiting a fortress in ruins in the city of Sitia 😊

Very picturesque town, not much for beaches though, but the sightseeings are unlike any other place in Crete we’d seen so far. We were exploring with great curiosity, and had a really nice moment there… but we left early, because the sun was crazy hot and we needed to get a swim !

It’s quite far east, and I’m not sure it’s worth going all the way there : time & gas wise. I’d say, turn back south west after Mochlos, which is definitely the prettiest fisherman village of the coast.

My favorite thing is to travel anywhere in Crete, I’m in love with that island.

Visiting the gorgeous city of Ierapetra ! ☀️ a stunning, quiet, village.

My jaw dropped. It’s the most southern city on the island of Crete, and you can even spot the unhabited Chrissi island, which is close to the Libyan sea and Egypt. We wanted to go there, but in the middle of August is the worst time. The boat drops you off there for the day, there are barely any trees to take cover from the sun, and it’s basically African sun !

But Ierapetra was stunning, the people were extra nice… the nicest of the whole island. Food was exquisite ! I loved it there.

Paying a little surprise visit to my Grandma 🤍

Got her the nicest macarons from Ladurée, so she can enjoy a little tea time with me, just as if we were in Paris together ! Since she had her stroke, she can’t travel, and she’s been missing those moments. So I’ve decided to bring some of Paris directly to her 🤗

Chemin de Nietzsche

November 10, 2023November 3, 2023 ~ Madison Kennedy

My boyfriend loves Nietzsche, so I surprised him with this hike !

I knew there was this beautiful path that the philosopher used to take to get to the medieval town of Èze. It’s definitely more for experienced hikers, and not for someone like me suffering from rheumatoid arthritis 😅. But I also read online that there were many spots along the way where you could sit and rest : and that’s absolutely true ! Without it, I wouldn’t have managed to get up there. It’s an hour hike, it took me over two hours… as you can imagine, I sat whenever I could.

It was a real challenge for the both of us, for him it was a special connection to the writer, and for me it was completely physical. Being quite recently diagnosed with two auto-immune diseases has been difficult for me, but I know I can’t achieve anything if I let that be the best of me. So I push myself, and I’m always happy when I reach my goals, like this one ❤️.

Enjoying the Mediterranean sun in Monaco

November 8, 2023November 3, 2023 ~ Madison Kennedy

Whatever happens in Monaco, stays in Monaco ? 🇲🇨

This place is a little bit like Las Vegas, but with a heavy French Touch… so it’s beautiful ! Gorgeous even ! The city is basically divided in quarters, you have the casino one (with all the fancy luxury stores), the riviera where you can spot extravagant yachts, and the old town where the castle is, on top of a hill : which was my favorite.
