Spinalonga island

We continue our trip to visit Spinalonga island !

It’s a picturesque spot, the views whether from inside the fortified citadel, or at the ramparts, are quite breathtaking. Fun fact, it is known as the Leper island… people who contracted that disease in Crete, even Greece, would be sent here to live away from the rest of the population. It’s pretty now, even if it’s in ruins, but you can definitely feel some bad, lonely and desperate vibes.

By the way, don’t pay attention to my boyfriend’s outfit (the green shorts… you will get familiar with those in the next posts); he’s the type of guy to pack one or two pants when going on vacay at the beach, because he believes we don’t need clothes for that sort of trip. Whereas I’m over here changing outfits daily 😂

Na eiste kala !

Na eiste kala !

Three years ago we completely fell in love with this island 🤍 🇬🇷

And we’ve been back every year since ! So this is our third… we’re still obsessed with Crete, and the Cretan people are some of the nicest, most generous we’ve met through our different travels. We just love their vibe !

The first thing we do upon arrival at the airport, is get our car and start the road trip right away. We drive fast, until a beautiful little beach, or cove catches our sight, and we make our stop there : take off all of our airplane clothes, and jump in the sea 🌊

Trust me, it is the best feeling ever. Since we travel there in August / September, the water is so warm, you don’t even have to wait for your skin to get adjusted. It’s the perfect temperature. After that first little (or longer) swim, we go for lunch… and oh my gosh, how nice it is to have a proper Greek salad, with dakos ! Cretans offer some dessert or fruit when you ask for the bill, and a little digestive; ouzo and raki are the most common ones.

The feeling of being wholly disconnected from our stressful Parisian lives, barely an hour after landing… and the freedom the car gets us is unmatchable. It’s just smiles & adventures now, for two weeks ☀️

Na eiste kala !

Still listening to the Twilight soundtrack while editing my pics

Still listening to the Twilight soundtrack while editing my pics

Last post on my current whereabouts, before I start sharing pictures from Crete !

I originally didn’t want to publish those photos on here, because they’re my boyfriend’s & I summer vacation pics, but I need a little break to work on another project, and in the meantime I don’t want to leave my blog without any content when I know I have some.

The weather in Paris has been absolutely stunning up until now… we’ve entered a period of doom ! It’s been raining every day 😭

But right before that, we’ve had the most incredible sunsets, the sky was on fire most nights. We had red suns setting on the woods. It was insane, and so beautiful ! I captured some moments, when we went for walks in the woods, enjoy 🤗

A taste of Italy at EATALY 😊

A taste of Italy at EATALY

EATALY is a famous marketplace chain, with restaurants inside !

My sister & I met again for lunch (this is becoming a series for us 😅). We were in the mood for Italian food, and since we were at the BHV we thought to ourselves, let’s go to Eataly since it’s close-by. I am not a fan of these food chain places, but they do serve occasionally good things, also I happen to know that they have a fair wine selection here.

The fact that I procrastinate and still get the job done, is the reason I still procrastinate

~ Madison Kennedy

A little peek into our home ❤️ that I share with my boyfriend.

We live in a wonderful little town, neighboring Paris. We are meters away from the Vincennes Woods, and we have a stunning view on it. I just love the openness into the sky, sunsets here are something else. Every day we get a show !

Even though we love traveling and going away on amazing trips together, there’s nothing quite like coming back home to this peacefulness.
