A Family Holiday at Domes of Elounda, Crete, Greece

A Classical Stay at Hotel Grande Bretagne, A Luxury Collection Hotel in Athens

‘First stop, Athens!’ I revealed to Mr S in the taxi on the way to the airport. It was the beginning of the big surprise trip that I’d been planning for months to celebrate his birthday. Ok, so it didn’t come as a huge surprise as he already knew we were going to Greece after… Read more »

If the Greek Islands were a jewellery box, Santorini would be the prize diamond.
