I can’t get Crete out of my head. Especially the wildflowers. 🌼 My first trip to the largest of the Greek islands more than 10 years ago changed the way I travel. I was captivated by its natural beauty, slower pace, welcoming people and of course, delicious food. Returning to Crete again in the late spring/early summer months left me with a renewed sense of awe and wonder. It was an unexpected adventure once again. It’s Pisces season, which means warmer weather is on the horizon. I can’t help but dream about some of my favorite beaches, which just so happen to be in Crete. The largest Greek island boasts more than 650 miles of coastline, so there are more than a few to choose from. With sparkling blue water, dramatic scenery and few other people to share them with, these beaches are the stuff summer dreams are made of. Here are my top 5 favorite beaches in southern Crete. 💙 From Palm Springs, with love. 💗🌴☀️ Benvenuti a Milano! 🇮🇹 Destination: #Bath, England. ‘Tis the season and the Ton is looking lovely as ever! No wonder countless movies and TV shows like @bridgertonnetflix have filmed in this a-door-able destination. 🌼🐝 Looking back on 2025 and what’s ahead in the new year. 💙 The summer may be officially over, but oh was it one to remember! Greece never disappoints and this year I had the pleasure of getting aquanited with the beautiful island of Naxos. From its charming whitewashed towns to sandy beaches, delicious food and scenic landscapes, it was everything I hoped for and more. Here’s a look at some of my favorite spots and link in profile to read more about the Top 5 Things to See and Do on Naxos. Monday blues (and greens and golds). Beautiful Bath! There is so much to love about this charming city, from its namesake Roman Baths to the gorgeous Gregorian architecture that has served as a backdrop for tons of literature, film and television (I’m looking at you @bridgertonnetflix!). Read more in my mini Guide to Visiting Bath - link in profile!
