The three words to describe Santorini are; picturesque, serene and magical. It is honestly hard to believe that such an incredible place exists. Just look at it! We arrived by Ferry which was beautiful. Sailing in was surreal; seeing the caldera with all of the white buildings on the top! There were numerous gorgeous ships parked which made me very excited!! we found our hotel which was only a short bus ride from the hill. When we arrived, we went straight up the top and had a coffee overlooking the magical view of the Caldera. I could have sat there all day. The shopping was AMAZING!! I brought 5 pairs of stunning shoes and a gorgeous dress. Everything was super cheap and I loved it. We had a delicious dinner under the bougainvilleas which was a truly beautiful setting. We then looked around a but more before going back to our hotel.
The next day we went to Perissa beach which was so different from any of the other beaches we have been to but so beautiful. The sand was black and there were volcanic rocks all around. It was a great swim. Santorini is certainly an incredible place.

Paros is so beautiful. It has such a different vibe to the other Greek Islands, it is so relaxing and peaceful. It almost feels like a seaside town you go to for family holidays and I love it. We went to a beautiful town called Naoussa. It is so special walking through the little streets with the stunning bougainvilleas everywhere you look. There were some great shops and I bought some fabulous sparkly pink slides! After spending some time there we went home to Aliki for dinner. It was so lovely eating delicious Greek cuisine by the water watching a radiant sunset. After dinner we went back to our little house and watched an old Greek movie that was on TV. My Yai Yai loved it and was singing along to all of the songs and commentating the movie for us as we don't speak Greek and it was so special. The next day we went to a beautiful beach called Piso Lavadi and had a beautiful swim. The water was stunning like everywhere else on the island! It was hilarious because a monster wave came and wet everything on the sand and everyone was running and trying to move their things. It was great. We then went to the port town and did some more shopping. It was also very beautiful. We watched a beautiful sunset while eating ice cream on the beach, which was the perfect way to end our time in Paros. Oh and ps. there are so many cute cats here and I love them. I feed them all. I don't want to leave them behind! We arrived at the beautiful Greek Island of Paros yesterday by ferry and just enjoyed a nice night in Aliki; the seaside village where we are staying. It is a lot quieter than Mykonos but is so special! Today we set off early for a 3 and a half hour boat trip with 'Rofos boat tours' and it was magical. We went to three gorgeous swimming spots and had the most wonderful time. The first spot was my favourite. The water was crystal clear and you could see everything. It was one of the most incredible shades of blue I have ever seen! We had a blast jumping off the side of the boat into the water, I fell off and have a hilarious video! The second spot was stunning as well. It was in a rocky area and it was marvellous, very unique! There was a little bit of snorkelling there but not much to see. The third spot was very similar to the first, light blue crystal clear water which was pure magic. This tour was one of the highlights of my entire trip. We had some refreshments on the boat and the crew were super friendly! It was a stunning day and I will always remember it!
