Bellagio Hotel, Fourka - relaxing gardens and pool

Image
In Fourka I booked the Bellagio hotel for a 7 night All Inclusive holiday. Looked like the best option cost-wise and the location still looked very nice - close to the beach, with own pool and on AI. Besides, before booking anything I always check the reviews from customers who have already been there just to make sure what I'm looking at.  We found it easily and parked at the hotel's own parking - it was free of charge and there was enough space for the guest cars. It's located right behind the rooms, in the forest.  We had 3 meals each day - breakfast, lunch and dinner including the drinks at all times - in the restaurant and from the bar. Surprisingly there wasn't a huge variety of alcoholic drinks - I expected ouzo and other typical Greek delights however there were none. We had choice between beer and wine, which was fine with me however we expected more considering it was All Inclusive and not Full Board Plus.  Food - it was nice, they tried to pr...

Explore Litochoro - Day 2

Image
On our second day in Litochoro we had great time by the pool!  It was amazing with nice weather and relatively cold pool water. It seems like the perfect time of the year to get tan as in the hot summer months - June, July and August it's too hot - it feels like the sun is burning a whole through my skin which is a very strange feeling!  We didn't have lunch as part of the package which was still alright as we still wanted to explore the place. Our hotel was not located in the resort center, we were very close to the beach and sea so if we wanted to go to the actual city we had to use the cars. We went there by car anyway so we didn't have any issues with this.  After dinner we decided to explore the resort and try the local restaurants even though we had dinner at the hotel. Quite frankly - it was not the best of the dinners. We do like food of great quality and one of us has a business dedicated to great sea food so we did want to see how the locals would do...

Explore A Beach! - Kallitheas!

Image
Love Summer15 ? How about a beach exploration journey? This summer I went to a couple of beaches including the Kallitheas beach in Greece! Amazing waters and there were so many people and still it was peaceful and relaxing: Many beach bars - in Greece it's easy to get a sunbed and an umbrella - you just order coffee and you're ready to go! People are very nice and of course very friendly when it comes to the tourists! if you can visit the beach - definitely do! There are suitable places to leave the car at so certainly there is no need to worry about it! And you can totally spend the whole day at the beach - you can order food, drinks, anything you may need and enjoy the amazing water! It's crystal clear and you can see small fishes enjoying life as it is! The weather during our stay was sunny and with very light wind which made it seem even hotter. We went there at the end of June and had great time - there were many people and as yet it was still clean and...

Explore Koral

Image
Koral is an amazing beach very close to Lozenetz with absolutely no bars, umbrellas, sunbeds. Nothing. The beach is completely concession free which makes it extremely wild and perfect for the most relaxing, budget and stress-free day on the beach. Just because no one is taking care of the beach, it doesn't necessarily mean that you should avoid it. Exactly the opposite - the people who visit the beach obviously realize that it's important to keep it clean and thanks to that there is no rubbish anywhere on the beach. It's an amazing long shore and the water is clean and shiny so this is the best place to enjoy a quite day on a marvelous beach. Here is a picture of the amazing shore. The road to there is not the perfect one so be prepared. There are parking spots though - we managed to park nearly on the road, there is a small area to leave the car but in the woods there is a camping so some of the guests were leaving the cars within meters to the beach. Personall...

Cruise Memories

Loving my cruise memories and pics!  Below I'm sharing a pic of the exact moment right before boarding back on the boat while it was just about to start pouring rain! Love the pic as I could catch both of the boats (marvelous by the way) and the amazing sky - so blue and at the same time scary!  Love #travelling  Love Summer! 

Explore Litochoro - Day 1

Image
This summer I had an amazing short break in Litochoro so even though it's already been a couple of months I find it an experience worth sharing!  Day 1 We decide to have lunch in Thessaloniki. Turns out to be a huge mistake due to the awful traffic and huge lack of parking spots. After 12 km within the town looking for a free spot we finally manage to find a parking and leave the card there for "just" 4.50 euro. We go for a quick walk to find the perfect place for lunch. There is a great street along the seaside with cafes and restaurants on the right side and the beautiful sea on the left however everything there is waaay to expensive so we try to go back to the center and look for a place to eat which is far from the tourist area. Note: Thessaloniki is a big tourist city so finding such a spot can be a hard one. We got to a place with sandwiches and a great variety of sweets and chocolate products where we have our sandwiches and quickly go...
