Hard case suitcase is a must if you're like me and want to bring back fancy wines and spirits from your trip. Keeps everything safe inside and you can put vinyl stickers on the outside if you want to identify your suitcase more easily!

Traveling beauty
I really like these for traveling since they come with the cases and are bars so you don't have to worry about liquids in your carryon.

The solid bar is great for travel as it doesn't add to your liquid allowance for carry on, plus it's awesome it comes with the silicone scrub mat which is super useful!

Great for traveling! You can put it in a square tin for transport and again, doesn't count towards liquids.
Aromaco | Antibacterial Solid Roll On Natural Deodorant
The conditioner bar is amazing for travel and it smells so good.
American Cream Pressed Conditioner
I use this powder for a quick freshen up, great for bed sheets, ot the suitcase. If it smells a little bit stale, I give a few sprinkles and just rub/dust it in. Also great for absorbing under arm moisture or for your lady bits if you feel you need a...
Sleepy Dust | Talc Free Perfumed Dusting Body Powder
Makes me feel so glam I literally love this for vacations. Blend in with brush or sponge to avoid feeling like there is an oily residue tho, it's very hydrating.

Places in Greece I LOVED
I stayed a week in Athens, 5 days in Ios and a week in Fira on Santorini. If I could suggest one thing, spend more time on smaller islands. Sifnos is where Greeks go to vacation.
Clean rooms, social place! Located downtown, max 25-minute walking distance to any historical sites, about 10 minute walk to the metro station. The private rooms were spacious and clean, and the bed was super comfy! Front desk staff have great sugges...

George's Taxi
Honestly AMAZING Thai food. The outside looks understated, and you walk through a dance floor to an outdoor court yard with trees and vines and everything. The food was great, and their cocktails were out of this world. Highly recommend checking it o...
SIX D.O.G.S, Athens - 2025 Reviews & Information

Francesco's, Ios - 2025 Prices & Reviews

Best wine I had in Greece, hands down bar none. The blue bottle santorini is just so amazing, crisp, full of flavour but not acidic, well balanced. I wish I had brought back 2 bottles.
Gavalas Winery
This excursion was so much fun I cannot recommend enough!!!! The tour guide, Kalliope, is based out of her own home on the shores of Santorini. You get picked up at your accommodations (we changed ours last minute and the host was amazing with switch...
SERENITY KAYAK - SANTORINI OUDOORS
If you're going to Athens, you HAVE to check out the acropolis. It can be seen from pretty much anywhere in the city, but it's completely different to actually walk around it and see it first hand. And don't skip the museum!! There are so many beauti...
Acropolis of Athens, Athens - Book Tickets & Tours
If you stop on Ios, make sure you stop at this amazing traditional Goat cheesery! You'll need to rent a car to get there but trust me, it is so worth it! They offer a tasting platter of 7 different cheese that they make, with pairings of local honey,...
