When it comes to the Greek islands, Santorini is probably the most famous. This stunning island is known for its white villages with blue-domed churches perched on the tops of towering cliffs. It’s the iconic image of the Cyclades islands and one of the most photographed destinations in the world. As such, it’s a very…
Greece has thousands of Islands and while I’ve been to several (with plans to visit many more) I have to say that Rhodes is one of my favourites. The island is big enough to keep you busy for several days while maintaining the island charm. Known for its castles, beaches, wineries and incredible history, Rhodes…
If you have heard of Doolin, Ireland it’s probably in association with the Cliffs of Moher. Located on the Wild Atlantic Way, only about 90 minutes from Galway, Doolin is the closest town to the Cliffs of Moher and therefore a popular stopping point for day trip tours or tourists on an Irish road trip.…
If you are looking for a cute, colourful village to visit in Ireland than look no longer than Cobh in county Cork. Cobh, which is pronounced cove is a perfect day trip from Cork or, if you prefer small towns, a great place to spend a night. Best known for being the last port of call to…

Ireland is known for its pubs and chances are that you will be spending quite a bit of your time in those pubs during your Irish vacation. However, while it may seem easy to just pop into a pub for a pint, there are quite a few unspoken rules regarding pub culture in Ireland. When…
I’m going to assume that you already know that Ireland has a reputation for, well, not the best weather. Rain, wind, more rain; you get the picture. But, when the sun comes out it can be warm and beautiful and, believe it or not, it does actually snow on occasion in the dead of winter.…
If your vision of Ireland is rolling green hills and blue lakes, colourful villages and historic sites, then you better add Killarney to your Ireland itinerary. This Irish city is one of the most visited areas of Ireland. The area’s natural beauty makes it one of the most picturesque regions of the country, plus there…
Dingle is one of my all-time favourite places in Ireland. Not only does it have an awesome name (c’mon, how fun is it to say you visited a place called Dingle?), but it’s absolutely adorable with plenty to see to keep you busy. Most people choose to visit Dingle as a day trip from Killarney…
