Right near Red Beach and just beyond Akrotiri, there’s a small white church that’s easy to miss if you’re focused on the cliffs. This is Agios Nikolaos Church, St. Nicholas Church in Akrotiri. It’s nothing like the famous blue domes in Oia. No dramatic staircase. No crowds …
When we visited Athens, one stop that completely surprised me was the Acropolis Museum. It isn’t part of the Acropolis itself. In fact, it sits at the base of the hill, just a short walk away. But visiting the museum in the evening gave us …
Tucked into the northeastern slope beneath the UNESCO listed Acropolis and above the Plaka neighborhood sits Anafiotika, one of Athens’ quietest surprises. The village has whitewashed walls, blue shutters and is completely unexpected. Narrow pathways that twist between tiny homes built into the rock. Standing …
In Greece, meze is a way of dining built around small shared plates rather than one main dish. Instead of ordering individual entrées, the table slowly fills with dishes meant to be passed and tasted together. Dips, vegetables, salads, bread, grilled items, meatballs, whatever is …

I had already visited Akrotiri, and I loved walking through the ruins there. Seeing the streets. The buildings. Trying to imagine what life looked like before the eruption. Then we visited the Museum of Prehistoric Thera in Fira on Santorini. Inside this quiet building, were some of the …
Before the caldera views and whitewashed hotels, there was a city here. A real one. On the southern edge of Santorini sits Akrotiri. A Bronze Age settlement that was buried by volcanic ash more than 3,600 years ago. Walking through it doesn’t feel like touring …
When I visited Santorini, I knew I’d be swept away by the sunsets and the whitewashed villages clinging to volcanic cliffs. What I didn’t expect was just how memorable the wine scene would be. Thanks to a friend who happens to be a sommelier, I …
