#traveldiaries Just came back from an unforgettable visit to Monemvasia, and I’m still in awe! 🏰 This medieval town, built on a massive rock connected to the mainland by a narrow causeway, is something straight out of a fairy tale. Walking through the stone streets, you feel like you’ve stepped into another era. The entrance to the town is free, but if you want to visit the fortress at the top, it’s around 4 euros. The climb is totally worth it for the stunning views of the sea and the town below 🌊. Exploring the ancient churches and charming alleys, I couldn’t believe how well-preserved everything is. One of my highlights was sipping coffee at a little café overlooking the Aegean, with the breeze coming off the water—absolute bliss! If you’re into history, Monemvasia is a dream, and for beach lovers, Pori Beach is just a short drive away. #trip #Monemvasia #GreeceTravel #MedievalTown #AegeanViews #HiddenGems

#summerdestinations I had an amazing time visiting the Archaeological Site of Sounion during my summer vacation! 🏛️ Located about an hour's drive from Athens, this site is home to the Temple of Poseidon, perched on a cliff overlooking the Aegean Sea. The entrance fee is around €8, which is a small price to pay for such a breathtaking view and a deep dive into ancient history. The temple itself is beautifully preserved, and the panoramic views of the sea from the site are absolutely stunning. It’s an ideal spot to watch the sunset, as the colors over the Aegean are simply magical. 🌅 After exploring the site, I enjoyed a meal at a nearby seaside taverna, savoring fresh seafood while soaking in the views. The surrounding area is also worth exploring, with its charming local shops and beautiful coastal scenery. Overall, the Archaeological Site of Sounion is a must-visit for anyone interested in history and natural beauty. It offers a perfect blend of ancient wonder and spectacular vistas. #trip #Sounion #TempleOfPoseidon #AncientGreece #AegeanViews #TravelAdventure

🇬🇷 Monemvasia located in southeastern Peloponnese, Monemvasia showcases architecture inspired by Venetian and Ottoman influences, offering breathtaking sea views, rich history, and timeless beauty. If you haven’t visited yet, it’s a must-see! I go every year, and every season has its own charm. The food is also incredible! 🤤 🏰 Monemvasia, meaning “single entrance” in Greek, is a stunning historic fortress town perched on a rocky islet, connected to the mainland by a narrow causeway. 📸 The first two pictures are from the home balcony of renowned Greek poet Yannis Ritsos. ✨ Monemvasia—one single entrance, as if to guard the soul from dispersing into the vastness, holding it steadfast within its own eternity. - Yannis Ritsos ✨ #Monemvasia #GreeceTravel #Peloponnese #HistoricTown #VenetianArchitecture #OttomanInfluence #GreekHistory #Ritsos #AegeanViews #GreekCuisine #TravelGoals #CulturalHeritage #summerdestinations

#chillandthrill Rhodes Island, Greece, was an incredible getaway filled with history, beautiful beaches, and amazing food! 🇬🇷✨ I spent hours wandering the medieval Old Town of Rhodes, a UNESCO World Heritage site. It’s free to enter, and walking through its cobblestone streets, ancient gates, and the Palace of the Grand Master (€8) was like stepping back in time. 🏰 For some sun and sea, I visited Lindos Beach, with its golden sand and crystal-clear waters. Above it, the Acropolis of Lindos (€12) offered stunning views of the Aegean. 🌊🏛️ Another highlight was Anthony Quinn Bay, a small but picturesque spot perfect for snorkeling. Rhodes is a mix of history, natural beauty, and Mediterranean charm. Don’t forget to try the local moussaka—it’s delicious! #RhodesIsland #MedievalCharm #GreekParadise #AegeanViews #LindosAdventures #IslandEscape

#traveldiaries Just got back from an incredible visit to Isternia, Greece, and wow, what a gem! 🏞️ This charming mountain village on the island of Tinos is a true escape from the busy tourist spots. The cobblestone streets and whitewashed houses give it a peaceful vibe. Entry to most places is free, but I'd recommend budgeting for a few euros if you plan to visit local museums or churches. The panoramic views of the Aegean Sea are unreal 🌊! Nearby, you can visit the village of Pyrgos for its famous marble workshops, or take a short drive to the beaches of Kolymbithra for a swim. Be sure to try the local tavernas for some authentic Greek food 🧀. #trip #Greece #Isternia #AegeanViews #GreekEscape #Tinos
