Skopelos Island (Sporades), Greece
Travel Period: June 2017
Back in the summer of 2017, Dutchman and I holidayed in Skiathos which is part of the Sporades group of islands in the Greek Aegean Sea. We mostly spent our holiday in Skiathos but also did little trips to the nearby islands.
Rome, Italy
Travel Period: December 2018
What would you do if you have one night to spend in Rome?
Hmm, it would be difficult to choose because there are so many great places to see in the city…
Travel Period: December 2016
Destination: Xiamen, Fujian, China
On my last day in Xiamen, I decided to do a bit of joyriding in the local bus transportation of Xiamen. My end destination is the business part of Xiamen where the modern and tall buildings congregate. The bus was definitely the best, easiest and cheapest way to navigate and see Xiamen.
China is a country about tea. It is where tea originally comes from. I recently read that, after water, tea is the most widely consumed beverage in the world. Not surprising at all, given that China has more than a billion people. Well, I drink tea myself and billions of other people in Europe and Asia.
The island of Skiathos is small and is just perfect to navigate around with a scooter (or a motorbike).
This is our last dinner in Skiathos Old Town.
Skiathos Old Town and the island itself are lovely and very much a highly recommended holiday destination for us. We have enjoyed our stay here. The car-free Old Town is very pretty and traditional, filled with inviting boutique-style stores and open taverna seating on cobblestone streets. Skiathos holds up to the standard of a charming Greek town on a Greek island.
Perhaps our favourite beach on Skiathos Island…
Another summer day in Skiathos Island.
Skiathos Old Town is one of the prettiest Greek town island centers I have visited. It is very charming and welcoming, and it is also quite hilly with great vantage points for views.
One of our dinners in the Old Town of Skiathos…
Dutchman and I were craving for some mixed grilled meat for this particular evening.
This is one of our favourite beach chill days in Skiathos.
Lounging the whole afternoon until early evening on Agia Eleni Summer Beach in the Koukounaries, and then followed by a nice dinner at Salt & Pepper Restaurant nearby….
This is one of our evening walks in Skiathos and dinner on the harbour.
