After a few days of enjoying the villa, lying by the pool, and slowly turning into a solid piece of feta, we planned a little day trip out to visit the Saint Efraim Monastery and then the Museum of Marathon. Both places are within a 30-minute drive of the villa, so after a few cups… Continue reading Museum of Marathon and Saint Efraim Monastery, Greece
VillaMarathon, Greece
VillaMarathon, the most incredible villa I have ever stayed in, on the best holiday with my future husband. Spot Sushi! A few leg-crushing hours on the flight later (note to self, never fly without extra legroom again!), we excited hopped off the plane, had our passports stamped and impatiently waited for our luggage so we… Continue reading VillaMarathon, Greece

Summer Days
It's been a fair old while since I've written on here, and I have to say I've missed it. Blogging is definitely not cool anymore, but then again, I've never been cool.
