Italy Part 3: Capri

Ah...Capri....!!  What a beautiful and completely unique island!  It is absolutely beautiful and felt like straight out of a movie.  It also helped that this was the island of the "rich and famous"- a lot of very wealthy and famous people like to vacation here and it was quite evident by the level of shopping, fashion and food!  We spend a day at a private beach club where Dior had their fashion shoot the week before (!).  I of course recognized no one, but you can tell these were people of fame and fortune!  (so naturally I felt right at home....)

What they don't tell you is that Capri is a giant rock so it's EXTREMELY hilly.  The short walk from the piazza to our hotel was a major leg workout.  (It helped offset the gelato, pasta and limencello!) They don't have roads, just small walkways so everything is pedestrian based.  Sooooo many adorable doors and windows...not enough time to truly capture all of it!   

We were also able to get a private boat tour around the island see the famous green grotto and blue grotto.  Absolutely amazing!

Greece Vacation Series: Part 4 Athens (again)

After Santorini we had a return trip back to Athens before we flew back home!  It was quite warm, so we spent the day at the National Archeological Museum which had a lot to see!  We did some shopping and had a gorgeous rooftop dinner for our last Greek meal complete with a stunning sunset!  All in all a wonderful trip!!

Greece Vacation: Santorini

Lovely Santorini- my favorite spot on the whole trip!  The scenery was everything I had imagined about Greece- steep cliffs, blue water, white buildings with blue domes...it was gorgeous! The black beaches of Santorini: Our little studio hotel Sunset the first night I love doors! We rented a car to get around the island which was a HUGE help! The red beach This fun door was at the Santos Winery- so picture perfect! Donkeys!

We took a hike between the 2 main towns early the morning.  The views were breathtaking and worth the 5.5 mile hike! Ammoudi Bay!  This is where a lot of "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" was filmed.

Where Lena fell into the water!  :) "Sisterhood" photo!  Trying to replicate this! Delicious last meal! Our last day we took a catamaran sunset boat tour- it was gorgeous and we were able to get out and swim in the clear blue water.
