A post like this one kind of don’t need a lot of words right? When you look at images like this you can just feel the warmth from the sun, and almost feel the way your feet touches the rounded pebbles on the bottom of the ocean. The soothing sound of the waves as they rock your body back and forth. You close your eyes and enjoy the feeling you get when the sunshine hits your eyelids. Mmh, sunshine, summer and vacation. Greece is good like that! Have you ever been to Greece? If you have, what’s your favorite place? And if you could choose one place in Greece, where…

Oh yes, this is definitely a year of traveling within Greece for us, and to be traveling with our family. So we have just returned from yet another trip to the island of Rhodes in Greece, but this time it was not just us, we are traveling together with Jacobs’s niece and her daughter. This was actually our third time on this island. Our first visit to Rhodes was in July of 2016, together with my mother and our son. At that time we were staying in a small village, along the west side of the coast. We actually had another booking for Rhodes during 2020, but we all know…

When we traveled to Rhodes in late September it was actually our first trip abroad since the pandemic hit us. I really thought that we would book our first trip right after we took our second dose of the vaccine, but to be honest – I was a bit scared of traveling for the first time since the pandemic. I know a lot of people started traveling again, or never even stopped traveling during the pandemic, but for me personally it felt wrong to even even think about going abroad up until this point.We’ve traveled within Sweden for sure, but not abroad. Until this trip. Traveling with the restrictions and…

When something good happens, travel to celebrate.If something bad happens, travel to forget it.If nothing happens, travel to make something happen. I couldn’t tell you who said it, even if my life depended on it… But I do love quotes, and especially travelquotes. Do you have any favorite quotes?

    The whitewashed homes with blue accents and doors are somewhat iconic when it comes to Greek-styled homes, so naturally, you can find quite a few white buildings on Lindos as well. It’s not just pretty and picturesque but in fact, the white color helps to cool down the island homes during the summer heat, but I have also read that it was used to prevent the spread of cholera. The whitewash contained limestone, which is a disinfectant, and not many others wherein common use during that time. Should we all paint our houses with limestone? Of just visit Greece more often?  

After a few days of just enjoying the beaches and sunshine, we were up for a bit of an adventure so we ended up booking a boat trip to the town Lindos. If you book a tour as we did, you get picked up in the harbor in the city of Rhodes, there’s one stop on the way to pick more people but otherwise, it’s a few hours on the boat, and when you arrive in the small port of Lindos. They have a small bar on the boat with some snacks and cold beverages, restrooms, of course, sunbeds both on the foredeck and on the flybridge terrasse. They even…

    I could say that every day during our trip to the island of Rhodes in Greece was not like the images above, but that would be a big fat lie. Ronda beach Bar was absolutely amazing, I mean, just look at the images of this bohemian-styled paradise. Wouldn’t you be there every day? It was a bit on the pricy side, we paid 20 euros to rent two sunbeds for one day, towel included. If you wanted a sunbed on the front row, you would have to pay 30 euros. And then, of course, you’ll have to pay extra for food and drinks. But you know what, it…
