    Great tips for travelling around the Greek islands! My extra tip would also be to allow sufficient time on each island – every one has its own culture, identity and history which you need to immerse yourself in.

      Hey there! That’s a really good point. It can be easy to want to cram it all in and see everything, but part of the beauty of the islands is relaxing and soaking it all in. In my opinion, it’s better to see three places over the span of a week or two, rather than 5 or 6 in the same time period — so you’re not constantly on the go.

    We’ll be travelling to greece next July (2021). Our idea is to charter a sailboat, maybe in Athens (as a couple we like to sail and enjoy it a lot), and wondering places to go in 1 week. What do you recommend? Thanks!

      Hey Fred! That sounds incredible 🙂 Definitely take a look at this post: https://www.theblondeabroad.com/guide-to-best-greek-islands/

      Santorini and Mykonos are usual pitstops (and for good reason!) but it really depends what kind of vibe you’re after. Some places are more geared for romance, or partying, or outdoors — so consider that.

Unforgettable memories from the ultimate girls’ weekend getaway—with 18 kids, sunshine, and pure luxury at @lascasitaspm 🌴✨

Las Casitas is managed by @vehm.mx, the premier property management company in Punta Mita. They oversee the most exclusive villas in the area, and every one of their properties is fully staffed and loaded with luxury amenities.

This gorgeous beachfront estate in the exclusive Kupuri community features three private casitas, 12 bedrooms, 13.5 bathrooms, a stunning infinity pool, hot tub, gym, and beach access. It’s designed for big groups, but feels intimate, relaxed, and totally elevated.

The real MVPs? The incredible full-time staff. We had a chef, sous chef, pastry chef, butler, concierge, and housekeeping—literally someone looking after our every need. Every meal was a gourmet experience, and every moment was effortless (which, with 18 kids, is saying a lot).

@vehm.mx helped us coordinate in-house massages for the mamas, and organized a piñata for the kids and a mariachi band to celebrate Oliver’s birthday THREE-esta!

Perfect for a 40th birthday, girlfriend getaway, or large family trip—we’re already planning our return. I can’t recommend it enough (or stop talking about it)!
