Spetses, Greece

Spetses is an affluent island and a municipality in the Islands regional unit, Attica, Greece. It is sometimes included as one of the Saronic Islands. An unusual aspect of Spetses is that no private automobiles are allowed within the town limits. The most common modes of transport are walking, horse-drawn carriages, bicycles, mopeds, and motorcycles. Only taxis/delivery vehicles are allowed in the downtown area. Ferries/high-speed hydrofoils arrive regularly from the Athenian port of Piraeus.

greece travel vlog | piraeus, athens, aegina, agistri | byalicexo

in my latest vlog, i'm headed to greece to enjoy a week exploring the ancient capital of athens, relaxing on the sandy shores of nearby islands, and having a good time. 

this holiday was the perfect mix of a city break meets beach holiday and each day was so different, it made the overall holiday absolutely unforgettable.

so, sit back, chill and join me in greece.

Thanks for the tag @alatismeni-theitsa ! The almond tree outside my balcony bloomed these days too!!! It’s true, blog is slowly getting in spring mood. But also anyone can search spring photos in my archive by searching the spring months. BTW I was playing Greece GeoGuessr the other day and here are some spring screenshots I took:

This humble cutie with its awesomely thicc little garden. It’s been some days so I am not sure where this is, but if I remember correctly it’s a Thessalian city.

I hiked (digitally) to the monastery at the top of the town in Hydra island and both these photos are the views from the monastery’s yard, when you turn left and right! Lucky monks huh

Then I moved beyond the monastery (I was basically following these dudes throughout) to reach the peak of the hill. I am gonna sound like a tourist but I didn’t know Hydra gets so green in the spring!

Θεία μου I am diaspora and school is beating me up. Can you reply with some pictures of what Greece looks like right now so I can pretend I'm there enjoying the Spring?

I am sorry school is so harsh on you! Did you leave for studies or do you live there? (Just curious to see how far this blog reached)

Αμάν βρε παιδάκι μου, you picked the most unsuitable Spring day for this message 😂😂 In my area at least it looks like this (internet image from Larissa, not picture from me):

Aaaah yes, spring! Warmth, light, flowers! 😂😂

But hey, you are correct, Spring in Greece is very beautiful! In case you feel down again ,@gemsofgreece posts gorgeous images and keeps them seasonal.

I found some pictures online for this time of year, (Early Spring) but also some full-blown Spring ones that you might enjoy! I focused on nature, because that's what calms me this time of the year. Btw! I believe the αμυγδαλιές outside my house bloomed just yesterday!

Underrated detail about glass onion is that any Greek person could immediately tell you from the port scene and the traveling by boat sequence that this was 100% not taking place in the Ionian sea but the Aegean because there are actually visible differences in the island morphology/vegetation/architecture that give each archipelago its own distinctive look. And this probably won't register to most viewers but there's something utterly delightful in seeing that something you were prepared to shrug off as the usual hollywood casually mishmashing things and taking "creative liberties" (read: not doing research) for no important reason was actually part of the meta narrative about the utter stupidity and ignorance of the "vainglorious buffoon" billionaire character. Gg Ryan Johnson, absolutely hilarious and well appreciated detail, no notes.
