About this listen

In this solo episode, I'm recapping my own trip to Greece with my husband, Nick — and we covered a lot of ground.

From sipping wine in the Nemea region 🍷 to relaxing at the beachy Vincci EverEden Resort 🌊, exploring the charming streets of Nafplio 🏛️, and ending with a 7-night island-hopping cruise across Corfu, Kefalonia, Mykonos, Santorini, and Rhodes — this was a trip to remember.

I’m breaking down:

  • Why Nafplio might be one of Greece’s most underrated gems
  • If the Apollo Coast is worth skipping the islands
  • Cruise highlights (and real talk about what wasn’t worth it)
  • My favorite meals, wine picks, and beach spots
  • How to balance luxury with budget-friendly choices

Whether you're planning your own Greek adventure or just want to wander from your headphones, this episode is packed with personal recs, honest takes, and dreamy travel inspo.
