Swipe through a day in my city: the churches that never seem to go dark, with candles flickering at every corner.
The retro interiors & mosaic details you only notice when you slow down & look around. Ohhh & all the bites along the way!
This is the Athens I wake up to & I'm still not over it. 🤍 by @eleniflor

Tablecloths flapping, olive oil on everything, hours disappearing into the Aegean.

Enjoy the weekend 🧿 by @eleniflor

Puglia, a retrospective 🇮🇹

Every single km was worth it.
Fairytale trulli in Alberobello, sea-soaked Polignano a Mare, baroque Lecce, sleepy Monopoli, whitewashed Locorotondo.
Slow mornings, long lunches & detours we didn't know we needed.
A few years later and I'd still do it all again.

End of October on the Athens Riviera 🌊

When the crowds have moved on, that's exactly when I love this gorgeous stretch of coast most.
Wake up to nothing but endless blue from my balcony while the sea is mine to wander into every morning. I swim & also do my laps in a pool that feels like a private retreat. Everything tastes better with that view, including every meal at the hotel's restaurants.

📍 Divani Apollon Palace & Thalasso @divaniapollonthalasso by @eleniflor

No hype, no big names, no signboards; just tiny dots on the map where life moves at its own quiet pace.
From the isolated outer edges of the Aegean to quiet corners in the Ionian, being able to anchor in these remote spots & just exist in the silence feels like pure privilege.
So grateful to have experienced the raw side of these seas.

One quiet harbor holds the sea, the stone & the art ⚓️🌊 Start at the water, wander into the gallery, end at the table.
The stone paths take you the whole way.

📍Hydra island

Best Island in Europe according to the Condé Nast Traveller Readers' Choice Awards 2026

It took me far too many years to get back here, but the second that Atlantic air hit, the magic came rushing back.
Lisbon hasn’t lost an ounce of its charm; some places just sit patiently, waiting for your return.

Whole days spent taking in the sights, admiring the kaleidoscope of tiles coating every building & hunting through the flea market stalls. Warm pasteis were an absolute non-negotiable (ate them at every conceivable opportunity). Dinners ended the best way possible: fresh seafood, pours of great Portuguese wine & the city glowing amber as evening settled in.
Note to self: never let this much time pass again. 🇵🇹🍷✨

October but make it summer ☀️

If there’s water, I’m swimming; season doesn’t matter.
Discovered a gorgeous new coastal haven near Athens last weekend (📍Vravrona) sitting just a short distance from a magnificent ancient sanctuary dedicated to goddess Artemis 🏛️

Welcome to island life 🌊

📍Halki, Dodecanese 🇬🇷 by @eleniflor

Kastellorizo in late autumn hits different. Sunlight washing over rows of bright pastel houses, the surreal electric blue inside the blue cave & November swims in water so warm it makes you forget what month it actually is.
There's just something about this tiny island that keeps pulling me back.

Last boat of the season ⚓️

The captain says it's the final run before the boats go quiet for winter.
Just us, an empty deck & Petalioi islets drifting past one by one.
Uninhabited rock, wild pine & water so glassy you could see the anchor resting on the bottom.
We stopped wherever looked good, jumped in, & let the wind whip us on the way back without a single care.
