Summer Travel Plans

Summer Travel Plans

• 8 May 2016

It is officially less than one month till I start my summer travels and I cannot tell you how excited I am. Firstly we are off to Athens. We are only there for for 24 hours, so we won't get to experience much of the city, however top of the list is to visit the Acropolis and to explore as much as we can. We have yet to book our hotel so if you have any recommendations or blog posts on Athens then please do share. 

Then we move onto Santorini for the rest of the week. This beautiful caldera is infamous for its blue and white buildings, its stunning sunsets and amazing food. It has been quite a few years now since I have been to a Greek island, the last being Crete in 2007. When I was younger we used to visit Greece a lot as a family, so it will bring back a lot of childhood memories. I have always wanted to go to Santorini and experience the beautiful little towns, but most of all, I am looking forward to some sun and simply relaxing.

Once I get back from Santorini I am then off to Budapest with my mother. Every year we go on a mother daughter holiday, and last year we went to Prague and fell in love with the city. We then decided that we wanted to travel more of Eastern Europe, and chose Budapest. With its world famous baths, beautiful churches and stunning architecture, its no wonder why more and more people are visiting Budapest.

Lastly, but not yet confirmed, is Indonesia at the end of summer. I have booked the time off work but we have not booked flights or accomodation yet. The main reason for choosing Indonesia is that we want to learn how to dive and have been recommended going to the Gili islands. I have never been diving before so I am a little nervous, but having read into it some more I am actually quite excited. We are then hoping to travel around the islands, relax and explore the beauty that Indonesia is.

What are your summer travel plans?
