HELLO FROM PAROS!!

It’s official…I’ve fallen in love with this island and in a few hours I’m going to have to leave and I truly feel like I might cry (only a few destinations have ever made me feel that way).

There’s something about this effortlessly enchanting island and its mountainous hills dotted with white homes that completely captures you. The towns are charming, the waters are so clear you can see straight through them and around every corner there are magical places like this. The crowds here feel more international which I adore and I’ve already made friends from France, Morocco, Belgium, and Ireland (SCORE!).

Paros is smack dab in the middle of the Cyclades, the group of islands that includes Santorini and Mykonos, and has quickly grown in popularity in recent years. While I adore Santorini and Mykonos and feel that both are certainly worth visiting at least once, in your life, I feel like Paros is an island I can come back to year after year.

I can’t wait to put together my guides and videos from this portion of the trip so you can see just how stunning this destination truly is. Oh, and if a girls trip to Greece in 2022 sounds like something you’d be interested in, I highly suggest getting your name on my Gals Abroad Group trip newsletter ;) Click here to get on the list.

TRAVEL

  1. In Greece, It’s Almost Normal - I have to say it’s felt REALLY incredible to be traveling again. A big part of that was feeling safe and comfortable while exploring and interacting with other travelers in Greece. While mask mandates are loosening and curfews are being lifted - Greece

  2. Even celebs know Greece is where it’s at! Justin Bieber ate dinner at the same restaurant Linda and I dined at in Naousa on Paros. Tom Hanks has a home on Antiparos and the day before we arrived was seen having dinner with Paul McCartney at Barbarossa in Naousa. Demi Moore & the fam are in Santorini. Goldie Hawn is living her best Mamma Mia life. And I’m over here wondering why I didn’t get invited on any of their yachts haha.

  3. 7 Tips for traveling to Europe right now from people who just went

  4. How to Tackle International Flight Requirements without Getting Overwhelmed

  5. How to Expedite Your U.S. Passport Application - for anyone wanting to get to Greece ASAP now lol

CURRENTLY OBSESSING OVER {GREECE TRAVEL STAPLES}

  1. THESE VALENTINO ROCK STUD LOOKALIKES - high heels and Greece do not mix so I love to wear a pair of elevated gladiator sandals that work day and night when I’m wanting to dress up a look. I wore these sandals virtually every day and now they’re on sale and come in a few different colors!

  2. THE ONLY SUNSCREEN I WEAR - I learned the hard way when it comes to the importance of reapplying sunscreen in Greece lol. This is my FAVORITE clean brand of sunscreen I’ve been wearing for years. I use this for my face, this for my body and this powder to reapply during the day.

  3. MY NEW FAV SUNNIES - I always bring WAY too many sunglasses on vacation (options right?!) but this trip the only pair I reached for every day were these. They come in a ton of different colors and lens tints and the polarized ones are on sale RN!

  4. HEAD SCARFS (ALL OF THEM) - I love wearing colorful headscarves to keep my hair in check while out on the water or when things get windy. While the ones I have are a mix of vintage and new my FAVORITE brand of colorful silk scarves are from Johnny Was.

  5. MY TRAVEL HAT - I never travel without at least 2-3 hats, they’re a staple for me. This time I brought this dark coral Brixton Straw hat (now on sale) and this extremely EXTRA hat (which is now out of stock but here’s one by the same designer that’s almost the same).

HAPPY ENDING (AKA SOMETHING I FOUND FUNNY THIS WEEK)

So…News Flash…Greece is hot in the summer and right now they’re going through a heat wave lolz so here’s a compilation of all the things me and Linda have said about the heat.
