October 8, 2024

When my husband told me he had an upcoming trip to Baku, I initially brushed off the idea. But then I thought that I must not pass up the opportunity to visit a new place.

With only 2 days available, I wanted to maximize my time in the city. From walking the historic old city to sampling traditional meals, I’ll share my tips for the best two…

Bon Bon Fait Maison Review

June 15, 2023

After I finished my last dessert challenge I was at a loss for a foodie project. So it dawned on me: I would try (almost) every dessert at Bon Bon Fait Maison. And then I’ll write a review. Why Bon Bon you might ask? Its curated selection of items, and creative menu make it the perfect spot to indulge in a little luxury. On top of that it is very close to my work. I always resort there for a post-lunch dessert! A little back story… I discovered Bon Bon in a magazine some 4-5 years ago. I read…

2 days in Pelion (with tips for toddlers)

June 4, 2023

Back in Easter, we spent 2 days in Pelion. This gorgeous region in Central Greece, combines pristine beaches and breathtaking mountain landscapes. That makes it a perfect summer destination. For me though, Pelion is beautiful all year round. I have visited the area many times in the past. I usually stayed in Volos or Portaria. This time, though, we chose to stay Milies. In hindsight it was the perfect location for a family vacation. Now let’s see what we did during our stay in Pelion. I’m also going to share tips for toddlers in the villages that we visited. Explore…

Hasika Rethymno

April 22, 2023

If you’ve been following me for a while you’ve noticed that I haven’t reviewed a restaurant in years. I plan to resume writing such reviews. What I’m changing this time is that I’m going to write about restaurants that I keep returning to. Hasika Rethymno is a restaurant that we visited for the first time back in 2019. We return to this place every time we visit the city, which is twice a year. Hasika’s tagline is “Greece in bites”. Their menu doesn’t have the typical form of salads- appetizers-main courses. It is divided by ingredients: vegetables/ fish/ meat. In…
