Honestly, I don't have the words to describe how wonderful the whole thing was. We went to Greece and we were connected with Rebecca from Grecian Lux. From beginning to end, the entire trip was flawless. I went with a friend and we wanted to ensure that our friendship remained intact, so we wanted to be on the trip and not have to think about anything. Rebecca took care of it all, and even dealt with our tourist brains when we messaged her with questions we should already have known. She was wonderful. I can't recommend her enough!

SO wonderful. The staff treated us like family from the moment we arrived. Our room wasn't ready so they gave us complementary wine and a sampling of Greeks finger foods while we waited at the pool. On checkout we were gifted a bottle of wine from their vineyard. The staff work so hard, and such long hours, but they were so amazing the whole time and you'd never know how hard they work!

It's the perfect place for a romantic getaway - if you're looking for action I would recommend staying in town, but that's not what this hotel is for. It's a quiet oasis.

Simply beautiful. The room was a bit tiny, but the view made up for it. The pool is glorious, and the staff were so helpful.

We were in awe the second we saw the room, and I had to post photos of the room from the second we arrived. Simply magnificent.

We had low expectations because people had said Athens didn't have much to offer, so we only booked two nights and then wished we had longer!

One of the hightlights of our trip. It ended up a private tour with our guide Theo who took us to an array of interesting, local and hidden places, and ended with us on a rooftop overlooking the Parthenon at night. It was just magical. Would recommend this to anyone who visits.

It's such a large island that we definitely want to go back to do more exploring.

There is a LOT to see here, and Google maps got us lost a few times. I would definitely recommend leaving earlier than we did and spending less time at beaches in order to enjoy more of the scenery. But driving in Greece is so stressful. We cheered that we didn't die when we arrived back at the hotel haha.

The yacht was beautiful, and the service was amazing. Delos is worth seeing, but it's HOT so be prepared with light clothing. You can't swim around Delos, so we had to wait until Rhenia in order to cool off. The wine was flowing and amazing though. :)

We went to Super Paradise Beach to Jackie O's because we heard so many great things, and yes it's beautiful, but the prices were simply outrageous. We went to Elia beach the following day and THAT was definitely worth the lowered prices. The beach is more expansive, and the options plentiful. And it's less expensive by far than Jackie O

The staff were incredible, and this was the ONLY boat experience we had where they did a little history along the way. They also had a contest while we were aboard to win a bottle of wine for best photo on IG...and we won! The staff cooked some of the most incredible food on a BBQ on the back of the catamaran. It made other trips pale in comparison.

The highlight of our tour. It was a private tour for my traveling partner and myself. Lazarus picked us up and took us to all the best places on the island, and some hidden gems as well. He's very knowledgable, knows so many people on the island, and he used our phones to take our photos and when I say that they look magasine worthy, I'm not kidding. Simply magnificent. The winery sampling was an amazing experience, and then taking us to the highest point on the island was worth the view!
