Mykonos, one of the most beautiful places to visit in Greece, is an island part of the Cyclades Island group in the Aegean Sea with breathtaking beaches and a lovely town.
Mykonos is very charming and sophisticated and one of most famous hotspot for parties in Europe (the biggest in Greece). Because of that, the island is full of young people partying all day long, sun seekers and couples enjoying Mykonos’s beautiful scenery and romanticism.
The best way to explore the island is renting a scooter because the public transportation is not that good.
I visited the island in August of 2014 coming by ferryboat from Santorini. The island is really picturesque and undoubtedly one of the greatest places to enjoy the European summer.

Having just returned from a short stay in the stunning Swiss town of Lauterbrunnen, I’m a bit of a drooly, overwhelmed mess. After all, with a head full of dreams carefully planted from years of pining over Lauterbrunnen on Instagram and Pinterest, my expectations were so high I could practically vomit from excitement. The issue? Many of the photos circulating online are actually snapped from drones, which means they’re not real views you can access without spontaneously sprouting wings. So, if you’re like me and have failed at sprouting said wings, I’ve done some groundwork for you! Here are some of my favourite viewpoints and Lauterbrunnen photo spots that I discovered, along with instructions on how to reach them. Best of all? Most of them are very easy to reach, with minimal hiking required (unless you’re craving the workout, in which case I have some options for you). I apologize that these viewpoints don’t have officia...
That road trip you’ve been dreaming of — It’s not going to plan itself! And while I can do all in my power to help you along the way, these apps are the real lifesavers. I’m declaring these the 10 most important apps to download before your next camping road trip. These are the apps I use the most when I’m planning a road trip, and also when I’m in the middle of a road trip. If you’re a planner, you likely get the most use out of these apps during the planning stages, but you’ll want to access all those plans en route as well. If you are more of a spontaneous road tripper, then you’ll find these apps irreplaceable for finding campgrounds, hikes, and cool attractions on the fly. This overview assumes you already have your map app of choice. We love Google Maps for planning miles and times and creating loose overviews of where we’re going, but we actually like Apple Maps better when we’re driving....
Google Maps is my favourite navigation app, but I rarely have an Internet connection when roaming on a trip, so how can I use Google Maps then? It’s a good idea to plan ahead for your journey by downloading maps while you are still on Wi-Fi. Once you have downloaded a region, you can get directions or view points of interest in that area even there is no Internet connection. The downside is that only driving routes are available, there are no walking or cycling directions. You also can’t modify routes like avoiding tolls or ferries. How to save maps to use offline 1. On your phone or tablet, open the Google Maps app. Make sure you’re signed into your Google account. 2. Search for a place, like Paris. 3. At the bottom, touch the bar that has the name of the place you searched. 4. Select Download To get around using your downloaded area, use the Google Maps app just like you normally would. Note: The biggest size for an offline area is 120,000 square kilometers. If you try ...
