Just a five minute boat ride from the dock of our hotel @bluepalaceresort in Plaka, Crete, Spinalonga was originally a Venetian fortress in the 16th century. It was a leper colony for the first half of the 20th century. Not only is it an interesting place to explore for its history, there are fantastic views all around from the top. #triptogreece #crete #greece #plaka #cretanhistory #greecetravel #greecestagram #travelgram #historiclandmark #ontheboat #travelblogger

Crete’s beautiful wine country. For those visiti Crete’s beautiful wine country.

Care for a stroll through the old town district of Care for a stroll through the old town district of Seville, Spain? We did a lot of walking around this city during our three day visit. Just wondering … do you notice anything a little unusual in the photo? Hint: it has something to do with attire. I didn’t notice when I took the pic, just now as I was posting. #seville #sevillespain #sevilla #sevillagram #andalucia #spain #españa #travelblogger #traveleurope #europe #europeantravel
Sometimes my travel dreams take me back to special Sometimes my travel dreams take me back to special moments in beautiful places like this one from six years ago today. Instead of going out to dinner, we decided to spend a quiet evening enjoying @estevillas Casa del Lago, a lovely cottage right on the shore of Lake Maggiore, Italy. Sounds of thunder added a dramatic effect to this beautiful location that would be our home for the next few days. I knew it would be hard to leave. #beautifuldestinations #travelblogger #lagomaggiore #lakemaggiore #italy #lombardia #holidayvilla #italianvacation #discoveritaly #loveitaly❤️ #europeandestinations #traveldreaming
