📍 Iraklia,Small Cyclades,Greece 🇬🇷

Visiting Iraklia is like stepping into another world, where time slows down and nature takes the lead. Whether you're hiking, dining on local delicacies, or just soaking up the sun, this island promises pure relaxation away from the crowds.

Ready to Escape the crowds? The time has come to disembark in Iraklia!

If peace and quiet are your travel must-haves, Iraklia is calling your name! Tucked away in the Small Cyclades, this island is the perfect antidote to the busy tourist hotspots like Naxos and lately Koufonisia. With a short summer season and limited accommodations, it remains a tranquil haven untouched by the usual tourist rush.

Getting There:

Hop on a ferry from Athens and enjoy a scenic 7-8 hour journey, or spice up your trip with a pit stop in Naxos before catching the legendary Express Skopelitis.

Where to Stay:

Settle in Agios Georgios, where villas perched on hills offer breathtaking views of the sea and nearby islands. It's the perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploring.

What to Do:

You might not even need a car here most attractions are within walking distance. Hike through scenic trails, uncover hidden coves, or simply kick back and enjoy the unspoiled beauty around you. -

A Taste of Iraklia: Foodies, rejoice! Indulge in local specialities like fava beans and fresh calamari at Akathi. For a meal with a view, Perapanta by Livadi beach is a must, and don't forget to start your day with coffee at the charming Melissa café.

Donoussa: Is this Greek Island the Opposite of Mykonos?

Mothers of children’s classmates are a new kind of relationship that appears in a woman’s life after her 30s: It’s like they mark the beginning of a second life, in which you learn not to repeat the mistakes of the first. There is no time for misunderstandings, for competition, for toxicity; you sip on your girlfriends’ love with a large existential straw.

In the last few years, I have been traveling to Donoussa along with these friends and our daughters. It has become an unwritten law for us to leave the men behind in July and travel to the island to honor our friendship, and to remind ourselves of what women can do when they are together: How effortlessly they laugh, how easily they cry after their second Aperol on the beach, how they hold each other by the hand like girls, how they go back to their teenage physical alertness that pushes them to frantically climb from Livadi to Mersini – with a small stop at Pigi.
