When your best friend asks you to be her bridesmaid it is one of the most privileged things a friend could ask you to be a part of in their special day! When she told me the wedding was going to be a destination wedding I was even more excited especially when she reviled it would be in Santorini Greece which I had never been to before. I went with my mum in July 2012 nearly 5 years ago now (Instagram wasn't even a thing back then). It is still one of my top 5 favourite places to travel to. I remember having my evening meal on the cliff side watching the sunset over the white architecture while spending quality time with my mum it was amazing. We stayed in a hotel just 10 minutes walk away from the main town called 'El Greco Hotel' very recommended and when ever I look at staying there again it is always fully booked so book early :) The wedding was spectacular also one of my favourite weddings I have been to. The weather was hot especially in July so make sure you take your UV protection and some cooling spray! The food in Greece is one of my favourites. All the ingredients were fresh and who doesn't enjoy a Greek Salad? With the hot weather I enjoyed plenty of fish, fresh fruit and salad. My favourite places to eat were always on the cliff side watching the sun set. Me and my mum would walk back to the hotel and have the strongest mojitos iv ever had .. they were full of sugar but we loved them and plus the bar was right next to our room couldn't say no :) From the restaurants we could watch people riding donkeys down the steep cliff edges to the bottom. I never did it myself as I felt sorry for the donkeys although there probably use to it. Walking around the town of Thira was so breath taking. All the windy narrow cobbled streets with boutique shops.
I plan to visit Santorini asap and would love to see more of the island and the different towns. I would love to travel more around Greece. If anyone has any favourite Greece recommendations please comment below xx
