Peeking into Awesome Summer House in Mykonos Island



There is something awesome about peeking into a summer home that looks like it was built for relaxation and enjoying the sun. I found this beautiful summer home located in Mykonos Island and had to share it with you! From it’s pristine white exterior to its casual interiors, you will feel like you took a mini vacation. Enjoy!


Summer homes that celebrate the sun and warm weather are the perfect retreat and can make every day an enjoyable escape from the world. This gorgeous home has lovely outdoor areas that incorporate sea vistas everywhere you look. This infinity pool looks like the perfect spot to take a dip or lay next to all weekend long.




I especially enjoy how the outdoors and interiors seem to meld together in this summer home. Weathered wooden floors resemble beachwood that you could find along the shore and the neutral color pallette looks just like beach sand!

Whether you are ready to go decorate your own summer home or you just love getting lost in beautiful interiors, this home in Mykonos Island can surely bring about great ideas. I love how each of these rooms offer a surprise you wouldn’t have expected. These bathrooms both have a treasure within them. From a orange colored vessel sink to a hidden view behind natural reed twigs, this home definitely has it all!

The Amazing Grace Hotel in the Santorini Islands



All images via

If you are looking for the perfect resort hotel in Greece, The Grace Hotel is for you. This five star resort is located in the infamous and picturesque Santorini Islands and is considered a luxury boutique resort hotel.

“With its excellent location in the picturesque village of Imervigli above the Caldera (a centuries-old deep basin created from a sunken volcano), the Grace Santorini offers majestic views of the famous sunset cast across the Aegean sea and the Cyclades Islands as well as a romantic, serene atmosphere for visitors.”… Home Designing.




The Grace Hotel is located in a remote location, 2KM from the capital of the islands Fira, and 8-10KM away from the two closest airports. This allows for guests to truly be pampered in seclusion and feel totally removed from the world’s stresses. In the distance you can see the resort hotel sits facing one of the oldest ruins, Skaros, a rock known for its Venetian castle ruins.




The awe-inspiring infinity pools look so gorgeous; you have to wonder if they’re real! Two swimming pools lie on The Grace property and beautiful black sand beaches are only walking distance away from enjoyment as well. Between the pools and the beaches it will be hard to choose which area will take most of your time for exploring.




Once you visit The Grace Hotel you will have a permanent reservation for wanting to return time and time again. If you thought the exterior of the hotel was breathtaking, take a look at the pristine white interiors!



“The simple, white decor of the interiors mimics the monochromatic style characteristic of the island.” … Home Designing.





The next time you are ready to lose your cares away in a luxury boutique resort, visit The Grace in the Santorini Islands. Once you visit, you will never want to leave paradise!

DON’T CLOSE YOUR DOOR TO GREECE!




Trying to find a subject for my next blog post , I show these photos in a friend’s Facebook page and asked him to borrow them for my next blog post.  Most of these photos are taken by Fotis Papastergiou.
I post them here in order to show to my internet friends that haven’t been to Greece and to remind to the Greeks that live abroad, the beauty of the Greek islands, the bright colors of our sky, the clear blue water in our sea.   
This country is blessed by God …….and it is a pity to be cut to pieces!
