St Paul’s Bay & Mikros Gialos Beach, Lindos

Published on November 11, 2025March 30, 2026 by VictoriaLeave a comment

When we think back to our time in Lindos, one of the places that really stayed with us was St Paul’s Bay. Just below the whitewashed village, this small, horseshoe-shaped cove is one of the prettiest spots in all of Rhodes.

It’s where golden sand meets calm turquoise water, framed by rocky cliffs and overlooked by the Acropolis of Lindos above. And tucked inside the bay are two lovely beaches – Mikros Gialos Beach, lively and social, and Agios Pavlos Beach, smaller and more peaceful beside the chapel.

We didn’t have time for a full beach day here, but after passing the bay twice on our way to and from Lindos, we knew it was somewhere we’d love to return to.

T-Veg Review: Vegan Lunch & Dinner With Rooftop Lindos Views

Published on November 11, 2025November 11, 2025 by VictoriaLeave a comment

When we first planned to revisit Rhodes, I already knew I wanted to spend more time in Lindos. Not only to wander its maze of whitewashed streets and soak up the views, but also to find somewhere we could all enjoy eating together as a vegan family.

That’s how we discovered T-Veg – an entirely vegan restaurant right in the heart of Lindos, serving everything from plant-based Greek classics to smoothie bowls and pastas.

It quickly became one of our favourite places on the island. So much so that we went twice – once for lunch in the sunshine, and again for dinner under the glow of the Acropolis.

Read on for my T-Veg review, full of delicious suggestions and photos of our food and the amazing Lindos rooftop views!

Wandering The Streets Of Lindos, Rhodes

Published on November 11, 2025November 26, 2025 by VictoriaLeave a comment

On our recent family holiday to Rhodes, we spent time exploring one of the island’s most famous and picturesque spots – Lindos. Last year, we only passed by it by boat, gliding past the coastline from St Paul’s Bay on our way to Navarone Bay aboard the Hippo Submarine.

From the water, Lindos looked beautiful, stacked white buildings beneath an ancient acropolis on the hilltop. I knew then I wanted to return and explore it properly on foot one day.

Exploring Seven Springs (Epta Piges) in Rhodes: Waterfalls, Wildlife & The Tunnel Walk

Published on November 5, 2025November 5, 2025 by VictoriaLeave a comment

On our recent family holiday to Kolymbia in Rhodes, we decided to visit a place called Seven Springs, or Epta Piges in Greek. I’d seen it mentioned when planning our trip but somehow forgotten about it until a waitress in Rhodes Old Town reminded me.

She asked where we were staying, and when I told her Kolymbia, she said, “Oh, have you been to Seven Springs? It’s nearby.” That was all the reminder I needed.

Back at our villa in Kolymbia, we looked it up on the map and realised it was just a short drive away, tucked into the foothills of the Tsambika mountain range. It was too close to miss.

Exploring Rhodes Old Town: Thoughts, Photos & Videos of This Incredible Medieval City

Published on November 4, 2025November 18, 2025 by VictoriaLeave a comment

On our October trip to Rhodes, we finally made it to one of the places that had been at the top of our list since our first visit in 2024 – Rhodes Old Town.

Last year, during our one-week family holiday in Kolymbia, we ran out of time to explore the island’s capital. With school half term limiting our stay and wanting to balance pool and beach days with sightseeing, we simply couldn’t fit it in.

So when we returned to Rhodes in 2025, we had a list of must-sees ready. Right at the top was the ancient walled city – a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the oldest continuously inhabited medieval town in Europe.

Exploring Mousehole in Cornwall: My Rainy Walk & Travel Photo Diary

Published on September 9, 2025September 18, 2025 by VictoriaLeave a comment

Mousehole is often described as one of the prettiest villages in Cornwall, with its sheltered harbour, narrow granite streets, and traditional cottages. Just a short distance from Penzance, it’s a popular spot for a day trip, coastal walk, or a wander through its galleries and cafés.

On our recent weekend away to Clowance Estate, we headed to Mousehole for the first time. The weather wasn’t on our side, with heavy rain turning our visit into more of a damp dash than a leisurely stroll.

Even so, we discovered plenty of charm — from the restored tidal pool and harbour views to the memorial gardens and quirky allotments — and left with plans to return on a sunnier day, or perhaps at Christmas to see the famous harbour lights.
