Rhodes Toy Museum & Retro Arcade Review (Archipolis, Rhodes)

Rhodes Toy Museum Review (& Retro Arcade!)

Published on December 8, 2025December 8, 2025 by VictoriaLeave a comment

On the final day of our family holiday to Rhodes, we found ourselves in that strange travel-day limbo. Bags packed, villa checked out, but hours left before our evening flight. We didn’t want the beach. We didn’t want to get wet or sandy. Everything was packed! We just needed something fun for the kids to pass the time before airports, queues and sitting still took over.

Ben had spotted something unusual on the map a few days earlier. A toy museum. In the middle of the mountains!

Pixel Pop Newquay Review & Photos

Published on November 18, 2025January 23, 2026 by VictoriaLeave a comment

We recently visited Pixel Pop in Newquay for a unique interactive gaming experience using a real pixelated floor and wall. It’s a new tech adventure in Newquay, and we booked it for the kids as soon as we saw it online because it looked like so much fun.

So what is Pixel Pop really like? And is it worth visiting?

In my Pixel Pop review, I’ll share everything about our visit, including how it works, what to expect, our honest thoughts, photos, and a short video showing the experience in action. I’ll also embed some of Pixel Pop’s own posts so you can get a feel for the games and atmosphere.

If you’re thinking about booking, hopefully this helps.

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!

Zen Club Luxury Villas Review, Kolymbia Rhodes: Our Stay At Villa Koan

Published on November 3, 2025November 5, 2025 by VictoriaLeave a comment

If you’ve ever scrolled through villa photos and wondered whether a wide-angle lens is making everything look twice the size, you’re not alone.

That’s exactly what I thought when we booked Villa Koan at Zen Club Luxury Villas in Kolymbia, Rhodes. The villas looked incredibly modern and sleek, but I half expected them to feel a lot smaller in real life.

They didn’t.

When we arrived, we were genuinely amazed. Villa Koan felt even bigger and more impressive than the photos. Everything looked new, fresh and beautifully finished, and from that first step inside, we had the feeling we’d chosen somewhere special.

This review shares exactly what our stay was like, from the late-night arrival and first impressions to the bedrooms, bathrooms, pool, location and who I think this villa is best for.
