Inattendu

Perched above the historic town of Lagos, Casa Mae Lagos spans three distinct buildings, weaving local heritage with modern elegance. At its heart lies a flourishing organic garden, cultivating the fresh produce that brings the kitchen’s authentic flavours to life. Quite simply, the ultimate sanctuary to gracefully extend those golden summer days.☀️💙

What I love most about our ensuite bathroom: the plush bedroom carpet and the rounded built-in cabinets. So soft and cozy ☁️

32°C outside 🥵, 22.5°C in here 🙃. Easily the coolest place in town, quite literally.

I used to think marble wasn’t really my thing - until now.
Maybe it’s the summer heat and a craving for cool, smooth stone. Or maybe it’s just the quiet magic of Vert d’Estours, I simply can’t get enough of it.

Originating from the Pyrenees, this marble is a masterclass in texture: a delicate green veining set against a warm, butter-toned background. It brings an effortless, organic cool to any space without feeling heavy.

Surprise, surprise: I am officially a sunflower fan - or at least a fan of this particular arrangement I put together. Never say never!

There’s a quiet magic about Serifos, this simple, rugged, and wonderfully overlooked gem. It’s small - you can drive around the whole island in about 45 minutes - but it has a way of instantly grounding you and bringing you back down to earth.it has a way of instantly grounding you and bringing you back down to earth. Thanks to strict conservation laws, there are no mass-resorts here – just a laid-back, authentic soul filled with local artisans and quiet charm.

*See & Do* 👀

The Chora:
Perched high on the hill, it’s a picturesque maze of white-washed buildings draped in wisteria. Hike the ancient path up from the port if you want to earn your view (it’s a workout, but trust me, it’s worth it).

*Food & Drink* 🥄🍷

:
Incredible, creative Greek dishes in the heart of Chora.

Petrias:
A must-visit all-day café and tavern. It’s part village hub, part mystery store (you can literally grab dinner and some drain cleaner in the same spot).

Stefanakos Tavern:
The ultimate beachside spot for fresh seafood and classics.

*Stay* 🛌
Perma_Serifos:
An intimate, relaxing retreat that is all about shifting gears and slowing down.

*Beaches* 🏖️

Psili Ammos:
Sandy perfection with calm, crystal-clear blue water, close by is Stefanakos Tavern.

Paralia Agios Sostis:
A protected cove with great rocks for jumping into the sea.

Kalo Ampeli:
A secluded treasure. It requires a bit of a hike to reach, but the effort pays off the second you arrive.

There is a quiet, rugged magic to Serifos — a place delightfully overlooked by the world. It is a small, intimate island and at its heart sits the Chora, a white-washed labyrinth perched atop the hill.

Our home away from home was Perma Serifos Perma_Serifos, the absolute definition of „quiet luxury.“ Our residence was a seamless blend of indoor elegance and outdoor bliss, but it was the mornings that stole the show: waking up to an uninterrupted, panoramic view of the sea right from the comfort of our bed.

Between the private infinity pool, the sprawling outdoor kitchen, and the total silence that envelops the property, it was the ultimate lesson in slowing down. At night, with nothing but the stars above and the gentle sound of the Aegean, it felt as though we had the entire island to ourselves.

For those seeking inspiration, peace, and that rare, authentic Greek charm, this is your place.

We kicked off our honeymoon in Athens with a classic case of the sniffles.

But between naps and tea, we found the magic.
Athens highlights so far:

Stay:
Ace Hotel & Swim Club Athens A peaceful escape from the city heat with the best swim club to nurse a cold.

Dinner:
ΛΙΝΟΥ ΣΟΥΜΠΑΣΗΣ ΚΑΙ ΣΙΑ Contemporary Greek cuisine that actually lives up to the hype. If a restaurant offers ci******es after dinner and has this kind of interior, you stay.

Shop:
Mouki Mou Athens Minimalist heaven. If I could pack the whole store in my suitcase, I would.

Next stop 📍: Serifos!
