If you follow me on Instagram, you will probably know that I have recently come back from a holiday in North Cyprus. My younger sister got married at the Bellapais Abbey in what was a beautiful and perfect day. So we had a lovely family holiday for 10 days. As I mention in my previous travel post North Cyprus | Where We Ate, I took photos not intending to write any specific blog posts but have enough to show you all what we got up to on holiday.
I have actually lost count how many times I have been to North Cyprus as I used to go a least twice a year since I was born. It is where my family are from and a place I call a second home. This visit was planned for my sister's wedding and we had a lovely time relaxing, eating and even a little sightseeing.
There is so much to see in North Cyprus, from the historic ruins of Salamis or the home of an old gangster, Mavi Kosk and a choice of some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. There is something for the whole family.
This time however, we had a large group so we didn't do as much sightseeing as usual. We did however visit a few of my favourite places and went on a boat trip day out, all 28 of us!
Here are just a few of the 100's of photos I snapped on our vaycay to North Cyprus...

It has been two weeks since we have been back from North Cyprus and I still have the holiday blues. We had such an amazing and memorable time with family and friends and not only did I watch my little sister get married I also got to show my babies where their family are from. I will be honest I didn't pay much attention to taking photos for my blog because it was a family holiday and I wanted to be laid back and enjoy every moment instead of stressing about what to take photos of or write about for my blog. Now if you know me you know I TAKE TOO MANY PHOTOS so looking back through my holiday snaps I have enough of them to make a few blog posts haha!
In the last instalment of posts on my holiday to Santorini, this post is all about Places to See.
The majority of this post will be photos as words can not describe the beauty of this island and the mesmerising views it has to offer.
Continuing on from my post Santorini - Our Villa my travel diary continues onto Where to Eat.
I love Greek food it is very similar to Turkish food and growing up eating a variety of Mediterranean dishes it has always been my favourite to indulge in a meaty dish with a side of salad and tzatziki/cacik with warm homemade pitta bread. I have travelled to a lot of the Greek islands and have never been disappointed with the selection of food on offer and Santorini didn't disappoint.
If you follow me on Instagram you may have seen my Insta-stories and posts while I was away visiting the beautiful greek island of Santorini.
I have written up my travel diary in three parts, Our Villa, Places to Eat and Places to See. This post is all about where we stayed, our beautiful Villa in a little village called Vouvolous, just outside the main town of Fira.
I'm a bit late with this post as this trip was in July but better late than never I suppose. This trip was for our 3rd wedding anniversary we had planned to see Lionel Richie in Concert back in March at the O2 in London but for unseen circumstances we couldn't go, I was devastated. So my lovely husband surprised me and booked tickets to see him again..at Edinburugh castle. So he planned a lovely couple of days away for us to Scotland, organising the transport and hotel..well let's just say he did very well. I've never stayed in such a beautiful hotel and for anyone thinking of visiting Edinburugh then do it! Such a beautiful and friendly place, I would love to go back again. Instead of babbling on here is a gallery of photos of our trip away...
