After meeting my husband 13 or so years ago, he took me to a really special place his Greek side of the family descended from - a tiny colourful island called Kastellorizo. Known as the easternmost point of Greece and geographically residing closer to Turkey, the island is only 3 km across. It only seemed right to come back here with 40 of our closest friends and family to celebrate our love in 2018.

Most memorable place on the island
The outdoor lounge area of our suite at the Mediterraneo Kastelorizo hotel. Never been so close to your private wild swimming pool.

Most humbling experience
Being treated like one of their own by the genuinely kind locals. Everyone on the island has either lived there their whole lives or has been visiting for years. It is a true hidden gem, unlike anyplace I have been to.

Favourite landscape
The tiny Saint George island, located across the marina. It is nothing but a restaurant, a church, and an especially picturesque rocky beach.

Favourite nature experience
Natural phenomenon that’s the Blue Cave. The sun is reflected inside the grotto, creating an ethereal blue hue. The cave can only be visited under calm sea conditions by boat.
Most unique accommodation
Hotel Mediterraneao, steps away from the water - a bohemian’s dream.
Your favourite photo from the trip
This photo shows off the colours of the island, the unique location of the hotel, and a moment in time we will never forget.
