As the Greek Islands continue to hover at the top of many travel lists, I find myself drawn to exploring the more ‘local’ islands: ones that offer a mix of incredible food, sandy beaches, local culture, and boutique hotel stays. Sifnos caught my eye a few years back during our trip to Folegandros. It offers a similarly laid-back Greek island...]]>

Where to Stay in Athens: Best Local Neighborhoods & Hotels https://finduslost.com/where-to-stay-athens-neighborhoods-hotels/ https://finduslost.com/where-to-stay-athens-neighborhoods-hotels/#respond Sat, 13 Sep 2025 22:26:05 +0000 https://finduslost.com/?p=24703 The stylish interior of Mona Athens boutique hotel

Athens is a unique blend of opposites: ancient marble structures lie among busy residential streets, while century-old family tavernas sit steps away from tourist-trap restaurants. Most travelers to Athens end up basing themselves in Plaka or Monastiraki for convenience, but these neighborhoods are fairly overrun by businesses catering solely to tourists. After multiple trips to Athens, and some learning experiences...]]>

The Complete Naxos, Greece Travel Guide https://finduslost.com/naxos-greece-travel-guide/ https://finduslost.com/naxos-greece-travel-guide/#respond Wed, 20 Aug 2025 18:06:08 +0000 https://finduslost.com/?p=23130 The view from Naxos' temple of Portara (Temple of Apollo) at sunset looking back at Chora main town

Updated for 2026 with current hotel recommendations, restaurants, and travel tips. Naxos is the largest of the Cycladic islands, and one of its most underrated. With nearby Paros getting a lot of recent attention, and neighboring Mykonos and Santorini making for easy ferry transfers, Naxos is a great pick if you’re looking for a quieter, more authentic Greek island experience....]]>

Updated for 2026 with current hotel recommendations, restaurants, and travel tips. Paros has become increasingly popular in recent years since we first visited during this Greek island hopping trip; it was initially recommended to us as a ‘foodie’ island. Naoussa town in particular attracts visitors seeking both authentic Greek charm and cosmopolitan amenities. Paros is incredibly diverse: this crowd-pleasing island...]]>

Tinos: Traditional Villages, Beaches and Hidden Gems https://finduslost.com/tinos-greece-best-beaches-villages/ https://finduslost.com/tinos-greece-best-beaches-villages/#comments Wed, 02 Jul 2025 07:12:28 +0000 https://finduslost.com/?p=22944

When I first learned of Tinos, I was surprised no one had recommended it to me before. Just a 15-minute ferry ride from Mykonos, Tinos remains relatively undiscovered: quieter, more authentic, and dotted with traditional villages that feel worlds away from its famous neighbor. After 10 days exploring hidden corners and uncovering one gem after another, Tinos has become one...]]>

Updated for 2026 with current hotel recommendations, restaurants, and travel tips. Folegandros, Greece is a hidden gem conveniently close to Santorini yet wonderfully less visited.

Whether you’ve traveled to the Mediterranean or are daydreaming of a trip there soon, the island of Mykonos is worth grabbing a swimsuit and boarding the next plane to Greece for.

Zakynthos Island, also known as Zante, is one of the most diverse Greek islands I’ve visited. The southern tip near Vasilikos is lined with sandy beaches and local restaurants tucked among groves of trees. The main port, Port of Zakynthos, where most visitors arrive by boat or plane, is lively and packed with shops and restaurants along the coast. Inland,...]]>
