This is what our perfect tour day in Kalymnos looked like 😍🚗✨

Exploring the island, discovering the most beautiful spots, and enjoying every moment 🌊☀️

A big thank you to for making this possible 🤍
The perfect way to explore the island freely and at your own pace ✨

Looking for a cozy restaurant you’ll keep coming back to? 🍷✨

De Bokkesteeg in Santpoort is seriously such a good find. Warm atmosphere, amazing food and one of those places where everything just feels right 🤍

I loved that the menu has a variety of different dishes without being overly huge. You can really tell they’ve thought about the flavor combinations and weekly specials instead of just putting random things on the menu 👀

The salmon special was SO good: perfectly baked salmon with shrimp and lobster sauce 😭
And the spicy shrimp? Definitely ordering those again.

It’s also super easy to reach and parking nearby is really convenient, which honestly makes such a difference for a cozy dinner night out ✨

Now I really want to try their sister restaurant Meierij too because if it’s anything like this, I already know I’ll love it.

Already planning my next visit… 🤍

Okay but this foodtruck… 🤤🌏
We tried Absea this weekend at the ‘Wereldse Smaken’ festival in Zandvoort and it was so delicious 🇻🇳✨

The beste Vietnamese bites, such a cute vibe & honestly the perfect foodtruck for festivals, birthdays or summer parties ☀️🍜

If you spot them somewhere: go.
And if not… you can literally hire them for your own feestje 👀

📍Alga Luxury Suites, Kalymnos

Such a beautiful and relaxing place with everything you need for the perfect getaway 🤍

The location is amazing, close to the beach and super central, so everything is nearby 🌊☀️

We truly loved staying here… peaceful, cozy, and the perfect place to unwind 💛

Definitely a stay we would recommend if you’re visiting Kalymnos 👀✨

We also rented a car at 🚗✨
More about that in another post coming soon 👀🎬
I can’t believe this place is real… 🩵✨

Welcome to Astypalaia, the hidden gem that made me question why everyone is still going to the overcrowded islands. Whitewashed alleys, unreal sunsets, crystal-clear water, tiny cafés, and that soft, slow dream life energy you only see in movies. The kind of place you randomly discover once and stay obsessed with forever. If you’ve been craving an escape that’s authentic & slow life, save this 🤍

And my personal recommendations:
Sleep at 🤍🫶
And rent your car with 🚗💙

#astypalaia #astypalaia_island #authentic #greekisland #greekislands
Roadtripping on Kos hits different… 🚗✨ Endless sunshine, crystal-clear beaches, hidden villages, and that slow island energy you never want to leave behind.

My absolute fave stops on the island: Zia for the most insane sunset views 🌅, Tigaki Beach for those unreal turquoise waters 🩵, the quiet beauty of the vineyards 🍇, Kos Town at night for the cutest food spots + atmosphere, and Mastichari for that laid-back coastal vibe that feels like pure escapism.

Shoutout to the rental car from Kos2travel: honestly made the whole island feel like one big adventure. 🫶

Still so many hidden gems left to explore here… and if you’re looking for specific food recs or things to do, I’ve saved shared lots on my profile so you don’t miss a thing. 👀

You can find out more on this car rental by taking a look at there website: kos2travel.gr

POV: you accidentally found the most unreal hidden gem of the European summer 🤍🇬🇷

4 days on Astypalaia and honestly… this feels unreal.
The cutest whitewashed village, a dreamy castle on top of the hill, electric cars everywhere, zero chaos, and that slow island life that makes you forget what day it is.

Okay but THIS… waking up at Elesia hotel with our own jacuzzi, the softest bed ever, the most aesthetic bathroom, sunset views that look fake and lots to explore ✨

This island is how it should be: quiet, tranquil greek vibes, delicious authentic food, dreamy blue waters & lots to do!

Need to go here before everyone finds out. 🤍
