Greece, Corfu - A Historical Beauty Spot of Paradise.

Travelling is something I've never really experienced. I've been to Devon a lot, Scotland once and Wales a few times and to Turkey twice but that's it. I've always had a fear of flying - you've all heard the horror stories and my dad used to always watch Aircrash Investigation so my fears only increased haha! Also, mental health struggles prevented me from living and experiencing many things in life. I wasted my teen years on being sick and mentally ill - I couldn't help being sick but it's the truth. But this year I had an epiphany. What if I could fight my fears of change and flying? What if I could actually witness the beauty of the world with my own eyes and not through someone elses Instagram? I never thought I'd do it but I was sick of not having a good time and not having memories. So, me, Rachel and our lovely mum went to Corfu together. It was the perfect place to go. It wasn't too far away (only three hours on the plane) and the views are just mesmerizing - the beauty of the clear blue seas, the white caves, the culture... the island of Corfu seemed idyllic and I wanted my first holiday abroad in over five years to be in Greece. 

Now, it's safe to say that I'm completely besotted with the place, in fact me, Rachel and my mum are all in love with Greece. The culture, the absolutely lovely people, the incredible sights... not to mention my new found love for Greek Mythology! My dad actually studied Greek Mythology in University for a year. I'm obsessed with all things mythical so it makes sense that I love reading about the historical Greek myths. We took a boat to Paxos and went inside Poseidon's cave - God of the Sea. I encourage everyone to get into Greek mythology, it's fascinating!

I hope you enjoy all the photos in this post! I've included photos from our boat trip to Paxos and Anti-Paxos which isn't too far from Corfu. The waters were so clear and the island looked like something from a fairy tale.

We stayed in the four star hotel Aquis Sandy Beach and it was amazing in there. It was the most lavish place I've ever stayed in to be honest! We went all inclusive so we took advantage of the opportunity to eat as much Greek food as possible! I've now discovered I really like Greek salad - feta cheese is just delicious. But the hotel had a wide variety of food to chose from so everyone can find something to enjoy. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were just my favourite times of the day - somethings never change - even when in Corfu :) When we went to Paxos, we found the loveliest cafe and had crepes, nutella and ice cream! I would of took a photo but come on, I couldn't wait to stuff my face with crepes!

One of the best parts of staying at Aquis Sandy Beach was that the hotel is literally on the beach! and the beach is absolutely gorgeous. The sand is soft and golden and the sea was so blue. It was amazing. I could of happily of stayed in the hotel grounds the whole week as there were three pools, daily exercises classes, a spa/beauty treatments and there was even a gym! It was like a little town inside the hotel, there were shops, a hairdressers and a jewelry shop too! It was incredible.

Now as I'm sitting back at home writing this, I haven't really got the holiday blues. Why? because I know for certain that I'll never deprive myself of travelling again. As we speak, we're already planning our next holiday for later this year and I'm already so excited! I always thought you'd need tons of money to be able to go away but this holiday cost us £300 per person - how amazing is that?!

I might have the travel bug now but Corfu will always have a very special place in my heart.
