In July, I took a long overdue vacation to Greece. I’ve been to several places/islands in Greece, and this time I chose Rhodes. Several people had stated to me how fabulous Rhodes is, and they were all right on the button.

After the plan landed, I got my bags and got in the taxi that was waiting to take me to my resort. I stayed at the Lindos Grand Resort Spa which is actually located in Lindos, which is an hour away from the airport in Rhodes.

The resort was brand new and beautiful. The staff was also very friendly and helpful. Covid protocols were also strictly adhered to. I had a room with a private pool, which I HIGHLY recommend. I spent more time at my own pool than at the main pool and at the beach.

The town of Lindos is about a 10 minute taxi ride, which costs between 10-12 Euros. There, you can walk around the picturesque town, which is full of shops, restaurants, and they also have an acropolis. You can walk up to the top or take a donkey ride for €8. But those poor donkeys looked so hot, tired, and overworked, if you can walk, then do that.

Like I stated before, the resort is brand new, so there were some minor things that weren’t fully completed. For instance, there were two light bulbs missing on my terrace. It was minor, and it didn’t bother me at all.

The beach is about a 3 minute walk from the resort. There is a direct path where you can walk, and they also offer a shuttle bus, as well. The beach has food and drink service, and lounge chairs specifically for the resort, which is cool. There are also water sports available.

I literally had a different swimsuit for each day I was there! :-)

The floor to ceiling windows were fabulous. It was very hot, but also a nice breeze. When you opened the doors, the air-conditioning automatically shut off, which was cool.

So, if you’re thinking about a planning a trip to Greece for relaxation and great weather, I would highly suggest the island of Rhodes and Lindos Grand Resort Spa.

The resort had fantastic views, and the aesthetics were great.

Let me know if you’ve ever been to Rhodes, Lindos, and/or Lindos Grand Resort Spa.

Thanks for stopping by. I really appreciate it! XOXO

— Cymbeline Act I, scene vi

LOCATION: Mykonos, Greece

DRESS: Caroline Constas

HEAD SCARF: Claire's

While I was on a yacht sailing to the island of Delos, I had the thought of writing this blog about solo travelling, which I often do. As women, we still get that tired old response of "WHY?!" Why travel alone. As if that even requires a response. That led me to thinking about Shakespeare's play Cymbeline, for some reason. I mean, the shit Imogen had to go through in that play was crazy. From Iachimo's ridiculous generalizations that all women are sluts, to Posthumus' decision to murder his wife he "loves" (Imogen) because he thinks she slept with another man, to Imogen literally having to change her identity to a man because it's the only way for these men to see her for who she truly is. (I mean, come on, P should be grateful that Imogen married him anyway, and look what he turned around and did!) Actually, these are really common Shakespearean themes…… filled with egotistical thoughts about women. Unfortunately, nothing new under this post-dynastic sun….but it's still crazy. Women are still doing/saying/explaining things to justify who we are, who we want to be, look, act ,etc. When in truth, there is no justification ever needed.

MYKONOS. Beautiful island. I went there alone, and had a great time. I'm not a huge party animal, so don't believe all the hype that Mykonos is just for people who want to party till they drop.

Solo travelling is something I'd recommend everyone do. First off, if you're inclined to do something, then do it. You don't have to convince anyone that what you're doing is the right thing. If it's right for you, then it's right.

People think there are these invisible rules you have to live your life by. They believe you have to do things in a certain way just because. If there were rules on how to live YOUR life (because everyone is unique), you would have come out of your mother's uterus holding a life manual. The fact that you didn't should tell you a lot. You don't owe anybody an explanation for doing what is right for you. Someone's opinion, good or bad, does not reflect on you in any way.

This Carolina Constas off the shoulder dress was a perfect choice for the hot, Mediterrean weather of Mykonos. The long, billowy sleeves matched the waves of the Aegean sea, all the while protecting my arms from the unrelenting heat of the sun. The length was great for the yacht as well, still keeping me cool.
