Styria

Pinktrotters is an exclusive global network started from Italy (Mama mia !!) that consists of modern, sophisticated women, always on the move!

This year’s holidays with my girlfriends at Koufonisia were set for late July. A reservation, made long before the referendum, the capital controls and the gray cloud of uncertainty swelled over our heads on the usually blue Attic sky.

Sometimes something happens that you never thought it would happen to you. As that afternoon, that I received in my e-mail box a plane ticket for Brazil and a message to accompany it. “A gift for you, and a greater

“I will take you to a très jolie Parisian corner hidden in the center of Athens” told me my friend Dio, a Greek but for 12 years a glorious Parisian.

When I first heard that there is a village, a few kilometers outside Chania, in Crete, without electricity, something that we take for granted in our Western culture, my curiosity swelled like a balloon!

I visited the island of Sifnos in late June for THE wedding of the year! Not mine, -Thank God! -, the wedding of a friend couple. This trend that marriages are combined with holidays is consistent with my wandering soul.

Ο Μπάλος μοιάζει λες και κάποιο θεϊκό χέρι, τοποθέτησε αυτό το κομμάτι γης σε ακριβώς αυτό το σημείο, στην υπέροχη Κρήτη και το πλαισίωσε με αποχρώσεις του μπλε, εξωτικά υδάτινα μονοπάτια που μαγεύουν με το που τα αντικρίσεις.

Our initial plan was to visit Folegandros in June and Astypalea in July. But sometimes when a man makes plans, God (well… almost) makes them better! The final plan included five destinations: Folegandros, Milos, Serifos, Paros, and Astypalea.

The first (and longest) stop of our island-hopping holiday on the Greek islands this summer, which painted our summer dreams with brilliant blue, was Folegandros. An island, personified by Greek Goddess Artemis.

After Folegandros, our island-hopping journey led us to the enchanting world of Milos, an island that does not look like any other in the Cyclades.

Staying in one of the oldest inhabited cities in the world that has been preserved from the past is a magical experience, but staying in a cave hotel is undoubtedly one of those images and senses that are engraved inside

The scenic Puglia in southern Italy was added recently to my travel bucket list, when some enchanting pictures of places with fairy domes and picturesque houses perched on the rocks have come to my notice.

A failed attempt in the past to visit Vienna at Christmas time, made me want even more this year to explore this city's fabulous Christmas world, even if I had to disguise myself as a Santa's Elf.

Amidst the bavarian Alpine mountains, surrounded by tall trees dressed in the discreet white veil of snow, a majestic castle stands on the hill and looks like it has sprung from the pages of a Disney fairy tale.

Marrakech is a place that either you love or you hate. For an Eastern city on the African continent, you need to adapt your expectations appropriately and get prepared that it does not look at all like Europe.

Με τον ήχο των κυμάτων τελείωνε η μέρα μας και μ' αυτόν ακριβώς ξεκινούσε συνοδεία τζιτζικιών, στο boho-chic Blue Sand Hotel & Suites στην Αγκάλη της Φολεγάνδρου.

Το πρώτο Riad στο οποίο μείναμε στο Μαρακές ήταν το Numa Marrakech, κοντά στη γραφική πλατεία place des épices και το εστιατόριο Nomads.

One day I took the plane and three trains to get to South Tyrol, north of Italy and the San Luis retreat Hotel & Lodges. Forty-two tree houses around a lake, all surrounded by forty hectares of forest.

The second stop of our Riad Hopping led us to La Sultana Marrakech,  a real Riad palace that made me feel like

It's difficult not to love Vienna at Christmas. Those days when the smell of hot wine lingers in the air, the lights give off a fairytale feel and freshly baked Christmas treats make your mouth water.

We were very impatient to experience the third hotel of our Riad Hopping. Tarabel, housed in ancient Medina, near the famous Jemaa el-Fnaa Square and Dar Bacha Palace, is jewel in itself.

In Tampere, in Finland we were lucky enough to stay at Lillan Hotel Café Butik. Housed in an 1886 building with french country decoration.

Three days in a private chalet in Austria were enough for us to reset for the whole year! Pures Leben in Styria is a dream come true in real life.

Amidst alpine peaks and paradise lakes and two steps from the Disney-inspired castle, Neuschwanstein Castle lies a German town full of fairy tales.

Hallstatt has been in my travel dreams ever since I discovered the existence of this beautiful village in Austria through photos by Elia Locardi. I love picturesque villages, especially when they have triangular roofs and snow-capped peaks.

Now if I say I knew St. Anton my nose will grow like Pinocchio's. But it turned out to be the birthplace of alpine skiing, since St. Anton am Arlberg has been welcoming winter lovers for over 100 years.

What impressed me from the first moment in Innsbruck were the colorful houses on the Inn River with the snow-capped Alps on the background. So much beauty, it looked like fake, just as it was lost in the fog of

The latest addition to the decoration of my new home is a gallery wall with what I love from Desenio.
