Back to Blue Sand

It was 2018 when we visited Blue Sand boutique Hotel and Suites in Folegandros for the first time. You can see my blog post from that first visit here. Two years passed by. We felt an urge to go back, so this September we did.

Blue Sand boutique Hotel and Suites never stop to surprise us and never fail to meet our greatest expectations! Although it was our second visit, there were new things to explore and new memories to be made. For instance, one day during our stay, the team of the hotel organized a private boat tour for us. We swam in crystal clear waters and explored countless secret coves and beaches that were only accessible by boat. The yacht can be privately chartered for a day or half day, so consider this activity if you plan to visit Folegandros island.

Back to Blue Sand: Makarias Villa in Folegandros

One night we stayed at the luxury Bohemian villa of Blue Sand. It is called Makarias villa and it is located in the more quiet area of Ano Meria. This villa is perfect for those who would like some more privacy when staying in Folegandros, combined with great rustic Folegandros design and beautiful views.

Despite the global pandemic that has affected the tourism industry severely, and despite the fact that it was September (low season for Greek summer), Blue Sand was fully booked, which is a proof of how amazing this place is and what good work Katerina and her team do at Blue Sand.

I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve been to Santorini. Despite that, everytime I land on this island, it feels like the first time. I am always in awe, unable to make any decent thought or utter any decent word. It takes a few hours to realize what is happening to me and after that short phase (that you may want to describe as an emotional shock, yet a good one), I am OK again.

Whatever people may say about this island, Santorini is and will be a breathtaking place, an island of unparalleled beauty. And you cannot find this beauty anywhere else in the world…

From Vienna to Santorini

The reason I wanted to fly direct from Vienna to Santorini is because I wanted to avoid the airport of Athens and Athens as a city itsself. I wanted to take a flight that brings me directly to the Cyclades. I wanted to avoid the hassle of Athens by any means. Thanks to Wizz Air, that was possible. 2 hours flight and I was in paradise!

This year you won’t see me traveling around the world. That’s also one of the reasons I tried to spend most of my summer in Greece. There were no travel restrictions between Austria and Greece during the summer. Greece is a safe place for me. Just in case a lockdown would force me to stay in Greece, that wouldn’t be a problem for me.

I asked my Instagram followers if they are afraid to travel during the pandemic. 58% voted for Yes, and 42% voted for No. I can completely understand that fear. But still, my lust for life and for adventure is also that big that doesn’t allow me to stay within the four walls of my little apartment (aka my shoe box) in Vienna. Wizz Air created a video, which I personally find pretty cool, explaining in detail the enhanced hygiene measures that ensure the health and safety of its passengers and crew. Watch it here.
