The Vasilicos fabulous boutique hotel on the island of Santorini has unbelievable views of Santorini’s caldera harbour. The hotel itself is a unique combination of elegant rooms, superb service and total relaxation. The wine tasting with paired food dishes is ‘quite simply’ unbeatable. Thanks to Artemis for a wonderful introduction to Greek wines. for more on Santorini https://wp.me/p5eFNn-rB @igersgreece @thevasilicos @visitgreecegr @santorini #relaxation #peace #panoramas #caldera #naturalbeauty #joiedevivre #lifeisforliving #experience #joy #fun

The Basilica of Sant’Apollinare in Classe contains some exceptional mosaics dating from the 6th century. The mosaics are Byzantine in style, brightly coloured and filled with light and hope. Part of the Ravenna UNESCO world heritage site. https://wp.me/p5eFNn-3Hz A fascinating story of endurance and luck!!! #myravenna #myravenna2019 #mosaics #roman #byzantium #byzantine #classe #romea #history #art #architecture #grandtourist @educatedtraveller @igersravenna @ravennamosaici #emiliaromagna https://wp.me/p5eFNn-3Hz

I’d forgotten how delightful Delft is - a small canal and a pile of bicycles round every corner. Magical, no wonder Vermeer was inspired here. @igersdelft @kekdelft @visit_holland #delft #holland #canals #bikes #janvermeer #girlwiththepearlearring - road trip thro’ Europe: https://wp.me/p5eFNn-3b
