Our latest SS21 collection is inspired by the incredible Greek island, Mykonos where it smells like summer, joy and escape. It tastes like fresh tomatoes and indulgent Greek salad. The whooshing sound of windmills, strong ocean current hitting the rocks and strolling through the villages surrounded by white cave-like architecture. Mykonos is where we will journey together, even if for a little bit.
Plus bonus guide to Santorini, a place of romantic lovers alike. We highly recommend to stay a few nights on each island to give a different taste and experience.

Nafsika Estate, its sister luxurious villa has some breathtaking views and tranquility beyond compare.
Sail Away in the Mediterranean Sea
When in Greece, sail. Rent a catamaran for the day with friends and family, you will come across leftover volcanic sites and a chance to swim in the Mediterranean Sea. Who would say no to that? The waters are quite chilly in September, so we suggest to bring warm sweaters after swimming.
Hike down to Amoudi Bay
Bay in Greece
We hiked down the steep steps to Amoudi Bay without the help of the mules. Our motivation you may ask? The spectacular views of the boats and delicious sun-dried octopus at bay.
Shop at Speira Concept Store

What's a vacation without shopping? Speira is a concept store in the heart of Oia, the perfect place to shop for Greek memorabilia with a wide array of excellent options from clothes to fridge magnets made by talented artisans.
Hike from Oia to Fira
The 3-hour hike between the famous Greek village, Oia to the capital of Santorini, Fira is quite endearing. From charming houses to the astonishing view of the ocean, you would want to stop at every scenic view such as this one below.
Watch the Sunset Go Down at Oia
It is quintessential to watch the sun sets in Oia. We recommend getting a villa that is closest to the two big windmills to get VIP seats at the tip of your bedroom door. Wine, olives and a wide spread of cheese is the way to go.
Dine at Petrosia Restaurant
Petrosia, Oía 84702
Located in Oia, Santorini, Petrosia has been welcoming quest from all over the world since 1948 when it initially opened as a simple, cozy tavern.

Drink at Tango Champagne & Cocktail Bar
Fira, Santorini, 84700, Greece
We spent our last night in Santorini bar hopping and we started off in the right spot at Fira's Tango Champagne & Cocktail Bar. Dancing underneath the stars that illuminate the summer skies and toasting to all the good times in life and memorable nights.
We wish we can go on and on about Mykonos and Santorini as there are so much to see. Trust us, we wanted to stay for more than 2 weeks the last time we were there!
For those Greek mythology and historical landmark enthusiasts, we suggest you visit Athens as well to give you a well-rounded tour of Greece.
