Why do I love Parga so much?

It has to be one of the most beautiful coastal towns in Greece. Perfect for a family holiday. It’s slowly being discovered by more people, but it still feels really special. You get beautiful beaches, lovely resorts, crystal clear water and the quaintest Venetian town all in one place.

A few FAQs…

We stayed at

✈️ Travel: Around a 3 hour flight from London. Flights aren’t quite as frequent as some of Greece’s bigger hotspots, but with a bit of forward planning you’ll find some great options.

🏨 Where we stayed: Parga Beach Resort. This is our second visit and there have been loads of upgrades since last year, including a new restaurant and refurbished rooms. This time we stayed in one with a private pool and the kids absolutely loved it.

🏋🏽 Gym: It has a couple of cardio machines, a Smith machine, a cable machine and some free weights, so enough to keep things ticking over. I’d definitely recommend packing your running trainers too because the routes are stunning… just be prepared for some hills.

🍴 Food: The food at the resort is good, but we love hopping on the little riverboat into town (€3 per person, about 5 minutes). There are so many great restaurants, it’s really affordable, and the atmosphere in the evenings is lovely.

🛍️ Shopping: The town has a small shopping area with lots of independent shops. Last year I came home with what must have been about 20 crochet bags!

For kids: The kids’ club deserves a mention. It’s spotless, the team are brilliant and there’s loads for the kids to do.

This is our second time back, and it definitely won’t be our last. If you’re looking for somewhere that feels relaxed, authentic and ridiculously beautiful, Parga is well worth adding to your list

It’s taken me years to proudly wear the evidence of carrying babies. I think I will forever quibble over erasing the stretch marks and loose skin but for now they are proudly on display!

What I eat in a day as working mum of two

I wouldn’t be a millennial mum without right?

I should also add this is what helped me to get photoshoot ready.

The gym saved my life. I know how that sounds, it’s strong but oh so true!

It’s the therapy, the space the daily commitment, I didn’t know I needed until I was already in it.

What’s it given you?

Would you believe me if I said this was all my 6year old daughter’s idea?

One evening she said to me, “mummy you should do an event for your followers to come together” and I thought she’s right. Let’s bring the community together IRL and do something that pours into us. Safe to say it was everything I and my daughter dreamed it would be.

Who’s coming next time?
