Summer days - when your only worry is whether to c Summer days - when your only worry is whether to choose jacuzzi, pool or beach ๐Ÿ˜‚โ  โ  Seriously this trip wouldnโ€™t be the same if we hadn't stayed at @meandrosboutique .

For me, itโ€™s just incomparable level of privacy and comfort to have my own pool and terrace area in my hotel room. โ โ  โ โ  The master suite was very spacious, had two separate rooms, both with direct access to the swimming pool and a comfy sitting area ๐Ÿ˜โ โ  โ โ  Also, once you have a private pool, you can order floating breakfast!โ  (check my previous posts ;))โ

The bar is located on top floor of Diana Hotel @dianagrouphotels @meandrosboutique
Itโ€™s been a few years since I was planning to vi Itโ€™s been a few years since I was planning to visit Zakynthos. My last trip to the island was with my parents when I was only 14 years old. I still remember the excitement I felt when I saw a wild sea turtle, I still feel the taste of delicious Greek salad we had, the suprise of water color, and I still hear the sound of broken plates in a typical Greek taverna. Needless to say, I had a blast. So, this year I decided, itโ€™s the highest time to travel to Greece and to revisit Zante. โ โ  โ โ  To be honest, I had no doubt where to stay in Zakynthos. I had my eye on @meandrosboutique for a while now, particularly because itโ€™s an adults-only boutique hotel (hello peace and quiet my friend ;)) and it offers rooms with private pools and floating breakfast (see it in my previous post)! โ โ  โ โ  I canโ€™t imagine a better place for a romantic couple stay on the island! โ โ

By the way guys, @daphneskopelos has incredibly romantic personal story on how she met her husband in Skopelos, decided to stay on the island and start wedding planning business. Ask her and I am sure she will tell you the whole story ๐Ÿ˜Šโ

I was jealous of how confident they seemed. So, I went to a shopping mall and bought myself a thong bikini too (this one is from @hunkemoller ). โ  โ  And you know what? I love it so much I can't stop wearing it! โ  โ  Are you team bikini or one piece swimsuit?โ  ๐Ÿ‘™๐Ÿฉฑ โ  Btw this picture was taken at beautiful Velanio beach on Skopelos. To get to this beach you need to walk until the end of Stafilos beach and find a small path that leads to another side of the coast.
