Frankly, I never thought I’d willingly travel to Vermont in winter. Single digit temperatures are typically not my thing. In fact, I usually consider 50 degrees cold.
However, after experiencing a “fake Christmas” in balmy Palm Beach and Miami in early December, I was ready for a true winter getaway.
Don’t get me wrong; I’m typically all for palm tree living.
Posh Palm Beach Island in South Florida is a favorite amongst fashionistas and celebrities.
While it’s decidedly more upscale than vibrant Miami, it offers just as many brilliant photo opportunities.
If you’re looking to elevate your Instagram feed while in the Sunshine State, you must pay a visit to this uncrowded, fashion-forward resort island.
Here are my top recommendations for where to create Insta-worthy content on Palm Beach Island.
Assos village in Kefalonia, Greece is an Instagrammer’s dream.
This relatively undiscovered paradise offers content creators unique vantage points and plenty of opportunities to stand out on the gram.
You’ll appreciate how easy this uncrowded village is to explore and photograph. Gone are the days of waking up obscenely early or competing with throngs of tourists to capture those Insta-worthy shots.
Assos village literally took my breath away when I first saw it online. Not long after, this picturesque village inspired a second trip to Greece, my favorite country to date.
The idyllic Greek gem is located on a small, horseshoe-shaped peninsula in Northwestern Kefalonia and home to about one hundred inhabitants.
With an air of a bygone age, Assos seduces visitors with lush forests, turquoise waters, colorful homes, and everlasting bougainvillea.
Agia Pelagia is one of the most beautiful fishing villages on the northern coast of Crete, similar to Fiskardo, Kefalonia.
Albeit beautiful, tranquil Agia Pelagia is a bit more limited with excursions compared to Chania, where we began our Cretan journey.
However, this laidback village provides the perfect gateway for exploring Heraklion and Rethymno, two of Crete’s most popular cities.
You won’t have to try very hard to find fun things to do in Chania. There’s plenty to keep you occupied in the second largest city on Greece’s biggest island.
I fell in love with this romantic and colorful Cretan city in just three short days. Between stunning harbor views, delicious Cretan cuisine, and breathtaking beaches, it’s easy to fall under Chania’s spell.
Although Kefalonia is the largest Ionian island, intimate Fiskardo feels remote compared to touristy Santorini or lively Mykonos.
While this storybook village is a far cry from the more popular destinations in Greece, it still has plenty to offer.
Fiskardo Kefalonia is actually a favorite amongst celebrities, including Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks, and Madonna.
After one visit, it was easy to see why this adorable village has stolen hearts with its old-world charm.
Having brunch in Asheville, North Carolina has forced me to reconsider my self-proclaimed “non-foodie” ways. To be clear, it’s not that I don’t appreciate good food, it’s just not typically a priority for me while traveling. You’re more likely to find me photographing fairytale architecture for Instagram, hiking quaint European villages, or gushing over beautiful beaches.
Most Google searches for things to do in Lagos will garner the same results: visit the beaches. Now don’t get me wrong, Lagos beaches are some of the most beautiful in Portugal (and in the world). Don’t just take my word for it; here’s proof that Condé Nast said it first.
To come to the Algarve and not visit any beaches would be doing this area a major disservice.
The Algarve region is home to some of the most unique and beautiful beaches I’ve ever seen. I recently checked out three stunning Lagos Portugal beaches in one of the Algarve’s most popular towns.
If you’re looking for breathtaking coastlines, panoramic views, and plenty of photo opportunities, then the beaches of Lagos will not disappoint.
That said, there’s no such thing as the “perfect beach” for everyone, as it depends on individual taste.
