We caught up with Hong Kong’s blogger darling Cindiddy as she frolicked in the waters of Santorini and Mykonos, Greece at Grace Santorini and Grace Mykonos and locked her up till she answered all our burning questions – Was it postcard perfect? Did Greek water taste different? Was the sky a different blue? Well, she didn’t exactly give us the Pantone number of the sky, but she did take close to a billion photos, so we may live vicariously through them.
How did you plan your trip?
Most authentic eats at?
Dimitri’s at Amoudi Bay. We had grilled octopus at almost every meal. We still think it was the best there.
Shop till you drop at?
The little ‘market place’ in Oia, Santorini was great. I love wearing the evil eye jewelry and they were selling them everywhere.

Fun, relaxing, exciting, energizing.

The closest to partying with the locals was when I started drinking wine with the waitress at Nammos beach club.
Don’t leave Mykonos without…
Taking as many photos and videos as possible. Snapping at everything you know you want to remember in the future.
7 Greek wardrobe essentials?
Hats. A healthy selection of sunglasses. Bright coloured outfits. Sandals, flip flops, and comfortable shoes to explore the city in. Bathing suits are a must, why not bring one for everyday you’re spending time by the water?
