When in Rome 🇮🇹, do as the Romans do — at least as much as possible, especially during these unusual times: stay local, eat + drink local, shop local… Is @italiait on your bucket list? Have you been? Can’t wait to go? #heartrome #iloveitaly #romaitalia🇮🇹 #travelgram #stillatraveler #italytravel #travel2021 #theroadlesstraveled #traveldeeper #europeinsiders #rome #googlelocalguides #travelbettertogether #traveldifferently #collectingmoments #restarteurope #visiteurope #butfirstcoffee #viagiulia #mamashelterroma #italyexperts
Make sure to come HUNGRY😋to Greece 🇬🇷, especially Crete! Temptations of the culinary kind await you EVERYWHERE with a never-ending spread of unique, mostly homemade traditional and very regional dishes. Sharing Mezze or Meze with family or friends is a great start to a meal or already a meal in itself. Biggest surprise for us, the most incredibly ‘little’ starters on this trip were served at two hotel restaurants — not usually where we recommend our travelers to eat! If only we had brought the very stretchy pants👖…

Santorini Sunset🌅 — 4th of July 2021 needs no filter in beautiful🤩 Greece🇬🇷.

Did you know Mykonos, Greece 🇬🇷 has a lighthouse? There is more to this Cycladic island 🏝 than just windmills, white washed houses, cocktails🍸+ parties 💃 aka to see and be seen… So next time, when you visit this hotspot that’s on many a bucket list, why not venture away from your hotel and the hip beach clubs, get lost on the windy roads up hill and while doing so, please support a small local tavern or coffee ☕️ shop: Be a traveler, not just another tourist! #allyouwantisgreece #beatravelernotatourist #theroadlesstraveled #visitgreece #mykonos #greece2021 #stillatraveler #europeinsiders #travelbettertogether #wanderlusting #traveldeeper #afarmag #travelmassive #googlelocalguides #traveleringreece #wearetravelgirls
Who doesn’t ❤️Greek🇬🇷 yogurt? Unsurprisingly, this tasty superfood is even better in its beautiful homeland of Greece! How about trying the real thing? Traditional🇬🇷🐑 sheep yoghurt? Full fat!!! Classically, it’s served with walnuts, but we topped ours with fresh 🇬🇷🍓strawberries, pistacchios plus 🇬🇷🍯 wild flower honey.
There’s a lot of 🇬🇷 flags, because this hotel focuses heavily on local products and also supports small(er) artisan producers, something very dear to us as well — yet rather unusual for such a big property.
The view of the Acropolis from #gbroofgarden @hotelgrandebretagne in @thisisathens is icing on this simple yet so travelicious indulgence — enjoyed on our last morning in town and after splurging by cashing in 60k Bonvoy points collected over many years. Breakfast was not included, but with an 11 hour flight ahead, and all the other temptations on the served buffet, more than worth it. And yes, #HotelGrandeBretagne makes an incredible #FreddoCappucino — our newest ☕️ addiction and a must-try for any coffee lover in @visitgreecegr

Kaliméra Athína ☀️— good morning, beautiful Athens 🇬🇷. This beautiful city needs no filters, just good waking shoes + stretchy pants or floaty dresses.
Why the latter? Because the Greeks love to eat and there are so many tasty temptations, from freddo cappuccino ☕️ to never-ending mezze and so much more between.
It is a blessing to be finally back to @visitgreecegr again — a must-experience destination that has held a special place in our hearts ♥️ for decades, yet always surprises anew.
Make sure to follow our stories for even more impressions, but be warned that you may just want to get on the next plane ✈️ to #visitgreece !

Sunrise 🌅 in Crete, Greece 🇬🇷 needs no filters, but you have to get up with the roosters 🐓 at 6:06 AM.
Sandra, Sascha and Jon are our early risers while Ted and our other night owls🦉in team @insideeurope make sure that our travelers find their rooms after they close down the (hotel) bar at night/in the morning. Cristina is one of them and who could forget her favorite saying when venturing outside of her native Spain: “No🍷? This must be breakfast!”
But back to sharing updates from @incredible_crete and the current reopening. If you have not yet looked at our stories or 🇬🇷 2021 highlights, you are missing out on beautiful scenery, great food and 🔜 🐈+🐐 of @visitcrete – our current ‘home’. #stillatraveler #allyouwantisgreece #visitgreece #secretgreece #travelgram #traveldeeper #passionpassport #theroadlesstraveled #traveleringreece #takefamilytime #europeinsiders #travelbettertogether #2021travel #nofilterneeded #googlelocalguides
Kalimera Kriti — Goooood morning from the beautiful island of Crete 🇬🇷!
Have you been?
This magical place is still a fairly undiscovered gem for most American travelers, yet it should be on your bucket list for a myriad of reason: #Crete is home to authentic Greek culture, food and history, welcoming hosts and there is so much to be discovered. You can easily spend two weeks here, but even just a few days will warm your heart ❤️ and soul.

Rise and shine!
Do you enjoy eating 🍽 out for breakfast? Nothing beats a good ☕️ for me, however with a busy day ahead, a little bacon 🥓 biscuit bite is called for.
This is my last Saturday at home for three weeks as it’s time to see what Europe 🗺 looks like in 2021. With #Greece 🇬🇷 reopening, we will walk the walk and visit both favorites like #crete and #santorini, but also discover beautiful Greek destinations that are new to us. We are thankful for the collaboration with @visitgreecegr and @thisisathens over the last year, and the invite to meet with ‘old’ and new partners during the upcoming journey.
✈️ Traveling in 2021 is still anything but normal, but we are excited to see a little light at the end of a very dark time for so many in our usually rather happy industry of travel. And even for a travel pro, the new rules, regulations and procedures can be overwhelming, including which tests, forms and documentation (including vaccination 💉 confirmation) are needed. Definitely packing my favorite 😷 plus N-95s into both checked and carry-on bags 🧳.
A big shout to our colleagues at @afarmedia @condenasttraveller @travelagewest and @travelmassive as well as @ustoanyc for their continued efforts. And remember, travel insurance is now more important than ever! #wheretonext #stillatraveler #vorfreude #visitgreece #thisisathens #collaborationovercompetition #bettertogether #traveldifferently #travelbettertogether #europeinsiders #travel2021 #wearyourmask #ɢᴇᴛᴠᴀᴄᴄɪɴᴀᴛᴇᴅ
Happy Mother’s Day 2021!
Coffee ☕️ gets us started in the morning, but family + friends are what keep us going — in good and not so great times.
We are counting the days until traveling 🧳 to our favorite places across Europe 🗺 is making a true comeback, but feel the time is right to start revisiting destinations that are opening up for visitors from abroad — to see for ourselves and you, our travelers, what’s it like. Our US team is thankful to be fully vaccinated and we look forward to sharing our experiences with you in the weeks to come. First stops will be Germany 🇩🇪 and Greece 🇬🇷 in May, followed by Italy 🇮🇹, France 🇫🇷, Spain 🇪🇸 and Portugal 🇵🇹 in June, hopefully UK 🇬🇧 and Ireland 🇮🇪 as well. Where can’t you wait to visit? We would love to hear from you.

Buongiorno, bellissima Italia 🇮🇹! Curious what it is like in this magical country right now? We experienced Rome, Sorrento, the Amalfi Coast and beautiful places in between ourselves, last week and yes, after the Corona virus 🦠 ‘outbreak’. We didn’t travel 🧳 because we had to, but because traveling is what we do, for a living, for fun — and to get firsthand information from our Italian colleagues, partners and friends. There has been a lot of talk in the media, on TV 📺 and the internet, but very few seem to take the time to LISTEN and LEARN about the reality outside the ‘risk regions’. The affects of last-minute cancellations are devastating, especially for small(er) family-owned businesses, like this 🍋🍊juice stand between Positano and Amalfi where Sandra from our team was the only client by 2 pm on what is normally a busy day for the owner and his son. This is just one of many stories we can tell. Check the link in our bio for the @travelmassive live stream we were asked to join about the effects on the tourism industry. And please seek to stay informed and, if you can, keep on traveling! #europeinsiders #ilikeitaly #travelbettertogether #supportitaly #wearetravelers

So Snow White bit into the 🍎 and we traveled 🧳 through Italy 🇮🇹 this week — both stories have a happy end and we truly hope that you don’t stop visiting this beautiful country due to fear. We understand this is a very personal decision to make, and situations vary, but we also hope our photos and stories help you see that most of Italy is open for visitors and so many people depend on tourism for a living. #supportitaly #travelerinitaly #livefromitaly #europeinsiders #travelbettertogether #wearetravelers #italy #andràtuttobene
Buongiorno 🇮🇹 — Good Morning from Rome, Italy and one of our all time favorite hotels @hotelindigorome. The sun ☀️ was shining yesterday when we arrived and after a little thunderstorm ⛈ and gusty winds, today looks 😎 again. Traveling 🧳 is a passion for our team, and the many wonderful people and friends in the our happy industry of tourism. We cordially invite you to follow us along our journey in the Eternal City of Rome, at the Vatican and further south in the days to come. #italytravel #welivetravel #wheninrome #europeinsiders #travelbettertogether #insideeurope #livefrom #travelgram #roma #passionpassport #italytravel
Where to next 🗺? 🇮🇹 Italy is again our #1 destination in 2021, followed by Spain🇪🇸, Portugal🇵🇹, Germany🇩🇪, Austria🇦🇹 and Ireland🇮🇪. And we are already planning one-of-a-kind journeys for 2021/22 to even more beautiful European destinations including Norway🇳🇴, Malta🇲🇹 and Switzerland🇨🇭to name a few more favorite places. All our journeys are centered around our travelers’ interests and passions. Did you know that every iNSIDE EUROPE experience is crafted anew? #travelbettertogether #europeinsiders #takefamilytime #wheretonext #welivetravel #travelexperts
☀️ Sunny morning greetings from New York City and the NYT 🧳 Travel Show.
Did you know that iNSIDE EUROPE launched in the Big Apple 🍎 in 2007?
We have since moved our main offices to the Carolinas and expanded to California a few years, too, but it’s a beloved annual traditional to return to NYC for three days of continuing education and connecting with press, media and industry partners with TravMedia and USTOA.
Collaboration alongside with an emphasis on research, travel and curiosity is key to our unique approach to boutique travel experiences to Europe. We craft every journey anew for our actual travelers, their interests, passion and style to name just three of many areas where we personalize. Paired with our teams in-depth destination knowledge, attention to even the smallest details, we are proud to call ourselves matchmakers and storytellers. Wishing everyone a great travel year 2020! We are proud and thankful to be part of the happy industry of travel.

Keeping it real, local + authentique: steak tartare is one of THE classic French bistro dishes and while it may seem like a harsh contrast from our recent three star Michelin experience, this is another #forkyeah moment! #travelbettertogether #europeinsiders #eatlocal #steaktartare #foodbassador #wheninfrance #bonappetit #theroadslesstravelled #travelmassive #passionpassport
Gnocco Fritto — it is THE breakfast dish to try iN Modena and Reggio Emilia, especially when staying at @massimobottura’s @casamarialuigia. Buon Appetito!
