Hi, Welcome to my Blog!

I am Celeste, a mom of two (ages 7 and 10) who loves to travel. I live in Athens for 20 years and have travelled all over the mainland and islands of Greece. I did not stop that journey when I became a mother. I love to be out and about and to discover with my children. It became my passion to find unique family vacation destinations and experiences. I created Family Experiences Blog to inspire and to share remarkable places, quality activities and things to do with kids. Join me as I explore Greece with my family.
