Pefkos - What a place!

I first went on holiday to Pefkos in 2002, with my family, and then each summer a few more times. Ever since the first visit I knew that it was a very special place that I would never forget and each time we went back it just got better and better. We always stayed at Pefkos Beach Hotel.

Now that my husband and I have just celebrated our second Anniversary together, it has made me think about the times we visited together and how Pefkos and our Greek friends have seen us grow and develop our relationship.

In 2009, we went out the first time together and stayed at Pefkos Beach Hotel (Would it be anywhere else ;) ) we were just in our second year of a relationship together at this point. Lucien had also been to Pefkos previously but stayed in Apostolis Studios, up the hill from Pefkos Beach. We had a brilliant holiday together and did a bit of exploring around the southern, western coast and Epta Piges.

In 2010, Lucien and I went back again to Pefkos Beach, we were now engaged. We explored a lot more this year and enjoyed ourselves a lot. We also met with Karen from Lindos Weddings to discuss what sort of wedding we would like. Neither of us wanted to go home.

In 2011, when we went back again we met with Lindos Wedding to plan every detail of our perfect day, which would include St Pauls Bay and then evening reception at Nostalgia. We also did the usual amount of exploration of the island, and climbed up Tsambika mountain.

In 2012, we went with all our families and friends to get married. It was a brilliant 2 weeks, and an amazing day that couldn't have been more perfect. We couldn't believe that so many of our family and friends came out to celebrate our joining together as a family. I wish I could do it all over again.

In 2013, when we went back I was 5 months pregnant with our gorgeous baby daughter. All our Greek friends were so excited to see that there would soon be a new member of our family and would greet my bump before me. We still managed to do our usual amount of exploring and we even climbed a mountain.

So this year, 2014, we are going to take our lovely baby daughter to meet all our friends and show her Pefkos. We are heading out to Pefkos a lot later than normal as I am not working but it will be nicer for our Alice as it won't be too hot for her. 

We are so excited to show Alice off, and to see our lovely Greek friends again.
