Home Sweet Homeric Poems

 I have found the key to a travel lover's happiness and it sits about 6,400 miles away from my home....
Talk about a long distance relationship!  However, I maintain my undying love and devotion to 
this magical island of Santorini in Greece no matter what the distance.




 Situated in the caldera of Firostefani, located just a few minutes from the capital of Fira, is the most charming hotel, Homeric Poems.  Sitting along the cliffs of Santorini, Homeric Poems offers some of the most magical and dramatic views in the world.   You might guess by my numerous photos that Homeric Poems is a large hotel, however, this boutique hotel consists of just 20 rooms.  The twenty rooms pay homage to the famous Greek poet, Homer, who wrote the epic poems, Iliad and Odyssey.  A trip to this magical island of Santorini and to this amazing hotel will have you channeling your poetic creativity.









Santorini is full of cliffs, steps, winding cobblestone and walkways but
short on elevators so be sure to pack light when you go.


















 The charming walkway leading to the entrance of Homeric Poems.









Homeric Poems is not large enough to house a dining room, but with
an amazing breakfast of your choice delivered to your balcony with these
breathtaking views, who cares!?












 If you book a Honeymoon Suite, your balcony literally hangs over
the cliff affording some of the best views of the island...













...and the views do not stop there.  Your shower window
gives you views overlooking the Aegean Sea and the caldera.



 The bar and pool area are a great place to unwind and....yes,
capture some more of these breathtaking views!














Magnificent views of the Aegean Sea and the caldera are 
available for every room at Homeric Poems.








 Room service throughout the day offers hand-picked ingredients from
Santorini and the Aegean Islands by renowned chef, Dimities Skarmoutsos.
A quick throw down of this lunch and I am off to ride the donkeys.






However you choose to spend your time on Santorini,
returning back to Homeric Poems is like returning home.
And, their staff is at your beckon call making for the 
perfect vacation.




















And, it's off to bed....hoping my dreams are a beautiful as
my reality at Homeric Poems in Santorini!

Lunas Tapas Bar Tops My List

The beauty in and around San Miguel de Allende in Mexico is evident 
the moment you get there.  The quaint, cobblestone streets combined with the  
colorful architecture is something to behold.  But to get the best view of this 
historical town you need to get to one of the many rooftops across San Miguel.

In my opinion, there is no better view than from the elegant five-star
Rosewood San Miguel de Allende's Luna Rooftop Tapas Bar.  Be sure 
to arrive shortly before sunset so you can capture the ever-changing 
landscape of colors.  And, if the view wasn't enough, the menu and cocktails 
will carry you long into the evening after the sun sets.
