After being so down-to-earth, I’m really looking forward to traveling again and Greece is at the top of my travel list. I’ve been traveling to Greece for almost 30 years now, but there is still so much for me to discover in this land of history, beaches, beautiful islands and the most incredible food and drink. Although it has been a difficult time to travel lately, some hotels and villas in Greece are eagerly preparing to open their doors for the first time. There isn’t much in life that is more tempting to me than a brand new hotel or villa! I checked out some of the new homes that will open for the first time in 2022 so we can all look forward to a New Year with wonderful Greek hospitality.
