From David to Venus: A video tour through Florence, Italy

We love how Florence is able to provide so many things to see and do into a town that very much feels like a part of the Tuscany countryside. The only downside is the mega crowds and lines you may have to  contend with to see the immense collection of art and architecture.

We started our tour with a stroll over the Ponte Alle Grazie and walked through an array of beautiful sculptures filling every corner of  the open air square at Loggia de Lanzi.

There is truly no end to the sites and art to see in Florence, from the Accademia which holds Michelangelo’s David (which is so much larger in real life than I had imagined), to the Birth of Venus in the Uffizi Gallery, you will be sure to check of a large chunk of your bucket list in this town.

Skaros Rocks and hidden church in Santorini Greece

Another winner of our “places we will return to” list is Santorini Greece. Sure, it is hella touristy but the beauty of the island and its unique cliff side restaurants and bars are unbelievable. In the video below we hiked down to one of the famous Santorini churches hidden behind  the Skaros Rocks.
