TRAVEL INSPIRATION: CRETE

I’m rather jealous of Claire Graham, not only does she get to jet off all over the world but she takes the most beautiful photos which capture the memories and essence of each destination perfectly.  Lucky for us, we get to share them all right here, and today we’re jetting off to sunny Crete.  It’s all so quaint and rustic, and there’s definitely still a strong tradition for handmade crafts, which are on sale in the picturesque towns and villages for when you get bored of the beach!

Destination: Crete. Greece

Travel time: About 4 hours flight

Time of year: August

I’ve been so fortunate to travel to many countries and one of my favourites is Crete. It’s full of beauty, culture and good food, not to mention friendly locals. The sea is so calm and clear with the most stunning and inviting turquoise colours. Around many coves you can find pretty lagos with bars and restaurants that are so relaxing and refreshing!

If you feel more adventurous then there are many villages to visit, which are bursting with colour, history and prettiness. It’s certainly a country worth visiting and I would certainly go back!

After a decade-long career in corporate interior design, I took a giant leap of faith, left the security of an office job, and founded B.LOVED in 2011 as a platform for romantic and beautiful wedding inspiration. Thanks to a whole lot of creativity, hard work and passion, my gamble paid off and B.LOVED became one of the leading wedding blogs in the UK.

I'm also a co-founder at The Brand Studio, where I design and curate beautiful photoshoots for wedding and lifestyle brands, as well as running wedding industry community the B.LOVED Hive where I support and nurture wedding pros building industry leading businesses. Yep, I definitely have the best job in the world.
