Forever Greece

On my Forever Forthieth...

It takes a lot of research to plan a 4-day birthday celebration. On one of the days I wanted my guests to enjoy an authentic lunch and real Greek atmosphere. We found the perfect place - Elias Fish Taverna at Cape Sounio. This simple and charming taverna has a splendid view across the water to the Temple to Poseidon, the ancient god of the sea, and is half an hour's scenic drive from The Margi.

The food was really amazing at Elias Fish Taverna. So authentic! It included Greek salad, octopus, white bait, tzatsiki and fresh caught fish.

Here we are enjoying the local Greek atmosphere…

 

The fish was really good!

We spent one leisurely day at the Astir Beach Club just a stroll from The Margi.

 

 On the last day we dined in Athens with this even more famous view...

The Acropolis looms up above you at
restaurant Dionyssis

At night the view is even more striking...

My best present

More memories of my Forever Fortieth birthday. My best present was my lovely man, my soul mate. Life has its twists and turns, and suddenly there he was like a bolt from the blue heavens, just before my birthday trip to The Margi on the Athens Riviera.

What better present than this...

Together with 36 friends and family, we enjoyed a great birthday dinner party at restaurant Ithaki - a real charmer only 5 minutes walk from The Margi. Stunning views of the sea, a romantic Grecian atmosphere, and great food added to the joy of the festivities. We at Select Collection would love to organize your birthday and other events in combination with The Margi and Ithaki...

Here are some snapshots of my lovely happy guests on the magical terraces of Ithaki:

Being in Paradise...

More wonderful memories from my Forever Fortieth at The Margi on the Athens Riviera. The flowers were amazing! Thank you all who sent them – it was like being in paradise. And thanks to the Margi for the stunning suite they gave me and my lovely man.

Forever 40

I have just celebrated my Forever Fortieth birthday on the Athens Riviera in sizzling July weather. We stayed at The Margi, one of my favourites with a great atmosphere, and had beautiful festivities for four wonderful days. Nowadays everyone looks and feels 20 years younger...so every day and every night we found a perfect way to celebrate.

These pictures were snapped at the champagne party by the pool at The Margi. More pictures coming later.
