It was the biggest surprise when an email from @vlasis_kostouros landed in my inbox a few weeks ago, the subject being “Interview Invitation for K Magazine” 🤍. Vlasis went on to say that he would love to “organise an interview for K magazine, the prestigious magazine of the Kathimerini newspaper. We would like to feature you in an interview about your life, your work, your travels, your beautiful Instagram account and of course your love for Greece”. I was very much shocked/humbled/delighted to receive this invitation. We sat down and discussed all things It’s Beautiful Here, plus much more, and Vlasis went on to expertly weave his magic in condensing my very long-winded answers (!) into a more concise interview that appeared in @kapamagazine on Sunday. The interview is in Greek - and while I can now read Greek, I still don’t know all the vocab - so I hope it reads ok! In any case, it was a huge privilege to be considered for this interview and featured in the magazine, and I’m very grateful for this opportunity. If interested (if you read Greek!), the link is in the bio. Thank you, dear @vlasis_kostouros. And thank you to the extraordinary @blackbirdtales for this photo (for the @2plus1equals2 ‘Muses’ project). #greecemylove #itsbeautifulhere

Some hotels are designed to help you disappear. But Stamba Hotel is where you go to be in the middle of things. Inside a former Soviet publishing house in Tbilisi’s Vera neighbourhood, the hotel operates as an amalgamation of a grand hotel, a cultural institution, and a neighbourhood living room.
After six stays in 18 months, Australian travel writer, advisor, and the founder of the curated travel platform @_itsbeautifulhere Georgia Hopkins shares why Stamba is quite simply “the best city hotel in the world”, at the 🔗 in bio.

Thank you @russhmagazine ❤️
It’s almost impossible to narrow down a list of just 10 favourite places to eat/drink/see/do/sleep/and people to meet while here in Athens, but @russhmagazine challenged me to do just that. In this ‘Postcards from Athens’ feature you will find 10 of my top picks, many of which (and whom) I fell in love with the minute I arrived here three years ago.
Head on over to russh.com for the full feature*

@mannaarcadia, αγάπη μου. 🌲🌲🌲
Following on from my previous post, and my hope that the abandoned sanatoriums of Georgia will be reborn into something very special, with love and care for their surroundings… there’s no better example than @mannaarcadia, high in the fir forests of Greece’s mountainous Arcadia region.
Built in the late 1920s as a sanatorium for tuberculosis patients, the building sat empty for decades. Owner @strat_bat spent childhood summers in these mountains and dreamt, even then, of turning this striking empty building into a hotel. He worked for eight years with @k_studio_gr to bring it back to life, and how perfectly they did just that. Once a place of healing, Manna is now the most inviting place to rest.
Just a couple of hours outside Athens, it’s where I’ve been lucky enough to stay many times. It’s my favourite hotel outside the city, and the place I retreat to when I want to do nothing at all.
It’s very beautiful here.
Requests for bespoke Greece trips for next season are already rolling in, from returning clients and new ones. If we haven't yet worked together, know that off-the-beaten-track, unique and beautiful places are my favourite thing to recommend and book. I like pairing the mainland with the islands, where so many lesser-known gems are waiting. The beauty is outrageous.
Get in touch if you’d like help planning your next trip (for Greece, or beyond). 🤍

Unposted Tskaltubo, from this time last year. 🇬🇪
Famous during the Soviet era for its naturally warm mineral springs, the spa town of Tskaltubo is home to dozens of sanatoriums that now sit crumbling and half-forgotten. After reading so much about them, I woke up in Tbilisi one morning last November and decided to make a spontaneous trip out there.
I stayed a night in Kutaisi (a very beautiful city in the Imereti region), then took a taxi out early the next morning. Many of the sanatoriums were already boarded up, bought by private investors. We found one I could still get into, and my driver, a sweet Georgian man who insisted on taking a photo of a sleepy-eyed me out the front, waited while I explored. It was eerily quiet.
Last week, many different friends sent me a post from Abandoned Berlin about Georgia putting ten of these sanatoriums up for auction, priced from 1 million to 3.5 million USD each. The catch: buyers must also pay for a full renovation. What a dream it would be to buy one, team up with my favourite Georgian architect, and create something gentle on the earth and sympathetic to its surroundings, breathing new life into a place this special. If only!
I’m a little worried about what the wrong developer might (and probably will) do. Tskaltubo’s untouched, abandoned character is not going to last much longer.
It’s beautiful here.

Racha, this time last year. 💛
The wild, unimaginable beauty of Racha in full autumn colour, one year ago. I gasped out loud as we rounded a corner and these mountains came into view for the first time. Travelling through this region quite literally took my breath away. It’s so unbelievably beautiful here. I love you, Georgia. 🇬🇪

My 9th visit to Georgia, and my first ყაბალახი (Kabalakhi), a traditional cone-shaped Georgian hooded scarf, gifted to me by a friend 🤍
Tbilisi has become a second (or third) home to me. I’ve now spent more than four months here, on and off, over the last couple of years, and the love only deepens.
Georgia is human. A culture so preserved, so rich, so warm. In the words of my friend Nestan, Georgia “opens soul boxes.” I feel lucky every time I’m here and sad every time I leave.
Rustaveli is still a muddy mess from roadworks that began in the summer, but the city is as alive and resilient as ever.
It’s beautiful here. 🇬🇪

I spent a few nights at the cute and cosy @bluefox.hotel, a member of @design_hotels 💙. This is a really great option if you are wanting to be in close walking distance to the Old Town of Tbilisi and its thermal sulphur baths, Sololaki, Freedom Square, the Mtkvari River, and so on. Located in a beautifully restored 19th-century mansion courtyard featuring traditional carved wooden balconies, rooms are cosy and have murals hand painted by local artist @musya.qeburia. The restaurant and wine list are both excellent, breakfasts are really delicious, and the team is super lovely.
It’s beautiful here. 🇬🇪
დიდი მადლობა to my dear Irina and Giorgi for having me. X

From Thailand straight back to my beloved Georgia for the opening weekend of @kvarelifoundation, the country’s first contemporary art foundation and museum. ❤️ A huge gift to the Georgian art community and to Georgia as a whole.
Its inaugural show, Georgian Contemporary Art: Origins and Continuities, curated by Nino Sulkhanishvili, traces six decades of practice, from the 1960s to today.
The weekend was full of exceptional food and supra (მადლობა @tekunia), Georgian music, wine from @vazovaniwines, wonderful people and, of course, art. All wrapped in the warmth and hospitality that only Georgians do so well (the best). Soulful, generous, unforgettable.
Thank you Jemal and the entire Inaishvili family for this beautiful invitation and such an extraordinary weekend.
I’ve visited Kakheti many times over the last couple of years and love this region dearly. Now there’s even more reason to go- be sure to add this one to your Georgia wishlist. The @kvarelifoundation hotel, which sits on the same grounds as the museum and winery, officially opens in December and will be the perfect place to stay.
Oh Georgia, it’s so beautiful here 🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪

From Capella Hanoi to @capellabangkok last week, for @kiwicollection 🤍
A sleek, luxury stay right on the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok’s Charoen Krung neighbourhood. Charoen Krung was the city’s first paved road and is now one of its most characterful riverside areas, a mix of heritage and creative energy- including the small Chinese-Thai quarter of Talat Noi, with its cafes, shrines and street art, and the Warehouse 30 Creative District, where converted warehouses now house galleries, design studios and more cute cafes and bars. A perfect base for exploring the best of Bangkok.
Weather-wise, we had everything: dramatic post-rainy-season storms, then sunny blue skies. Perfect.
A few highlights:
- Lunch and dinner at Phra Nakhon
- Drinks at Stella Bar
- The most incredible facial at Auriga Wellness (thank you, Khun Win)
- Warm Thai egg cake with house-brewed Thai milk tea in the Living Room
- The views from my River Suite 811, watching the storm roll in
- The amazing art throughout the hotel
- The soon-to-launch Pilates room, complete with a cadillac, reformer and all the best equipment
Thank you dear Josephine and Aor for such a lovely stay.
