CUTE CLOTHES - MYKONOS TOPS

Dorina at Mykonos Tops is sweet as sugar. We found reasonably priced beach coverups and dresses here. And all here products are made here in Greece. Pop by and tell her the Sweat Vacay girls sent you. You are sure to find something tat transitions easily from the beach to a night out dancing in Chora! It’s just down from Fabrica. It’s a must!

AUTHENTIC FLAVORS - NINNOLO GELATO

Sooo… Sammie makes the best gelato in the world, hands down. He makes fresh, new flavors every day and is a freaking genius. Some of our fave faves of the season include a hazelnut gelato, a pink grapefruit sorbet, and a marscapone gelato that switches it’s flavor accent all the time. The brownie one and he strawberry ones were both totally insane.
