Where in Greece were Steph and Ayesha Curry?
Ayesha Curry should be relaxed and refreshed from a romantic Greek vacation with her husband, Steph Curry, when she appears at the Westfield Valley Mall in Santa Clara Sunday, Aug. 6, to promote her new skincare line, Sweet July Skin.
Over the past week, the lifestyle entrepreneur and her husband, the Golden State Warriors superstar, have shared amazing photos of their vacation in and around islands in the Aegean Sea to celebrate their 12th wedding anniversary. The photos are sure to incite some social media envy because they show the couple enjoying what one could expect of an idyllic Greece vacation: Riding a boat to swim in the sapphire-blue water of a rocky cove; touring a seaside village of whitewashed houses and cobblestone lanes; tasting wine and tucking into a meal of traditional Greek fare, including seafood and a salad of tomatoes, cucumbers and feta.
It also looks like the Currys didn’t bring their three children with them, and the photos show the couple clearly enjoying each other’s company.
“It’s our anniversary!” Ayesha Curry proclaimed in one of her posts. “12 years of being married to my best friend and love of my life. 15 years of dates and making memories. So much more to go. I love this man so much!!! Feeling blessed beyond measure… okay back to celebrating.”

“My Woman. I Love you more than you know.” Steph Curry wrote on his post. “I’m thankful for every experience we have shared together. The highs, the lows, the ways life has brought us closer together through it all. God continues to bless us. You have brought me so much joy and happiness from day 1. Let’s keep going. More! I love you! #12.”

For anyone who might want to jet off to Greece and enjoy some of the same sights and experiences as the Currys, Ayesha revealed that they spent at least part of their vacation on the island of Hydra. She also said their tour guide was a local celebrity, singer-songwriter Maria Voulgari. “It’s so beautiful to experience someone who loves where they come from and are so generous to offer up their knowledge,” Ayesha Curry wrote.
Hydra, in the Saronic island group, is fewer than two hours by ferry from Athens and offers “the ideal Greek island experience,” says travel guru Rick Steves. Hydra is known as a wheel-free island, meaning where there are no cars, motorcycles or even bicycles. People get around its villages or to its beaches by foot, water taxi or yacht, while donkeys are the primary way to transport goods.

Hydra became a jet-set haven for celebrities, artists and writers in the 1960s and 1970s after Sophia Loren used its scenery as the backdrop of her 1957 action-adventure film, “Boy on a Dolphin,” according to a Hydra tourism site. Among other famous people who have spent time on Hydra are John Lennon, The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton and the doomed romantic duo of Aristotle Onassis and Maria Callas. The late Canadian songwriter Leonard Cohen lived on Hydra at one point, and the experience inspired him to write his song “Bird on the Wire,” according to Steves. The town of Hydra also named the street in front of his house after him — “not that street names mean much in Hydra,” Steves said.
Perhaps Ayesha Curry will share some more tips about visiting Hydra at the Westfield Valley Mall on Sunday, though the purpose of her visit is to promote her latest venture, Sweet July Skin, and the new Sweet July Skin pop-up store in the mall, according to a publicist. The skincare line is the latest expansion of Ayesha’s Sweet July lifestyle brand.
