Hollywood darling Kate Hudson is back in her favorite summer playground—Greece. The 46-year-old actress has once again chosen the sun-drenched shores of the Aegean to unwind, this time kicking off her vacation on the idyllic island of Skiathos with her daughter Rani and a group of close friends.

Soaking in the Mediterranean bliss, Hudson has been spotted enjoying everything from laid-back boat rides to refreshing dips in the sea. Her Greek getaway wouldn’t be complete without sampling the local cuisine, and she did just that—sharing glimpses of her trip with fans on Instagram. Her feed, filled with breezy snapshots, captures the carefree spirit of her island escape.

In a heartfelt post, the Almost Famous star didn’t hold back her affection for the country, simply writing: “We love you, Greece!”—a sentiment she seems to echo every summer.

Hudson’s connection to Greece runs deep. Alongside her longtime partner Danny Fujikawa, she’s been vacationing on the islands for years, with Skiathos serving as their home base—where the family even owns a holiday residence.

This year’s adventure began in June, with Hudson and her crew exploring the tranquil northern coast of the island, blending beach days with seaside dining.

One of their stops? A well-known coastal taverna in Kechries, where they indulged in a feast fit for summer: freshly grilled Aegean sea bream, creamy Santorini fava, juicy Cretan cherry tomatoes, crisp salads, Skiathos almond sweets, Chios mastiha, and local wine from the island.

After basking in the charm of the Greek isles, Hudson continued her European tour, heading west to the sun-soaked beaches of the Iberian Peninsula. But if history is any indication, it won’t be long before Greece calls her name again.
