Greek model Iliana Papageorgiou has taken a getaway break from her professional obligations to travel to the French countryside, selecting the historic Abbaye des Vaux de Cernay for her stay.
Papageorgiou documented her stay at the estate on Instagram, sharing photos and videos of her activities in the countryside.
According to the published material, the model spent her time enjoying an outdoor picnic and testing her skills at painting. The uploaded photo album captured both the exterior grounds and the interior spaces of the abbey complex.
Estate History and Location
The Abbaye des Vaux de Cernay is a historic 12th century Cistercian abbey located in the Chevreuse Valley, southwest of Paris. Surrounded by woodlands and lakes, the historic property has been restored into a hotel estate and countryside retreat.
Papageorgiou is a prominent Greek fashion model and television personality who gained widespread national recognition through her modeling career and television appearances in Greece.
Summer Island Travels
Her French trip follows a series of island vacations across Greece earlier in the summer. On August 21, 2026, Papageorgiou visited the Aegean island of Lipsi, where she went swimming at a local beach and posted a tender photograph alongside Giannis Karavasanis. During the same trip, she also took a stroll on the nearby island of Leros.
Karavasanis, an architect, has been a long time partner of the model. Both Lipsi and Leros belong to the Dodecanese island group in the southeastern Aegean Sea, known for their quiet coastal villages and secluded beaches.
Following her time on Lipsi, Papageorgiou continued her summer travels to the island of Koufonisia. On August 28, 2026, she shared updates from her stay on the island, including details about the specific book she selected to read during her holiday break.
Koufonisia is part of the Small Cyclades island cluster, located between Naxos and Amorgos, and is a popular destination for island getaways in the Aegean Sea.
