My Kitchen Rules star Zana Pali hints at new romance as she shares bikini photos on holiday in Greece after her split from husband Gianni Romano
Former reality star Zana Pali has taken to social media with a gallery of racy holiday photos. To add a bit of spice to the post, the 34-year-old My Kitchen Rules 'villain' has hinted that she is keeping male company while enjoying a getaway in the Mediterranean. Looking beach fit, the dark-haired beauty, who made headlines last week after splitting from her husband Gianni Romano, flaunted her trim physique in a gallery she shared on her Instagram on Thursday. Several images feature Zana strutting her stuff while posing against the picturesque Greek coast in a barely-there string bikini. Meanwhile, Zana also shared photos of a delicious-looking meal. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. One photo, taken of the table, shows a sumptuous dish of seafood and also features what appears to be a man's hand wrapped around a mobile device. 'Peace and happiness,' Zana captioned the post in which she identified her location as Athens, Greece. It comes after news of her marriage split with Romano rocked Brighton 's 'Golden Mile'. Gianni and Zana - a pair of lawyers who rose to fame on My Kitchen Rules in 2016 - made headlines earlier this month over their breakup. The former couple are living completely separate lives, with Zana - now a property developer and influencer - chasing the European summer with her children, while her estranged husband gets back to work in wintry Melbourne. Daily Mail Australia caught up with Gianni - a partner at the law firm Best Hooper - during his lunch break last week and noticed the father-of-two wasn't wearing his wedding ring. He did not deny splitting from Zana, and when pressed for further details of what happened, simply said: 'I don't want to talk about it.' Still, the absence of a wedding ring, the fact he no longer follows his wife on social media, and a recent real estate sale all point to the couple calling it quits. One photo, taken of the table, shows a sumptuous dish of seafood and also features what appears to be a man's hand wrapped around a mobile device The pair's family home on Brighton's 'Golden Mile' - complete with a basement nightclub and lift access - sold in the middle of last year for about $10 million. The property sits on a stretch of millionaires' row that is a magnet for Victorian socialites, with famous locals including Bec and Chris Judd. Gianni and Zana made a name for themselves among the neighbourhood's glamorous elites when they moved in with their sons Leo and Romeo, now aged six and five. Now the boys are overseas with their mother, who has been posting regularly from their luxury travels in Montenegro. While attending a wedding at the Hyatt Regency resort in the Bay of Kotor, she posted a gallery of photos with a pointed caption: 'In the end all that really matters is family.' They have also abandoned their annual tradition of jetting off on a family holiday to Europe, with Gianni choosing to stay home in Melbourne while Zana whisked their children away to The Balkans last month. News of the couple's split was all but confirmed last weekend when Zana appeared on a list of 'Melbourne's most eligible bachelorettes', published in the Herald Sun. Zana was clearly thrilled with the feature, reposting the article on her Instagram. The pair wed in November 2014 on Hayman Island and went on to welcome sons Leo and Romeo in 2018 and 2020, respectively.

The new £17 tax tourists will have to pay to visit popular Greek islands
Travellers heading on a trip to a Greek island this summer may find themselves hit with an unexpected expense. Greece 's new 'sustainable tourism fee' has now been introduced to cruise passengers from July 21. Between June 1 and September 30, tourists disembarking a ship at Mykonos and Santorini will have to pay €20 each, equivalent to £17.35. The fee decreases in October and between April 1 and May 31, during the shoulder season, to €12 (£10.41). Between November 1 to March 31, the charge lowers to €4. Charges also apply to other ports on Greek islands and travellers will be charged €5 (£4.34) during the summer months. While in the winter, cruise tourists will be hit with a €1 (87p) charge, and in shoulder season €3 (£2.60). The new fee will be charged per passenger and will apply for each port they disembark at. It will be down to the cruise company to declare and pay the charge on a quarterly basis. Will Sarson, a cruise expert at Riviera Travel, urged people to check what costs are included in their cruise bookings. He said: 'Preparation and conducting checks are key to preventing unexpected charges. 'Being charged for unprecedented costs can leave you short of spending money, restricting your ability to make the most of your trip. 'Tourist tax and port fees are among the costs that could catch you out, so it's crucial to be aware of these fees when going on a cruise. 'While these fees may have been included in the cruise fare, thoroughly review the cruise line's terms and conditions to be aware of what costs are included. 'If you're still uncertain, contact the cruise line for confirmation. Being aware of what fees have been paid will give you a clearer picture of your finances for the holiday.' The new charges have been put in place to help tackle over crowding caused by tourism. Mykonos is expecting to host 900 cruise ships this season with tourist arrivals expected to reach 1.5 million. While footage from Santorini showed thousands of selfie-hunting holidaymakers have packed the narrow streets in a desperate bid to capture sunset views adored by influencers. However, the tax hasn't been welcomed by the port authorities in Mykonos. Speaking to Greek Reporter, Athanasios Kousathanas-Megas, the president of the Mykonos Port Fund, said that the tax was a 'curse' for the island's economy. He said: 'I believe that the price difference will create problems in choosing a cruise ship from 2026.'

Video: Gaza protesters block Israeli tourists from entering Greek island
A cruise ship carrying Israeli tourists departed the Greek island of Syros on Tuesday without its passengers disembarking after a protest by more than 150 people at the port. Demonstrators waved Palestinian flags and called for an end to the conflict in Gaza. They displayed banners reading "Stop the Genocide" and "No a/c in hell." The vessel, identified as the Crown Iris operated by Israeli company Mano Cruise, had about 1,700 passengers on board. 'The management of Mano Cruise has decided in light of the situation in the city of Syros to now sail to another tourist destination,' the company said in a press release. 'All passengers and crew members are resting and spending time on the ship on their way to the new destination.'
