Planning Luxury Honeymoon Vacation to Santorini, Greece

Dramatic, breathtaking, awesome – that first view of the caldera catches you unawares and almost defies description. Nothing can really prepare you for seeing the caldera for the first time. You don’t initially realise just how high up you are until you gaze down at the slumbering volcano and the miniaturised boats slipping silently across the silky blue water far, far below. For now, just sit back in a shady, flower bedecked terrace with a cool beer or a delicious frappe that the Greeks make so well, and let Santorini work her magic. A soft breeze cools you and a dish of olives or peanuts appears as if by magic before you. Relax and enjoy. If you are lucky enough to be staying more days in Greece you might want to visit the best Greek Islands. (more…)

Family vacation ideas for Bettona, especially with kids

A family that is seeking 100% relaxation as well as unwinding ambiance in Italy must choose an off beaten track with a halt in Umbria. This is one of the fewer known family vacation ideas for those who are on a Europe or Italy tour. Situated in the Perugia prefecture is the region of Umbria whose Spoleto Plain holds the scenic town of Bettona that is near the famous Assisi and Torgiano. Although the entire region of Umbria can be visited at any time of the year, I would recommend planning for off-season trip in October that would actually mean cheap accommodations and fewer tourists. And reaching here is also very easy – a train from Assisi or other cities like Florence and Rome and then a 20-minute car drive to Bettona. (more…)

My Love Affair With Kefalonia

My love affair with Kefalonia began some time ago now when, in my early 20′s, I visited the island for the first time after repeatedly watching the film ‘Captain Corelli’s Mandolin’. I instantly fell in love with best Greek Islands and the many images of pretty little beaches and coves, where aquamarine water lapped at the pebbles and the sunbathers soaked up the rays of the hot Greek sun. When I arrived at my destination (the pretty little resort of Lourdas) I certainly wasn’t disappointed and further holidays have only proved to further cement my infatuation with the island. (more…)

Finding the right holiday rentals in Greece

Achingly beautiful landscapes, bouncy and boisterous nightclubs, chilled out and calm sandy beaches – Greece is a country of many sides, and finding the perfect place to stay really means working out what kind of holiday you’re hoping for.
