Greece is equally known for its breathtaking scenic beauty. With so many places to visit, it is quite possible to get confused while trying to figure out the perfect trip plan. Apart from its museums, tavernas and archeological sites, the Greek islands are some of the most spectacular places to be. Listed below are some of these top islands to visit when in Greece.Crete: One of the largest of the
The three Gili Islands are a small-scale backpacker mecca and Lombok's most popular tourist destination. The islands are very relaxed and laid-back, with countless little beachside cafes playing reggae and serving up banana pancakes, and no cars or motorbikes to disturb the peace. The beaches are without a doubt better tha
Over the last two or three years, I have compiled a list of cycling clubs in the Canary Islands. I had previously linked to all of them through this blog, but it was becoming un-manageable because there are now a total of 35 links to all of the clubs’ websites. I don’t imagine many Spanish [...]

I think that one of the main reasons for someone taking Holidays to Greece is the number and variety of islands here. There's no other country like it in that respect in Europe. A holiday on the Greek islands offers you the kind of relaxation you cannot get on the mainland.Of course all of them offer the sea - and there are so many beaches to choose from! But they also offer spectacular countrysid
Personally my favourite time to visit Greece is in mid to late September. The weather is not as hot as in the peak travel months of July and August, airfares and hotel rates are slightly cheaper and the crowds have thinned out somewhat by that time. Clearly the best time to travel to the islands would be in the peak months of June to September specifically because of the weather. Most of the islan

The Channel Islands are a haven that should be visited by everyone on their holidays. The Islands have so much to offer with a superb climate which is better than anywhere else in the UK.

It is unlikely that the British, or anybody else for that matter, would have desired the Cayman Islands quite so much when they were first discovered. Columbus originally named the islands 'Las Tortugas' (The Turtles) because they were utterly covered in them. More worryingly, the word 'Cayman' probably derives from the Carib word, 'Caymanas', meaning 'marine crocodile', suggesting that the island
