While reading a tourist magazine some time ago, I came across an article about Crete, specifically the prefecture of Heraklion and hersonissos hotels crete . The truth is that, like the majority of people, I mistakenly believe that this city isn't as much beautiful as others in the island. So, after reading this content, I was enticed to conduct my own internet research. Things I discovered and the photos I saw convinced me to visit Heraklion this summer. The second part of my research focused on where I would stay. I knew I wanted something unique, beautiful, traditional, and lavish. The reality is that the information is huge and most of the time are misleading. Luckily I recalled that an old greek friend of mine visits the prefecture every summer and stays near hersonissos hotels crete, which had made a big impression on me because it was not her hometown. I contacted her right away, and her response surprised me. "In Heraklion, there are many places to stay, but one, in p...

Recently I visited one vegan restaurant and truly I had maybe the most delicious dinner in my life. I am not a vegan nor a vegetarian so I was suspicious and cautious before visiting. Two thoughts were in my mind, that I won’t be able to find anything to order and probably food would be awful! Ah! I was sooo wrong. There was an extensive menu which I almost got lost and the Mexican Enchiladas I ordered were scrumptious. After my visit to this vegan restaurant I’ve started to searching for vegan recipes and I finally found a similar to the dish I tried for the very first time. Here is the recipe (credits to http://vegansintages.blogspot.com/2014/03/blog-post_31.html) Vegan Mexican Black Bean Enchiladas Ingredients for the filling (4 large enchiladas) 1 finely chopped onion 1 clove of garlic, melted 1 tbsp. olive oil 2 large Florina peppers or 3-4 small ones, whichever color you prefer, chopped 2 cups cooked black beans 1 c.t.c. cumin 1/2 tbsp. smoked paprika juice of half a lemon Salt...

Ανάμεσα στα πιο δημοφιλή ταξιδια στο εξωτερικο με γκρουπ βρίσκονται αναμφισβήτητα αυτά με προορισμό το παραμυθένιο Ροβανιέμι, την πρωτεύουσα της Λαπωνίας στη Φινλανδία. Το χωριό του Άγιου Βασίλη και το Βόρειο Σέλας βρίσκονται στη νούμερο ένα θέση μαζί με τη Νέα Υόρκη για την εποχή των Χριστουγέννων. Το Ροβανιέμι βρίσκεται στο βορειότερο σημείο του Αρκτικού κύκλου. Σε ένα παραμυθένιο σκηνικό οι ταξιδιώτες κάνουν παρέα με τα αγαπημένα ξωτικά, βοηθούς του Santa Claus, βόλτες με έλκηθρο και τρώνε λαχταριστές ντόπιες σπεσιαλιτέ μέσα στα γραφικά ξύλινα σπιτάκια. Στην φανταστική πόλη Κέμι το γκρουπ μπορεί να επιδοθεί στο Northern Lights Hunting (Κυνήγι του Βόρειου Σέλαος) στο ψάρεμα στον πάγο. Τα ταξιδια στο εξωτερικο με γκρουπ περιλαμβάνουν πάντα διανυκτερεύσεις σε 4στερα ή πεντάστερα ξενοδοχεία και φυσικά το ίδιο ισχύει και με το ταξίδι στην Λαπωνία. Το γκρουπ μπορεί να επισκεφτεί το Πάρκο Άγριας Ζωής, στη Ράνουα, όπου εκεί θα δει 50 διαφορετικά είδη ζώων, από λύγκες και αρκούδες μέχρι λύκο...

Αλήθεια τι είδους γνώση είναι αυτή που πρέπει κάποιος να πληρωθεί προκειμένου να την μοιραστεί με τους άλλους; Το στοίχημα στο ποδόσφαιρο είναι ένα συναρπαστικό μίγμα της αγάπης για το εν λόγω άθλημα και του πονταρίσματος.

Η πόλη της Κορίνθου βρίσκεται στα βορειοανατολικά της Πελοποννήσου και είναι μια σύγχρονη πόλη, που τίποτα δεν έχει να ζηλέψει από τις υπόλοιπες μεγάλες πόλεις της Ελλάδας. Το 1928 η Κόρινθος καταστράφηκε σε μεγάλο βαθμό από σεισμό και μετά ξεκίνησε η ανοικοδόμησή της δίνοντας τη σημερινή της μορφή άριστης ρυμοτόμησης.  Επιλέγοντας ο ταξιδιώτης να μείνει σε κάποιο ξενοδοχειο κορινθοσ θα έχει τη δυνατότητα σε κοντινή απόσταση να επισκεφτεί την Αρχαία Κόρινθο, την Αρχαία Νεμέα, την Δίολκο, τα Ίσθμια, το Ηραίον αλλά και παραθαλάσσιους προορισμούς όπως το Ξυλόκαστρο και το Βραχάτι. Δεν είναι τυχαίο ότι η πόλη διαθέτει πάνω από 40 ξενοδοχεία όλων των οικονομικών δυνατοτήτων. Επιπλέον, μένοντας σε ένα ξενοδοχειο κορινθοσ μπορείτε να συνδυάσετε βουνό με θάλασσα κάνοντας ημερήσιες εξορμήσεις,  πεζοπορίες ή απλά απολαμβάνοντας παραδοσιακά εδέσματα σε έναν από τους οικισμούς των Τρικάλων Κορινθίας. Κατά τη διαμονή σας σε ξενοδοχειο κορινθοσ, είτε είναι στο κέντρο της πόλης είτε σε κάπ...

There is by now an endless array of truly fantastic hotels on Mykonos, as it has become one of the leading tourism destinations in the world. When you’re searching for a great hotel to stay at, you’ll come across a seemingly endless array of 5 star hotels mykonos and you’ll probably feel both spoilt for choice and a little overwhelmed at the same time. The truth of the matter is that although a lot of the hotels being presented to you online are of good to high standard, not all of them are actually 5 star hotels mykonos ! It’s a good idea to go to travel and accommodation review sites and research the most recent comments by previous guests at the hotels that interest you most to make sure that a lace that describes itself as “5 Star” wasn’t of that standard in 2010 but is actually of that caliber today. Now, for the good news! Although some of the 5 Star Hotels on the island are no longer up to standard, because of wear and tear over the years, or sheer exaggeration from the owners ...

There are several magnificent opera houses in the world, where local and international performances are held. Visiting opera houses can be a deeply rewarding experience, because as an audience member you get to enjoy the unique ambiance of the place itself, with its elaborate décor and style, to admire the scenery and costumes, to be in an audience of people mainly residing in the city you’re visiting, to follow a performance by prestigious, talented music artists, to discover something new, to be swept away by the music and the story you are experiencing, and if you’re a real opera buff, to compare the performance of the opera you’re seeing to others you have seen elsewhere. Opera is a form of music that is in so many different languages but you are not expected to understand every word. Often the theatrical aspect of the performance is enough to help you understand the overall meaning of what is happening in the story and to focus on the feelings created by the music more than the d...
