My next stop on this Greece trip was Naxos, the largest of the Cyclades islands where I settled in a nice little apartment in Hora the Capital. The city is similar to those of Mykonos or Paros as it is filled with white and blue little streets everywhere. However, Hora is built on a little hill...
The title of this article was chosen carefully. I wrote "island" as the capital, Paraika, isn't anything that special. And "one of my favorite", because Bora Bora or Tuvalu would take the crown, as "nothing can be greater than paradise". But as far as the whole island goes, this is very close to...
This year in Greece I wanted to try something different, a bit off the beaten track so I chose an island in the Cyclades which was not the usual stop for most travelers. Usually, tourists chose the usual 5 to 10 islands such as Mykonos, Santorini, Rhodes, Crete, or Ios for example. That was...

Ever since I came to Chania 15 years ago as a novice traveler, I've been bragging about it as my favorite city in Greece. So being here again after such a long time definitely brought excitement to rediscover it. Chania offers a different feeling of the typical islands of the Cyclades with their...
I've already rated Greece as the number one in my ranking Map of the most beautiful Countries, as well as one of the best in terms of Historically Rich destinations around the world. Ancient Olympia is one of those places that was on my list and this year it was time to pay it a visit. Birthplace...
I was really surprised when I got here. This little city, still the second in the...
