In 2017 three major motorways were completed that have brought Parga much closer to Athens and Thessaloniki. Located on the western coast of Greece, lapped by the Ionian, Parga may be a mainland destination but it has a distinctly island feel. The picturesque town lends itself to pleasant strolls along its narrow streets that lead [...]

And, as above, this route has recently gotten easier and quicker following the completion of the Olympia and Ionia Odos (aka Motorway 5) which have cut travel time almost in half to about [...]
On this elegant isle, you will find the blue-green waters of the Saronic Gulf meeting pine forests that stretch down to the water’s edge. Its rich history, in part as the home of wealthy shipowners who played a key role in the Greek War of Independence, is evident in the grand architecture of its aristocratic [...]
A neighbor to Spetses in the Saronic Gulf, Hydra maintains an old-world charm thanks to its architecture and historic villas, its lack of cars (which are prohibited on the island), donkeys and small tavernas on rooftops and in flower-lined courtyards.

Σήμερα, η Αμμουλιανή βρίσκεται σε τροχιά ανάπτυξης. Οι κάτοικοι μιλούν με ενθουσιασμό για το νησάκι τους και το χαρακτηρίζουν «Μύκονο της Χαλκιδικής». Μέσα σε μερικά χρόνια, τα ξενοδοχεία και γενικότερα οι τουριστικές υποδομές έχουν πολλαπλασιαστεί. Για πολλούς, βέβαια, παραμένει ένας άγνωστος προορισμός για τον οποίο δεν γνωρίζουν ούτε τη θέση του στο χάρτη. Για τους Θεσσαλονικείς, όμως, [...]
Identified in myth as the birthplace of Aphrodite, Kythira is simply one of the most beautiful islands in Greece. It is also one of the most unique, not fitting in easily to any of the main island groupings (Cyclades, Ionian etc).
