Get in touchMy first visit to the Azores, an archipelago of nine islands in the Atlantic, was long overdue and greatly anticipated.
We bundled ourselves off to the airport and soon enough were zipping in our hire car along the easy route south through Lisbon, over the Vasco Da Gama bridge. This stupendous feat of engineering wasn’t meant to be a feature of our holiday, but we just couldn’t help ourselves marvelling at the sheer ambition of the thing - opened to traffic in 1998, complete with lengthy spokes and spindly, chic lamp posts. We were transported over the Tagus River and ever closer to our destination.
Here we take a look at the traditional villages of the Pelion region of the mainland.
The island of Corfu is blessed with a unique and diverse mix of attractions. You will discover busy coastal resorts, quaint waterfront hamlets, forests of ancient olive trees, sleepy hill villages with pastel-coloured old houses and crumbling Venetian-style bell towers, as well as the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Corfu Town. There truly is something for everyone. This blog details what can be done during a 7 night stay based at the horseshoe shaped bay of Kalami, on Corfu’s unspoiled north- east coast. Our featured self-catering property, the Kalami Bay, offers panoramic views over the Ionian and is just 5 minutes' walk (300m) from the beach and village centre. To the front of the apartments is a large, freshwater swimming pool.
Here are some reasons why it’s worth considering Athens as either an initial stopover, or even for an extended weekend break.
