A Guide To Paxos' Beaches
Sep 24, 2025
Despite its small size - just 7 miles long and 3 miles wide - the enchanting Ionian island of Paxos is a haven for beach lovers. You're never far from a 'spiantza,' as the locals call them, and each one offers a slice of unspoiled paradise. All bar one are of gleaming white pebbles, and the waters here are unlike anywhere else: a stunning translucent turquoise so clear you can see the seabed many feet below. Whether you're seeking lively, organised shores or secluded, hidden coves, Paxos has a perfect spot for you. From smooth pebble beaches and dramatic white cliffs to sheltered bays and lively beach bars, let us guide you to our favourite spots.

Island hopping in the Dodecanese
Aug 12, 2025
The saying "Life is about the journey, not the destination" often applies to self-help and mindfulness. However, after a 10-night Dodecanese island-hopping familiarisation trip, I can confidently say it's about both. My journey involved several ferries, and each boarding was filled with eager anticipation. I shared the decks with other tourists, locals laden with produce, and even a few canine companions, making for a vibrant microcosm of life sailing towards numerous island destinations.
Witness a Sunset Total Solar Eclipse 2026 from the Heart of Spain
Aug 08, 2025
On the 12th August 2026, for the first time since 1999, there will be a total eclipse of the sun over mainland Europe. As the moon moves between the earth and the sun, completely obscuring the sun, it will be possible to view the sun without eye protection. The total eclipse can be viewed from Valladolid in Spain at 20.29 local time (one hour before sunset) and the totality will last 1 minute and 27 seconds. Witness this phenomenal spectacle with one of our short stay breaks in Spain.
