Endearing Syros
Oct 29, 2025
As a travel writer I’m often asked where is my favourite place. The answer depends entirely what I’m looking for. For a holiday, though, my answer is Greece. It has that perfect combination of historic sights/culture and relaxing sun and swimming, great food and reasonable prices. So, I’m always on the lookout for places with all this – and once again the Cyclades have come up trumps.

Dominica - designed by Mother Nature
Oct 29, 2025
It’s not true to say that I’ve seen it all. By no means! But it’s fair to say that, as an explorer who for forty years has trekked across the Amazon and Papua New Guinea, with camel teams plodded through the dusty ochre sands of the Namib and Gobi, and in bleakest Siberia slogged with loyal huskies through seemingly endless blizzards, I’ve seen quite a lot. And yet even I have rarely come across a place that is quite so idyllic. That place is the little island of Dominica – not to be confused with the rather more standard ‘sun, sea and sand’ offering that is the Dominican Republic.

With summer's heat and crowds now a distant memory, a new, more serene chapter unfolds across the Cyclades. Forget the frantic pace and jostling throngs; the true magic of these iconic Greek islands reveals itself when the shoulder season arrives. This is when the Aegean returns to its authentic rhythm, offering visitors an unparalleled opportunity to experience its breathtaking landscapes and charming villages in a state of tranquil beauty.
The Delights of Walking on Paxos
Sep 30, 2025
Paxos is a walker's paradise, a small, emerald island in the Ionian Sea where ancient stone paths crisscross a landscape dominated by over a quarter of a million olive trees. Unlike many Greek islands, Paxos is less about sweeping sandy beaches and more about a rugged, intimate beauty. Walking here is a journey through a living museum, with its old donkey tracks, terraced groves and abandoned hamlets. The island's diminutive size means you can explore much of it on foot, discovering hidden coves, dramatic sea cliffs, and secluded villages where time feels like it's stood still. The fragrant air, filled with the scent of wild herbs and citrus, and the sound of birdsong are your constant companions. Learn more about walking on Paxos in our latest blog.
