9 Best Islands to Visit in Greece Trip to Greece is incomplete if you don't visit its gorgeous islands. There are around 6000 islands in Greece but only some 200 of them are inhabited. The islands make up 7500 km of country's total 16000 km coastline. They offer a highly diversified landscape : beaches stretching over many kilometers, sheltered bays and coves, sandy beaches with sand dunes, pebble beaches, beaches with dark colored volcanic soil and coastal wetlands. Many of the beaches in Greece have been awarded Blue Flag under the Blue Flags of European Program, providing not only swimming but also scuba diving, snorkeling, water skiing, sailing and windsurfing.  Some of the oldest European civilizations like Minoan and Cycladic civilizations, developed on Greek islands, so therefore the islands have unique archaeological sites, a distinctive archaeological heritage and the fascinating old traditions of centuries old civilizations.

Amazing Road Trips Through Greece - Part 1 Athens - Delphi - Meteora Greece has a lot to offer when it comes to tourism. Be it's wonderful islands, incredible historic places and ancient ruins, mouthwatering food and some worth experiencing festivals. Thinking about all this, we forget the one thing which is worth an experience in Greece i.e. the Road Trips. Nothing beats the freedom of being able to stop any time to hike up a hill, or find a path down to an untouched beach. Greece has beautiful driving routes, both by the sea and up through the mountains. Passing through the many little towns and villages, taking breaks in places where outsiders are few, you'll get a deep sense of having really seen the country. I am going to break this journey into several parts. Starting from Athens, going across the mainland of Greece and the ending which even I am not sure of. This is the first part of the road trip through Greece. Here we are gonna travel from Athens to...

Italy on Train - A Perfect 2 Weeks Itinerary Italy a country with rich history, amazing culture, delicious food and beautiful sights is probably on everyone's bucket list. Being a small country, traveling by road or by train is a perfect option for exploring this beautiful gem of Europe. The best time to visit Italy is from July to August. But I feel like, the best time would be at the starting of June and in September. This way you could avoid the crowds and also enjoy the amazing climate of Italy. I personally prefer trains because they are cheap, highly efficient and time saving. Also being able to hop into train at one place and arrive at another within a couple of hours is m uch less stressful and convenient than negotiating busy airports. Plus you can spend time relaxing and gazing out of the window enjoying stunning scenery pass by. The best part about this itinerary is that, its super flexible. Suppose, if you have already visited Rome and would like to visit ...
