If you look up to the hill above Nafplio you will see Palamidi fortress built by the Venetians back in the 18th century. Palamidi should be your first port of call when arriving in…

Which Greek Island is ideal for you?

Updated on April, 2019 Did you know that Greece has about 6000 islands? Yes indeed. But from those islands only around 200 are inhabited! I get questioned a lot of times about which Greek island one should visit, which honestly isn’t a question that is answered easily, because not all of them are the same and not all people have the same tastes!

Not that they are not clean, but they have black sand due to the volcanic minerals. The picturesque village of Oia and the “capital” of the island Fira with their whitewashed buildings and beautiful view over the sea (where once the volcano crater used to be) make up for the no t…
