When you hear the word “Greece” what kind of associations does it rise? I think that these associations are similar with mine. The infinite land with olive groves; the country washed by three seas; the country with magnificent architecture and rich cultural heritage; the country that gave the birth of the most famous philosophers; and of course the country that formed the basis of modern European civilization when the Ancient Greece myths had appeared.

Have you ever noticed how some of your friends seem to get away on a lot of holidays each year? Maybe they’re just lucky, or maybe they know the secrets to finding cheap airline tickets.
Before internet usage became so common, the trick to finding the best deals on flights often involved waiting until the very last moment and then phoning a specialist flight broker.
Such brokers were often able to offer extremely competitive last minute deals, allowing you access to cheap prices. They were able to get their hands on cheap tickets because some airlines would find themselves with excess capacity and would look to brokers to fill seats.

Venice! Oh, Venice! Perhaps, you want to ask me what interesting or new things can I tell you about this city? Of course, nothing! Hope you know much about Venice. Certainly I can’t tell you something interesting. However I want to tell you about my trip to this charming city. I want to describe my impressions and feelings. Before my journey I knew that Venice is the city that stands on water and it is very popular for its romantic spirit. But I wonder how can the constant smell of dampness create that romantic spirit? Is it possible? Yes, it is possible. During my trip to Venice I understood that I don’t feel that smell at all. I didn’t even notice it.

The tourist season in Croatia has kicked off with a good start. Over the next couple of months the life on the Adriatic coast becomes one hectic beehive.
Down in the deep south, Dubrovnik becomes an open stage where the rich, the famous, the wannabees mingle together during Dubrovnik Festival and where joy and laughter can be heard at every street corner. What is more, the life in the Old Town never ceases to stop. The hordes of night birds are replaced by ever excited tourists from the visiting cruisers. Mesmerizing looks on their faces are truly justifying Bernard Shaw’s famous sentence comparing Dubrovnik to paradise.
City wall walk is on a must to do list of every cruiser tourist. Do not forget to take some water with you as the heat can get the better of you. Also, remember that you can safely withdraw local currency (kunas) from ATMs and what is more you can use your card safely at POS terminals.

Cyprus has become particularly popular with tourists in recent years. The following is a list of the top eight holiday locations on this Mediterranean island.
1. Ayia Napa: One of the party capitals of Europe. With its busy bars, restaurants and nightclubs, it’s no surprise that Ayia Napa is a real rival to Ibiza. The dance music scene attracts visitors from all over Europe.
2. Nissi Beach: Considerably quieter than neighbouring Ayia Napa, this resort enjoys popularity thanks to its long stretches of white beaches.
