Situated off the coast of Greece and only a few hours by plane from the UK, the island of Crete is a heavenly and mythical destination, ideal for those looking for a different setting; one where cultures meet and the magnificent alternates with the wild. To experience a holiday in Crete is to plunge into thousands of years of history, where the ancient gods rub shoulders with legendary civilisation, as witnessed by the ruins of Knossos not far from the splendid city of Heraklion, the ramparts of Rethymon and the incredible fortress of Frangokastello. However, Crete is more than vestiges of history; it is also a paradise where nature-lovers will be transported to Heaven, with the gorges of Samaria, the isle of Elafonissi and the plateau of Lassithi. To holiday in Crete is to also enjoy a hospitable and warm people, the discovery of little neighbouring villages where life is lived in time with the seasons and in line with the sun. You will adore strolling through Agios Nikolaos, Loutro and Matala, or discovering the less touristic regions such as the Messara plain.

Of all the countries in the Mediterranean basin , Greece is without doubt the one which has the most tourists ... and for good reason! There aren't many places in the world where the culture, the history, the welcome and the beauty, come together in such perfect harmony. Taking a trip to Greece is first about taking a trip in time and walking in the steps of one of the most brilliant civilisations of antiquity : Athens, Olympia, Delphi and Mycenae are place where the magnificent ruins are witness to a heritage that is still living today. Travelling in Greece, is also a chance to enjoy a very special climate, warm and dry, which is ideal for long swims in the paradisiacal water of the Aegean sea or precious time to relax on hidden beaches in small coves in the Cyclades.A trip to Greece , is also about the pleasure of exploring an ancient cuisine where vine leaves, olive oil and Raki will make you sigh with pleasure. Why wait any longer: Ελλάδα σας περιμένει!

Though Sparta was historically a great power, I found myself disappointed by the modern city. Nothing at all remains that testifies to the domination Sparta once had over the whole of the southern part of Peloponnese. The extent to which the city has today adopted all the trappings of modernity came as much of a shock to me as learning about the practice of eugenics in ancient Greece during Greek lessons. The centre of the city is arranged along a wide main avenue. There are of course places to shop here, and hotels etc. I really loved the "yaourti me meli" that you can get in the city: yoghurt topped with good-quality local honey. Though not really possessing any particular charm of its own, Sparta is somewhere to come to in order to spend some time exploring local traditions when visiting Greece. However, tourists tend to simply stop off at Sparta on their way to Mystras, which is a wonderful little place where you can explore and learn more about the Orthodox Church.
