So you are travelling to the most unique city in the world and you are wondering what are the best places to stay in Venice.
Let me say first that it is very important to choose the area that fits you the best (we are all different).
This may be for your budget, for your interests or for the museums you plan to visit.
I used to visit Venice every single year for almost 20 years. Why? Because my grandparents were from there. Now even if I live in Melbourne, I love to go back and explore Venice, although in a different way, as an adult.
Now here is the good news. I assure you that you will ..read more

Best 10 places to visit in Tilos
Tilos is one of the most underrated islands in the Dodecanese, so beautiful, so off the beaten path.
Indeed, it is not the island for a party, although it has one of the most unique bars you can find in Greece, isolated in a ghost village.
As you approach the Livadia port, you will not probably feel much inspired by the character and architecture of the town, a mix of old and new.
But, at your first walk you will soon discover a beautiful pedestrian only beach walk, a square and access to many interesting places on the island, including the cave of the dwarf el ..read more

Until some time ago, the only place to stay was in Livadia, the harbour area where the ferry arrives.

Where to stay in Ios Island – Best areas, hotels & Airbnb
Ios is certainly not anymore a hidden gem, in fact it is probably one of the most famous islands in Greece, and for a few good reasons.
Beautiful beaches with crystal clear waters, plenty of young people meeting at night in the exciting Chora and a unique landscape of olive trees.
I first passed by Ios in the 80s when this island was the hippy center in the heart of the Cyclades, and most of the young crowd was sleeping on the beach.
Today is very far from that. You can still find cheap hotels (I have a little gem below, by the way ..read more

Sikinos is one of the hidden gems of the Cycladic Islands.
Nested between Ios and Folegandros, this tiny island is the perfect spot for anyone wanting to avoid the busy Greek islands.
In fact, Sikinos is surely one of the quietest Greek islands and one of the most secluded place to stay in the Aegean Sea.
You can comfortably explore this relatively small island (around 12-13km long and 4km wide) by car or bus.
You can even walk through most of of the island if you do not mind the high temperatures of the summer month ..read more
