Four Days in Athens

A description of an enjoyable 4-day trip to Athens that provides information for travelers visiting this interesting city for the first time. In order to make the most of our short time, we toured for three days on private tours with a wonderful, knowledgeable, and attentive guide named Kobi, an Israeli who has lived in Athens for six years.

Family Vacation in Thassos - An Enchanting Greek Island in Northern Greece

Thassos is the northernmost island in the Aegean Sea and one of the most beautiful and ancient islands in Greece. It is located only about 13 km from the coast, with the closest city being Kavala.
The island is especially suitable for family vacations and trips, and is a favorite among lovers of nature, water sports, and active recreation.
The island offers plenty of options for hiking, cycling, horse riding, and jeep tours.
In Thassos there are wonderful sandy beaches with clear turquoise water, many of which have calm, pool-like waters. 

A Cruise Between the Greek Islands and the Adriatic Sea with Italian Flavor from Venice

A cruise between the Greek islands is an ideal solution for lovers of islands, the sea, and Mediterranean vacations who seek variety - visiting islands that differ in character, style, and scenery, while preferring a "star trip" format: avoiding the hassle of moving between islands by ferry with all luggage, and skipping long hours in airports and small planes.
Today, many American and Italian cruise lines offer great eastern Mediterranean sailing itineraries, which include the most beautiful Greek islands, ports in Turkey, as well as Croatia, Slovenia, and southern Italy.
In this article, I will describe a one-week round-trip cruise from Venice on the Italian cruise line Costa aboard the ship Costa Deliziosa, featuring five port days and one fun day at sea.

Cruise from Crete via Santorini to Haifa

Cruising in the Mediterranean has become increasingly popular in recent years. European cruise lines have upgraded and now offer magnificent ships comparable to American lines, and American cruise companies such as Royal Caribbean, Princess, and Norwegian also sail the region.
The Mediterranean offers a variety of great ports, many of them very close to us – in the Greek islands and the Turkish Riviera, making it easy and affordable to embark on a wonderful cruise.

In addition, several mega-ships call at the Port of Haifa in Israel, particularly from Costa Cruises. This allows passengers to embark or disembark just a short drive from home, saving on one or both flights.
The line offers 3-4 night sailings from Crete to Israel and vice versa, as well as several one-week round-trip voyages departing from the port of Haifa, completely eliminating the need for flights.
In this article, we describe a 3-night sailing from Heraklion, Crete to the Port of Haifa aboard the Costa Mediterranea, combined with a trip in Crete.
