Sailing in Greece 

 

EXPLORE THE GREEK (POLYNESIA)

The Greek Islands are a collection of over 6,000 islands and islets that belong to Greece. Only 227 of the islands are inhabited, and only 78 of those have more than 100 inhabitants. The Greek islands are traditionally grouped into the following clusters: The Argo-Saronic Islands, the Cyclades, the North Aegean islands, the Dodecanese, the Sporades, and the Ionian Islands.
The best way to explore all that is rent a bot.For just 35 euros per person is easy for everyone and what better way to go to thousands of beaches that have no other way to access.

It may seem common to call Greece “Land of Gods” or The Endless Blue”, but if you experience a sailing holiday  in the Greek islands you will soon realize that whoever said the above phrases was not far off the true. Thousands of miles of  coastline with picturesque islands in all colors with Greek traditional architecture styles.
From the Saronic islands close to Athens to the cluster of islands in the Cyclades and Dodecanese and from  the calm sea of the Ionian islands to the  green Northern Sporades islands, is a life time sailing experience.

If you are considering sailing in Saronic and Argolic Gulf or the Peloponnese coast, then you will sail in a well protected sailing area with plenty of picturesque destinations being always in a short sailing distance. If you are intending to sail to Cyclades  or Dodecanese islands, then get ready for more exciting sailing, as the prevailing winds during the summer are stronger than Saronic Gulf.

Sailing in Greece is a unique experience! Select your yacht charter and check our suggested routes for other destinations as well, and sail to Ionian and Sporades islands.

  Enjoy low cost holidays in Maldives

Even in times of crisis it is not good to miss out on a holiday. The goals do not change because of the crisis but the modes of travel vary. However even this has a positive effect. Destinations such as the Maldives have always been considered prohibitive places due to not being easily accessible for all.

In times of crisis the tourism machine stops and regains momentum. 40 years later from when the 3-4 star hospitality villages started on local islands (those inhabited by fishermen and workers) have now turned into island resorts that are the masters in the super exclusive panorama and very dear to European tourists.

Sergels Torg square | Stockholm

The square is characterized by the presence of a large fountain in crystal whose water reaches as high as just over 37 meters. It is the work of Edvin Öhström who had it built in 1974. The work is famous because it was built on two levels. The two levels consist of the upper one with a fountain and the bottom one where you will find the metro station, shops and some supermarkets.

The square was built in the sixties after the demolition of old buildings that occurred in the previous decade. If you go to this place in winter you may encounter the ice rinks which are setup every year and are the most important and beautiful in the city.

10 Most dangerous destinations to avoid

When designing a holiday in a far away or exotic country you should always be aware of the dangers you might encounter because of terrorism, crime, or the Civil Wars. Here is a guide of the 10 most dangerous destinations in the world.

The three cities you must not visit

After the invasion of U.S. troops in Baghdad in 2003 over 650 thousand civilians have lost their lives and thousands of other people were injured. On the headlines of such news often also jumps Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, in which there are an average of 120 murders per 100 thousand residents. 50% of the crimes that take place throughout the country are murders. Then there is Caracas, Venezuela’s capital, the most dangerous destination. The battles between the drug cartels and the poverty of the population have helped make the city notorious for the highest number of crimes and murders.

The Powder Keg African destinations to avoid

Another destination to avoid is Capetown of South Africa where in a year on average there are more than 71 thousand rapes, burglaries and almost 14 thousand robberies. In addition, in a day about 50 murders take place in South Africa, many of whom happen in Capetown. The situation is much more complex in Mogadishu, the most important city of Somalia ravaged by civil war. It is virtually impossible to get reliable statistics on the number of crimes and offenses in this city but the massacres that take place every day are decimating the population. Travel in this area is incredibly risky.

More than 50 murders a day at the most dangerous cities

On the tenth place in the rankings are Rio de Janeiro, Brazil which in recent years has become much safer than in the past although the murder rate is much more similar to that of a war zone. High murder rate appears even in the civilized Detroit of the United States where every year on average 43.7 murders per 100 thousand take place. It has a lower number of murders but the rising tide of terrorism has made even Karachi, Pakistan one of the most dangerous places on the planet. You should try to avoid it because often people taken by Chechen terrorists and Grozny is often hit by deadly suicide bombings. In sixth place of the ranking are New Orleans, the city of the southern United States affected by Hurricane Katrina a few years ago where every year, according to FBI estimates, occur 52 murders per 100 thousand crimes.
