Haunted Walking Tours
The Halloween season is upon us! While I wouldn’t go as far as saying I’m a horror fanatic, I do enjoy a good scare from time to time, especially around Halloween.

The Argosaronic Islands Are Calling
The Saronic or Argo Saronic Islands of Greece call travelers to explore its seven small islands and islets brimming with history, natural sites and more. With most easily accessible by boat, the islands’ proximity to ports of Athens make the Saronic Islands an ideal destination for those preferring shorter boat rides. In fact, trips from Athens ports to the islands take only between 10 minutes and two hours, depending on the island you choose, making them perfect for day or weekend trips. From Piraeus port, you can access Hydra, Spetses, Aegina and Poros directly. Come explore these stunning islands with us and find the inspiration to plan your next trip to these islands. Hydra Hydra town curves around a slope overlooking the Argosaronic Gulf like an amphitheater and is considered one of the most romantic destinations in Greece. Most unique to the island is its lack of vehicles. People on the island get around on mules and donkeys as well as water taxis, making for a peaceful and laid-back day. Hydra lies a two-hour ferry ride from Piraeus port in Athens.

Perambulating Around Porto
One of the best decisions we made for our Spain and Portugal trip was to sign up for a Tours by Locals tour in Porto. As the name implies, tours are led by local residents who may not be professional tour guides but who nevertheless have intimate knowledge of their hometown and also some expertise in a particular area, be it history, art or food and wine. Well in advance of our trip, I went online to the website, typed in the city I wanted to visit and then scanned through a wide range of tours. Some are as short as 90 minutes while others may take up a full day. One can choose from walking or vehicle tours, and profiles of the guides allow you to get to know a bit about them and read reviews from previous clients.
