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.
A Holiday Tradition
A long-time tradition in our family (and probably millions of others, I suspect) is a trek to the local cineplex sometime between Christmas and New Year's (often, more than once) to take in a movie, whether Christmas-related or not. Baggies of candy, courtesy of Santa in our stockings, are slipped into pockets and purses (I know, I know!), and we escape to some fantasy world for a few hours.
Holiday Trip to Utah
Thanksgiving is still a week away, and we are another month from Christmas, so it’s a little odd I’m already thinking about the New Year. My sister and I decided a few years ago that each New Year’s Eve we want to do something different; whether a new location or event, it’s our self-made tradition to have a new New Year experience each year.
