    Plaka

    Posted by dim77 14 June 2007

    Plaka is one of the most popular spots in Athens. Since Melina Mercury cleaned up the area from the noisy bars and night clubs, today Plaka is a quiet small Greek village inside the overcrowded Athens center.

    Best time to enjoy Plaka is early spring and late October when the tourist wave has gone. There are many places and museums to visit in Plaka among them the museums of Greek folk art, the Children's Museum, the Frissiras Museum of Greek painting and the Greek music instruments museum. In Plaka you can see also the Roman bath of the Winds and the Lysicrates monument, next to it was the Capuchin Monastery where Lord Byron stayed. Across the Adrianou street and on the steps of Plaka you will find many shops, cafes and restaurants.

    Limnos island

    Posted by dim77 3 June 2007

    Limnos, or Lemnos, belongs to the north Aegean islands and is a bit of a neglected Greek island and consequently not in the list of budget package holidays.

    The capital is Myrina and is worth visiting if you are planing a tour to the north Aegean islands like Chios, Lesbos, Thassos and Samothraki
