This is because the country of Greece has been infused with much of the foundations that built modern society. From philosophy, math, art, to architecture, politics, and so much more. The point is, that Greek culture is one that encapsulated the world and is still doing so now.

Because of that, the country of Greece has long been considered a tourist favorite for vacations. So to help with yours, here are three of the best things you can do in Greece!

Climb Mount Olympus.

The Kingdom of the Gods is actually pretty accessible to all that visit Greece. And it’s a mountain everybody can climb as well.

Just know that it is pretty high, so make sure you had some preparation before you start hiking it. But once you do, you can only look forward and reach the pinnacle in order to see that one of a kind view.

Check-in at Santorini.

Santorini is the place that we’ve all probably seen by now. A beautiful village type place that people can actually check-in to and admire the place in all its beauty.

It’s the island for all honeymooners, so if you’re looking to spend some quality time with a loved one, then this is the place to go. It’s a small village that has white walls on every building and blue roofs. This signifies Greece’s royalty and sophistication, which make it a luxurious getaway.

You can also explore the island yourself and revel at the beautiful architecture the brilliant Greeks from the past left us and has now been remodeled into a more modern setting.

Relax on Balos Beach.

After a full day of exploring the islands of Greece, climbing mountains, venturing caves, and visiting historic monuments, you deserve a little relaxation along the beach.

And there is no better beach in Greece, than on Balos Beach. It’s a beach covered in blue lagoons that would open up to the big blue itself. Along with that, you’ll also be able to see a plethora of underwater life, ones that you never thought you’d see.

So if you’re looking to spend the day sunbathing along the white shores of Greece, then come and check out Balos Beach. It’ll be worth the trip, trust me!

The country of Greece is a land full of mysteries, and adventure. It’s the land where the Greek Gods flourished, philosophy came from, democracy born, and life as we know it changed forever. So if you’re looking to check this place out, now you know exactly what to do. …

Why Your Next U.S Visit Should Be San Francisco.

Golden City Oysters San Francisco Tiki Culture Uncategorized

Why Your Next U.S Visit Should Be San Francisco.

By Trever

The Golden City, San Francisco. Something about that nickname can really make you feel proud of the place you came from, doesn’t it? Well, you have every right to be! But so should the ones who have actually visited the great city! With tourist attractions practically everywhere, you would think that that is all the city has to offer. But more than those amazing sights to see, there are a bunch more reason to see Frisco, and here are some of those said reasons.

The Oysters.

Every city has its staple food that really put it in the map. For Frisco’s case, it would be the oysters. And let me tell you, they are something everybody should be able to taste at least once in their life. You heard me, not just when you visit the city, but once in every person’s life. But you might be wondering what this guy you’ve never met before is even saying? Well, here’s the deal, you know how San Francisco is surrounded by water? Well, that makes it a great spot for all fishermen. And because of that, all throughout the years, these fishermen were able to haul in a lot of crabs, mussels, and a variety of other crustaceans. But oysters, are the golden boy in these waters. And to get the best oysters, you can get them from the Oyster Depot on Polk, and the S.F Chronicle.

The Golden Gate Bridge.

Now, no visit to this great city would be complete without being able to go to Golden Gate Bridge itself. Spanning nearly 9,000 feet long, this great wonder is a staple in the Golden City. How do you think it got its nickname? Well, though it isn’t really because of the bridge, it’s still an amazing spectacle every tourist should be able to walk on. Sure, it’ll take you around two hours to go to one end and back, and yes that does sound like it’s a lot of walking. But with sights like Alcatraz island, the churning water below, the wind blowing through your hair, and the sun just beaming down on your back, those two hours would probably be the fastest you will ever have in your life.

Tiki Culture.

Tiki culture? What is that? Well, Tiki culture is what other people may refer to as polynesian culture. It just has more ring to it, that’s why they chose that name. Anyway, so what if there’s Tiki Culture here? Well, you see after being extinct in the late 90’s, the culture is finally coming back stronger than ever. This is because the people of San Francisco have been looking for a certain tropical thrill, and what better way to do so than bringing the culture near your doorstep? With Polynesian pop everywhere around the corner in San Francisco, you’ll find yourself wanting to live that tropical life pretty often.

Conclusion.

San Francisco is a city of various cultures and breathtaking sights. This article does not do it enough justice, especially with how the environment and atmosphere is so unique and vibrant there. Truly, if you want to live an adventurous life, then try and visit the City by the Bay for you to live life to the fullest. …

Casco Bay City Lake Museum

The Most Underrated American Cities

By Trever

Introduction

Sure, we all know about New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Dallas, and Seattle. But when it comes to the vast land that is America, that’s just the tip-of-the-iceberg. There’s nearly unlimited things to do and places to see in America, and we’ve listed a few here for your next out-of-the-box vacation!

Underrated Cities Across America

Portland, Maine

No, not that Portland. Portland, Maine, set atop beautiful Casco Bay, offers a seaside experience like little else in the Continental US. Get a taste of the sea with abundant fishing wharves, and even restaurants built in the likenesses of old warehouses. Hit up the Western Promenade, an incredible park 18 acres wide that’s officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places. If you want a break from the hustle-and-bustle, head there and just disconnect for a while!

Burlington, Vermont

On the crest of Lake Champlain, Burlington has a little bit of everything. Church Street Marketplace, for example, is four blocks of true Vermont shopping and eating, all outdoor, along truly wonderful and serene walking paths. After you get your fill of food and shopping, head to the Ethan Allen Homestead Museum, a house-museum originally built by Ethan Allen, a Revolutionary War Hero. Even more history and culture can be sought out at the nearby Shelburne Museum, just outside of Burligton. Over 150,000 artworks are spread across nearly forty buildings for your viewing pleasure. That’s right – 45 acres of art. I’d recommend bringing some good-quality walking shoes.

San Antonio, Texas

It’s easy to get overshadowed in Texas — after all, everything is bigger there, right? Dallas, Houston, and Austin are probably what comes to mind first when you think of Texas. But San Antonio is quite the attraction in itself. It’s the home of the Alamo, a now-museum paying homage to Texans’ fight for independence from Mexico in the mid 1800s. After you get your fill of history, walk along the serene San Antonio River, an iconic body of water that eventually extends into the Guadalupe River. When you’re done with that, throw a rock and you’ll hit any number of finger-licking authentic BBQ joints. What a day!

Conclusion

Sure – hit the big cities. But after that, make some time for the salt-of-the-earth that encompasses so much of what we call America. Whether it be hitting up the Alamo in San Antonio or strolling along Church Street Marketplace in the cool Vermont weather, there’s nothing better than exploring the nooks and crannies of the US.…

Miami’s Best Cuban Coffee

By Trever

Introduction
No tour of Cuban Miami is complete without trying some authentic Cuban coffee. For those
uninitiated, Cuban coffee is served in small quantities – because of its big power, high caffeine
content, and strong taste. One small espresso cup of authentic Cuban coffee is enough to jolt you
into tomorrow if you’re not careful!

Why Miami?
Miami itself is a hotbed for Cuban culture. Located just about as close to Cuba as you can get
from the continental US, Miami offers everything from hearty and authentic Cuban sandwiches
to what we’re here for, the deliciously strong and compact Cuban coffee. If you’re looking for a
little Havana in the heart of Florida, you’ve absolutely got to check out these places!

Try The Coffee!
Islas Canarias
‘Café Cubano’ is an important part of Cuban culture and is prominent in social gatherings. For
an authentic experience, you’ve got to try Islas Canarias, located conveniently in the heart of
Miami. You’ll probably be greeted with a wait at this incredibly popular Cuban destination, but
it’s definitely worth it here! Islas Canarias is an all-day restaurant serving delicious breakfast,
lunch, and dinner…and of course, Cuban coffee whenever you want. Go here for an all-around
Cuban meal experience.

Puerto Sagua
Sandwiches and coffee are an incredible pair, aren’t they? If that sounds good to you, you’ll find
it here. Puerto Sagua boasts hearty traditional Cuban Sandwich to appease any appetite – or try a
thick beef stew in the ‘colder’ months. To top it off, Puerto Sagua offers a deliciously unique
Cuban coffee at a reasonable price.

La Colada Gourmet
Dubbed ‘The House of Cuban Coffee,’ La Colada Gourmet certainly lives up the hype. Open
10am to 8pm, you won’t be able to get a super-early or super-late shot of caffeine, but one can’t
complain too much with the quality of the coffee available during business hours. Though small,
with limited seating, La Colada Gourmet offers a flavor and caffeine punch that is anything but!
If you’re on the lookout for the one true authentic Cuban coffee experience, this place may well
be it.
Conclusion
If you’re a coffee-lover, you’ve got to try Cuban coffee. It’s unique, always presented well, and
strong enough to get a kick to even the most season of coffee drinkers. Throw a rock and you’ll
hit a Cuban coffee emporium in Miami and Little Havana. And yes, that’s a good thing! One
parting tip – just start with one cup. It can be a lot stronger than you think!…
