"Author of the text: Jovan Simunovački"

Homer's favorite hero, Odysseus, wandered around Thsasos with the team, and there he heard the enthusiastic song of the siren, irresistibly tempting... If we really want to squeeze out and clean the story of mythological blur - it might turn out that for the Odyssey's pirate ears sounded even more tempting the ringing of the gold from mines of Thassos...

Holiday in August

Once holidaying in August was a matter of prestige.The advantages that brought the holiday in that period were real: the more beautiful and lively atmosphere on the promenade due to the increasing number of people, almost guaranteed weather without rain, the hottest sea, the best-equipped shops...

Paxos and Antipaxos Islands

The author of the text: Tamara Djordjevic Mavromihali

Pause on the way to Greece

There are several good options for a break on the way to Greece.

Veles is one of the largest cities in Macedonia and is located very close to the highway. To reach the city center and restaurant Snupi, that we recommend, it takes about 15 minutes to drive off the highway.

My husband and I are not young, but we have such a

Greek souvlaki - try it!

As we have often listened about the famous souvlaki in Agios Prodromos, last weekend we decided to stop and check they are really so good.
