Dive shops, resort activities and tour boats are always plentiful in the Caribbean. If the resort doesn’t have their own private boat for snorkeling excursions and day-trips, chances are there are many to choose from just down the road. Don’t forget your camera.

1 – Ambergris Caye, Belize

Built on fishing and water sports, Belize backs up to the second biggest barrier reef in the world and Ambergris Caye is an excellent spot from which to anchor a visit. Coral atolls, manta rays, eagle rays, reef and whale sharks can be seen as divers maneuver the walls, swim through caves and tunnels of Hol Chan. Hol Chan is great for night dives and one of the world’s best shallow dive spots. In just six to ten feet of water, snorkelers can see fish normally only seen by divers.

Impressive from the air, the Blue Hole is the most famous dive site in Belize. Divers descend 130-feet into the ethereal blue abyss for a quick yet completely breathtaking excursion.

2 – The Baths, Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands

Grottoes and pools formed by granite boulders from the island’s volcanic birth make this a favorite spot for photographers. Located nearby, Devil’s Bay offers a cave, cup corals, and a crayon box of colorful sponges in crystal clear water.

3 – Bonaire Marine Park, Bonaire

Designated an official marine park, the calm, clear water of Bonaire Marine Park is untouched and unspoiled. The reef starts right at the edge of the water and scenic sites sit just off shore. Parrotfish, anemones, elkhorn and staghorn coral, moray eels, sergeant major fish, seahorses, nurse sharks, tarpon, turtles and goatfish make this spot a photographer’s dream. Reef features include spur, groove and buttress formations and small wall dives. There are also large and small wreck sites.

4 – Buccoo Reef, Tobago

Rated by Jacques Cousteau as the third most spectacular reef in the world, snorkelers can take a glass-bottom boat to see angelfish, parrotfish and blue chromis, as well as elkhorn, starlet and brain coral. On a lucky day, you can catch sight of manta rays gliding peacefully through the clear water.

5 – Molinaire Bay, Grenada and Cancun, Mexico

The steel and concrete underwater sculpture gardens by British sculptor Jason de Caires Taylor give an artistic ambience to undersea adventures at these spots. Merging art and the environment to form a reef system for marine life to inhabit, the sculptures convey a message of hope and prosperity within the human and natural world.

Anchored in place, the sculptures are placed perfectly for snorkelers. Just a few of the haunting statues include life-size human figures forming a circle with joined hands, a registrar keeping track of an underwater archive and a young girl propagating pots of coral. The Cancun sculpture reef is one of the most visited waterways in the world.

6 – Stingray City, Grand Cayman

A tourist mecca that must not be missed, beginner and experienced snorkelers get a thrill from this once-in-a-lifetime experience. Feed, touch and snorkel among graceful stingrays as they glide by on soft, silken wings.

7 – Trunk Bay, St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands

A marked underwater nature trail, stingrays, turtles and more than 50 species of fish make Trunk Bay one of the most popular snorkel spots in the Caribbean. Underwater plaques identify the coral and fish found in the gentle water, which is perfect for beginners, families and small children.

1. Venice is composed of more than 100 islands.

A more detailed map will show you that Venice comprises of more than 100 islands separated by canals. They are intricately laid out but not so complicated to navigate. You can go from one island to another by crossing tiny bridges here and there. The Grand Canal is the biggest division between the islands.

2. The best way to tour Venice is by Walking.

Walking around Venice will give you the best view of the city. Those maze-like alleys will lead you to 16^th century churches and piazzas that few travelers get to see. The candy-colored streets of Burano Island are best explored walking.

3. Venice canals do not smell.

Contrary to what other tourists say, Venice doesn’t smell at all. If anything, you’ll smell salt water in the canals. Some say though that during summer when water levels are lower in smaller canals they can smell a bit. Other than that, Venice stays odor-free.

4. Venice is an almost car-free city.

With people used to walking and taking boats, cars are of little use in Venice. You will rarely see cars parked in the city. The absence of tire sounds and cars honking makes Venice even more serene than it looks.

5. Food and lodging in Venice is pricey.

Knowing that the city is beautiful per se can be both a blessing and a curse. The blessing is being flocked by tourists all-year round and the curse is being over charged for being one of them. Hotels and even hostels are expensive in Venice. Budget hotels are rarely available there. Food is  too pricey to even taste delicious. The best way to go is to eat where locals eat not in tourist-oriented restaurants.

6. Transportation costs a lot in Venice.

Riding a gondola may be romantic but it can rip off your wallet. Make sure you check the official gondola rates before you even get into one. Bus-boats are pretty expensive, too. That’s why the best way to tour the city is by walking and you get to appreciate it at your own pace.

7. Venice sleeps early.

There’s no nightlife in Venice. Shops and restaurants close early. However, Venice at night is probably the time when it’s most beautiful. The lights that illuminate the streets, the fog over the canals, and the blanket of stars hovering above are just some of the reasons why Venice is deemed romantic.

8. Getting lost in Venice is a must.

Venice is best appreciated when you’re just wandering around. You will be surprised that getting lost in quaint alleys is a wonderful experience after all! Allow yourself to be surprised by Venice in every turn.

9. There’s practically no off-season in Venice.

Venice is packed with tourists the whole year. It’s also one of the most popular stops in Mediterranean Cruise itineraries. Avoid the herd and go where nobody else goes because every Venetian local knows that the undiscovered gems are hidden in the city’s puzzle streets.

10. Venice has the most exquisite churches.

Every traveller must set his foot on St. Mark’s Basilica and revel at its splendour. The St. Mark’s piazza in front of the basilica is equally spectacular. San Giorgio Maggiore is also a must-see. It was designed by famous Italian architect Andrea Palladio. If you have the time, you can spend one Sunday morning listening to Benedictine monks singing Gregorian chants.

Venice can captivate you at first sight. It’s a city worth the travel and the money. But it doesn’t mean that you can’t travel to Venice on a budget. Venice has a lot to offer for every adventurous traveller willing to veer away from conventional tourist activities.

So how do you create you’re ideal Greek Island holiday? To reach the islands, most travelers will opt for cheap flights to Athens then from the city, enjoy a cruise through the islands. If you’d prefer to stay on one of the islands there are numerous ferries that service various locations.

The Greek Islands are made up of over 600 islands, 227 of which are inhabited, offering quite an impressive choice for holiday makers. Whether you seek a party island to mingle with locals and tourists alike, or a more private holiday that embraces Greek traditions, there’s an island for you.

Here we list our five favorite islands of Greece.

Mykonos

Photo credit: Apel.les

Popularly known as the party island, Mykonos is the beating heart of the Greek Islands. This is where those iconic white-washed houses on the cliff-side reside, as well as super resorts and designer boutiques.

It may appear glamorous and touristy, but there’s much more to Mykonos than its roaring nightlife. This island is a great destination for families with safe beaches and a welcoming atmosphere. And despite its designer sheen, you will still find tiny villages, quaint windmills and donkey’s carrying people along windy roads on Mykonos, proving the island is still very much Greek at heart.

Santorini

Considered to be the classic Greek Island where romance abounds, Santorini is famous for its spectacular views and beaches. As a volcanic island, Santorini is quite steep and rocky. Its impressive cliff faces lining the island are where you will find some of the best ocean views and legendary sunsets. Lending itself to that holiday spirit, the island is also home to a number of wineries as well as ocean activities including snorkeling.

Skyros

If you’re not keen to travel far from Athens, the island of Skyros is a favorable choice. Despite only being an hour’s ferry ride from Greece’s capital, Skyros remains relatively untouched by the tourist hordes. As such the island has managed to preserve much of its own identity and culture; Skyros’s only form of transport is by donkey or foot. It may not offer the luxurious resort living of Mykonos, but for a traditional Greek Island experience, few can match Skyros.

Hydra

Hydra is a popular day trip island, but if you’re open to experiencing a peaceful Greek holiday you’d be wise to stay a little longer. While geared towards tourists Hydra is determined to preserve its innate beauty. The island has a ‘no high rise’ policy and motorized vehicles are banned. Instead, Hydra is the perfect place to exercise your legs or take a boat taxi to tour the island. While sandy beaches are few and far between, Hydra has a number of great places to swim. Step down a ladder into calm azure waters and soak up the Mediterranean beauty. What could be better?

Evia

Evia is the second largest Greek Island after Crete. Due to its size Evia doesn’t always feel like an island. But this can have its advantages. There’s no off-the-beaten-path charm to Evia. Its infrastructure and transportation are on-par with the mainland. Getting around is easy and resorts are plentiful. As such Evia is witnessing a growing trend for wellness tourism, with travelers flocking to the island to enjoy day spas and health retreats while surrounded by the picturesque Mediterranean ocean.

Tahiti

While Tahiti is known as a chain of islands, within that chain is also the individual island of Tahiti. Papeete, the capital, is located on the northwest coast and home to the only international airport the islands offer. So if you’re flying to any part of French Polynesia, your journey will begin on the Island of Tahiti. As it is the most populated island in all of French Polynesia, Tahiti is home to landmarks, such as the Paul Gaugin Museum, and events such as the International Billfish Tournament.

Bora Bora

Bora Bora is a mountainous island encased in a reef and surrounding aquamarine lagoon. Much of the island is comprised of the lagoon, which makes it a popular destination for those visitors who enjoy swimming.

Diving is also a popular activity, as Bora Bora boasts white sand beaches that are shallow and sloping. Hundreds of tropical fish, manta, eagle, and grey rays populate the lagoon and reef as well as black tip reef sharks, which have been trained to swim near the lagoon entrance for feeding time orchestrated by trained guides.

For those who prefer to stay closer to the water’s surface, snorkeling is also offered, making Bora Bora a vacation spot for any type of swimmer to remember.

Moorea

Moorea means “yellow lizard” in Tahitian, which originated from the name of a former chief. There are no actual yellow lizards on this island, nor are there any dangerous insects in any part of French Polynesia.

Moorea is 11 miles northwest of Tahiti and formed in the shape of a heart due to its volcanic origin. Geologists speculate that, thousands of years ago, a large portion of the volcano either fell into the sea or was blown away by what was still left of the volcano, accounting for the island’s unusual shape.

Manihi

Manihi is a tiny coral island located in the Tuamotu Archipelago, part of French Polynesia. It is home to no more than 400 inhabitants, as the majority of the island is comprised of a coral reef and a 19 mile long lagoon. The island offers yet another prime location for those who are more aquatically inclined. Diving and snorkeling are popular activities here and visitors can experience swimming alongside fish, rays, and turtles.

One of Manihi’s more unique features is its black pearl farms, which are spaced throughout the lagoon. These commodities can only be found in Manihi, although they’re actually on display in a museum in Tahiti.

The Marquesas Islands

Most know Marquesas from the popular television show Survivor. However, the Marquesas Islands have a history dating back even before 100 AD, when they were settled by the Polynesians and later named circa 1595 by Alvaro de Mendana de Neira.

These islands boast the largest tiki sculptures, large figures or totems usually carved into wood or stone, out of all the islands as well as ancient ruins and majestic waterfalls. Most impressively, they are the final resting place of Paul Gauguin.

French Polynesia is a group of islands that is both foreign and exotic. While comprising the same stretch of islands, each also has individual features that make it unique in its own way. Together, the islands make French Polynesia what it is today.

Stone Mountain

Stone Mountain Park is located outside of the city of Atlanta but it is one of the most popular attractions in the area. The park is named for the huge mound of granite that is the centerpiece of the park. The stone includes a well-known carving of military leaders of the Confederacy. The Summit Skyride will take you to the top of the mountain where you can walk around and enjoy fabulous views of the Atlanta skyline. The park also includes a number of other rides and attractions (open seasonally) including a scenic railroad and the Antebellum Plantation.

If you are a lover of music and the international club/dance/rock scene, then Ibiza should of course be the number one choice for you! Home to some of the best clubs in Europe, including Es Paradis, Amnesia, DC10, Space and Privilege as well as the infamous Ibiza Rocks Hotel where you can enjoy the latest live rock music, Ibiza is one of the most popular destinations for music lovers in the world!

But if you are the kind of person that prefers the quieter side of life, don’t let the major music scene put you off visiting Ibiza, as the island has many quieter areas and resorts that are as equally impressive in their own individual ways such as the resort of Santa Eulalia, which is perfect for romantic getaways and honeymoons, where you can enjoy a relaxed, calm atmosphere and explore the old style village and beautifully cobbled streets, as well as taking advantage of the many fantastic restaurants and the gorgeous white sandy beach.

The resorts on the island of Menorca resemble the resort of Santa Eulalia as they are a lot quieter than many Ibiza resorts and are not over-saturated with lively club goers, so you will find it easy to relax here but still have the option to visit a lively bar or two.

There are plenty of shops, boutiques, bars, restaurants and of course many fine sandy beaches, where the waters are beautifully clear, so you and the family can enjoy some great water activities such as diving and snorkelling!

Known for it’s beautiful stretches of coastline, the island of Majorca is home to some of the best beaches out of all of the islands and you will be pleasantly surprised with the diverse range of sights and activities when travelling the island.

It is however, a fact that hot summers of Dubai brings the number of European, Canadian, American, and North Asian tourists down to a significant size. The outdoor fun and activity, which marks the life in Dubai limits itself during the summer time. This does not mean that Dubai would not be fun in summers; in fact, the size of indoor activity doubles its size in summer. I have compiled a list of best things to do in Dubai during summer.

Dubai Summer Surprises

Shopping malls in Dubai hold an annual summer fiesta each year. This events spans over 10 weeks and focuses on activities related to families with special stress on educating kids. Each of these 10 weeks is marked with a new theme. Dubai Summer Surprises is held regularly since 1998. Giveaways worth of thousands of pounds, edutainment activities, cheaper shopping and dining as well as seeing the Modhesh World at its peak are some of the highlights of Dubai Summer Surprises. More than 50 shopping malls in Dubai collaborate for this festival feast and you can well imagine the sort of price cut you can enjoy on all deals of major shopping malls in Dubai.

Ski Dubai

Ski Dubai is your most effective answer to scorching summer heat of the region. As part of the Mall of the Emirates, Ski Dubai is functioning since 2005. Several instructors and helping staff is available during the public timing of this indoor resort. The raving features that dominate and define this indoor skiing facility include a 60-meter high mountain that has 5 slopes, a quarter pipe, and a black run.

Pool Parties

Pool parties are quite common in Dubai, especially during summers. These private pool parties are held in holiday homes, pools of known hotels, private homes, and at private homes. It is interesting to note that young and wild crowd of Dubai is fonder of pool parties than having the similar fun at public beaches and it is also a fact that such pool parties are more fun than spending time at a public beach and you will find out why as soon as you become part of one such party held in Dubai

Nightlife and Live Entertainment

The clubs and bars in Dubai experience more activity during summer nights. Various artists, musicians, DJs, and entertainers visit Dubai during summer time and leave the echoes of life and celebrations in the city. The wild and sweaty concerts held under artificial lights on big venues attract all kinds of music enthusiasts. The live entertainment in Dubai is not limited to concerts and music shows, in fact world’s popular companies like Circ Du Soleil also performs live in Dubai.

Desert Camping

The summer nights in Dubai with full moon can be enjoyed best in the Arabian Desert. Since the brutal wind of summer days get even savage in desert, you better discard the idea of having Desert Safari in summer but the same desert acts differently at night when temperature drops to various degrees and winds become pleasant. BBQ, music, dance, and the gentle sight of Arabian dunes spread across the wide horizon look heavenly under the moonlight. You will fall in love with the Arabian Desert as soon as you visit it in a fresh summer night.
