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.
Exploring Tampa’s Historic District
Recently I visited Hyde Park, a community located in the heart of Tampa's historic district. I was in awe at how much the outdoor oasis had to offer. The streets had multiple unique businesses such as Downtown Dogs, a store with out-of-the-ordinary dog toys where the chew toys replicated consumer delicacies. Next was a dessert bar and jungle store called Leafy Luv Affair which sold trendy urban indoor plants. The list of fantastic stores continued. This place was posh yet organic, with various designer stores and lavish restaurants.
Howl-O-Scream
This weekend I ventured to Tampa, Florida's Busch Gardens to enjoy Halloween festivities during its Howl-O-Scream hours. I felt like I was in a movie, emerging into a horror film set with creatures that evoked fear, each of which played their respective part to a tee, creating amusement park by day and a chaotic horror town by night.
