Islands and Islets Travel Guide to Hydra, Saronic Islands, Greece

I could never suppress my curiosity as to why only 227 islands (like Hydra Island) out of a whopping 6000 islands in Greece are inhabited. Such a large number of (5700+) uninhabited islands are left vacant by this generation of technologically well-advanced people makes one conclude they are uninhabitable to due to various reasons such as: Lack of good water Too little space Inaccessibility Unsuitable soil for cultivation And etc Groups of the Greek Islands: All the […]

If you have already toured a few islands in your lifetime, you would […]

It is paddy that is harvested first and then converted into rice. Bali means volcanoes, long beaches, lush tropical jungles and rice terraces. Why the Terraced Paddy Fields in Bali Mountains? Bali’s landscape comprises of volcanic mountains resulting in deep gorges that are […]
