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

Destinations

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 […]

Destinations
Bora Bora

If you bother to find out which category of destinations that the honeymooners choose the most, you will come to know that the choicest honeymoon destinations will be the islands and islets that are invariably far away from the mainland with some exceptions of course.

Balboa Artificial islands

Tourism development is at its best in countries that have developed beautiful artificial islands and promote the idea with a passion to lure tourists mostly from neighboring countries.

Beautiful Terraced Paddy Fields in Bali

I chose to name it as ‘paddy fields’ while every other Bali travel site including the official sites of Bali, name them as ‘rice fields in Bali’ instead of Terraced Paddy Fields in Bali. 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 […]

10 Exquisite Asian Islands

Destinations
Asian Islands Palawan

Thus far, I have written about various islands in India, Thailand, Hong Kong, Philippines, Croatia, Greece, and Africa. In spite of a wide coverage, there is some dissatisfaction. When I narrowed down the reason, I realized I did not focus much on selective Asian Islands that the world travelers focus.
