Food, Drink and More Drink in Hersonissos

15 September, 2018

Summer has to be, without a doubt, my favourite season.

But then June comes along and it’s like a switch has been flipped. The sun comes out – along with the shorts – and the whole nation’s mood changes; it’s a time for beer gardens, sundowners and endless summer

Find Romance in Ravello on a Couples Retreat

11 September, 2018

Few places say “romance” (or perhaps whisper it seductively into your ear) like Italy’s Amalfi Coast.

Perge is one of the highlights of a trip to the beautiful Antalya region of Turkey, which is well known for other archaeological sites, such as Termessos. Historically it was recognised as a hugely important city in ancient Pamphylia and today it is definitely worth a visit. Staying in Perge is an option, of course, but I would recommend choosing Kumkoy as your base, which is a short 22-minute drive away. It is more affordable and has a relaxed, laid
