TRAVEL DESTINATIONS

ATHENS

During the day and usually all night, this city is busy and full of life. It has everything from the ancient to the most modern. Shopping can be great fun at the designer stores in Kolonaki or, if you don’t have much money, then you can find some great things to buy at Monastiraki Flea Market. Eating in Athens can be very cheap, especially at the traditional tavernas where the atmosphere is very friendly. If you like sightseeing, then as long as you have time, there is plenty to see but, of course, at the top of your list must be the spectacular 2,500-year-old Parthenon, the symbol of the city.

CAIRO

An ancient city where you can find the traditional and the modern existing together. ln the bazaars you will find handmade leather goods, jewellery, rugs, shoes, bags and exotic spices. The city also has many ancient monuments and sights. It would be impossible to go to Cairo and not visit the amazing Pyramids of Giza. Perhaps you may even like to take a camel ride! The Egyptian museum contains all the gold and jewellery that was discovered in the pyramids and is a truly unforgettable experience. You can also take a trip deep into the desert with a jeep, just ask your holiday representative to organize it for you.

NEW YORK

In this city it is possible to eat whatever you want as it has more than 6,000 restaurants, from the most romantic to places where you can take the children. You can try food from all over the world in areas called ‘Chinatown’, ‘Little India’ and ‘Little Italy’. Many say that it is the shopping capital of the world and with thousands of stores offering a choice from cheap second-hand clothes to the most expensive designer labels, there is something for everybody. The ‘city that never sleeps’ is also full of life at night with bars and clubs playing all kinds of music. Of course, no stay in the Big Apple would be complete without a visit to the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty.

LONDON

lf you don’t mind the fact that it might be raining while you are there, then this city has much to offer. With hundreds of museums and galleries, there is always something to do while sheltering from the rain. In the evenings you can see a show in London’s theatre district in the centre of the city, where there are more theatres together in one area than anywhere else in the world. The hundreds of different cultures that live together in this city mean that you can eat food from anywhere in the world before going to one of the many nightclubs. Don’t forget to try the London Eye, a big wheel that takes you high above London to enjoy the great views.

PARIS

It is known as the city of romance and is famous for its beautiful tree-lined streets. Of course, the French are famous for their cuisine, but be careful when you are going out to eat as restaurants can be very expensive. Always check the prices on the menu outside (if there isn’t one then it won’t be cheap). You can take a walk along the River Seine and the view from the top of the Eiffel Tower is a must on any trip to Paris. You must also visit the enormous Louvre museum where you can see what is probably the most famous painting in the world, Leonardo da Vinci’s La Gioconda.
