Europe

Athens has been mainly considered as a stopover destination before heading to the Greek islands. In the last couple of years, a number of travellers have opted for spending at least a day or two in Athens. However, if you want a proper introduction to one of the most historical cities in the world, then you must spend at least 4 days in Athens.

During our 4 day Central Bohemia trip we visited a few enchanting castles which are swoon-worthy as the surrounding landscapes of the charming towns where they are located. Our itinerary took us to discover staggering landscapes, where there was plenty of castle-hopping, sipping delightful Czech wine and learning all about Czech Republic’s rich cultural traditions.

Built to resemble a Medieval castle, the Spa & Wellness Hotel Zámek Lužec is characterised by its hunting chateau style and pristine natural surroundings.

Vetrov Castle Hotel, a four-star property owned by the Castle Hotel Collection is one of the oldest castles in Czech Republic.

During our stay in Prague we joined Eating Europe for a Prague evening food tour experience. There is no better time to experience Prague’s culinary treasures than in the summer.

A day trip from Prague to explore the ethereal landscapes of Czech Republic is a wonderful off the tourist trail experience.

For a boutique city stay in Prague look no further than the Hotel Klarov, member of the Asten Hotels.

For its rather small size, Kimolos offers a generous choice of dining options serving Mediterranean classics and home cooked traditional meals. In an unpretentious setting you will try some fresh, insanely delicious dishes.

Arriving in Kimolos you will find yourself in a little harbour with a few tavernas and chic souvenir stores. As you will quickly come to realise according to most locals there is only one main road on the island — which does not necessarily hold true in all cases.

Athens is no longer just a mecca for souvlaki lovers. The city is bustling with exciting dining concepts, impeccable flavours and some of the best rooftop restaurants and bars. Below is our recommended list of restaurants to try in Athens and the Athenian Riviera.
