Greece

As an avid traveller, I am interested in two aspects of travelling. Firstly the destination obviously that is very important, but for me, of more importance is the getting there and getting around once you are there.

Let me explain in more detail. If I was looking at destinations I wanted to visit before I die or at the very least before I lost all my hair or my marbles, it would have to be somewhere like Greece. Not only is Greece a beautiful Country, let's not discuss the state of the Euro, the people are also very welcoming and hospitable. The food is basic not what I am used to in Cheshire but certainly meets with my approval, as a carnivore, having a great variety of dishes, their mezzes are delicious and a huge quantity of meat dishes!

However I would want to, not only explore the islands and their ruins, but also to discover their history and culture as well. Whether that is by land, sea or air (preferably all three). To really see anywhere and really appreciate it, it is no good sitting in a five star hotel sipping tequilas by the pool. This can be very relaxing for a day or two but with most hotels being very similar, you could be anywhere. How satisfying is that? For me...not very.

If however I had just dropped anchor in a little cove on an small island that can only be reached by  sea, dip into the sea for a swim, go ashore and explore a few ancient ruins, have dinner, made from local produce and hopefully mixing with a few of the local people. Just the thought brings a longing for me, as much as I love eating out in Cheshire this as it gets! It would be almost perfection and would certainly take my mind off the fact I had to comb-over what was left of my hair every morning.
