The City of Athens

This time my visit was to the city of Athens. Every one knows that the Athens is the capital and the largest city in Greece and the birth place of Socrates, Pericles, and Sophocles. It is said that Athens was the host city for hosting the first modern-day Olympic Games.

Well my first visit was to the Acropolis Honestly saying the view from Acropolis was simply Amazing. The only way to go there is by foot, i would suggest a good pair of walking shoes for any one going there. It is said that they used to worship the goddess "Athena" and there are three more temples build there "Parthenon, the Erechtheion, and the Temple of Nike".

A trip to National Archaeological Museum is worth a while. For museum junky they would never want come out of there. To get into the museum you need to pay 7 Euros. Try not to miss these.... The Museum's statue of a smiling Aphrodite preparing to slap a satyr with her sandal; the huge, enigmatically-smiling kouros statues, male Mona Lisa’s of their time; the clean clear lines of early Cycladic artifacts; the large, rich gold masks and ornaments from Mycenae.

Athens is a modern city apart from many multiplexes it also plays a variety of romantic, open air garden cinemas. The open air cinemas are pretty Awsm.

Kolonaki area which is at the base of Lycabettus hill the street is filled with boutiques, restaurants and also has galleries and museums. I myself brought some clothing... like people used to ware at those timings hehehehe.... Monastiraki Flea Market well I took some time off to check this place out. You can say that it is a huge open super market. I happen to visit this Flea market on a Sunday and I got to know that this is the best day. There are many small shops selling almost anything in couple of shops i have seen actual machine guns left over from Nazi occupation, but trust me they look more like a garden tools rather than guns. There are lots of stuff to check out here worry beads, furs, backgammon sets, toy soldiers, ancient Greek bottle openers and cigarette lighters, Byzantine Icons, paintings, statues, postcards, high fashion such as T-shirts, handbags with pictures of the Parthenon and so on... the list is very huge.... i my self bough a couple of lighters.... and they are damn good.

Taking a 20 min drive from downtown is one of the famous beaches "Glyfada" and a few miles more there is another beach called "Voula Beach". The beaches are amazing here the sands the waves and an amazing view of the sea are worth seeing. There are lots of water sports going on (ex:-surfing etc...) I tried to surf, but dint get the hang of it.

And after i have played with water for a while I visited “Lykavittos Hill” This is the highest place in Athens and it’s an amazing view over the entire city and can also see the landmarks like "Acropolis and Olympic stadium. I prefer to walk/hike the entire journey took me an hour to climb although it’s easy at the beginning of the hike; it is not so as easy as it goes on... but it is worth everything.

This was my trip to the city of Athens. The hotel were i stayed was "The Earl Percy Hotel" with a cheap accommodation.

The reason i was able to visit these many places was because the booking was done smoothly.

All thanks to Allhoteldeals

my trip was, lets say pretty interesting.

My Trip to Manchester

This time my visit was to City of Manchester. This lies in the centre of the wider Greater Manchester Urban Area. Manchester is unique place for fashion, on the weekend, I got my self a pair of football shoes from the Saturday’s Tib Street fashion market and they are pretty good, and then I got relaxed at the long lunch (Restaurant) and had a nice cocktail in Harvey Nichol's brasserie.

For shoppers I recommend to go Manchester markets where you get the best bargains (If you’re planning a trip to Manchester). Manchester is one amazing place for knick-knacks and collectables. I got few of my things form the city's arts centre. Trust me the time will just pass away just like that. Getting all u needed for your home you will not find time to see all the things so make some free time for shopping.

The night life of Manchester is an amazing.... The world famous nightclub Hacienda is here and there are many more places in Manchester to check out the night life... here there are many different kinds of recepies in food.. Few of them I didn’t hear or saw them. But they sure taste good. Try them if u can get some time.

But mostly Manchester is the city for football freaks... many of the sporting clubs are here. I got to check out the Old Trafford of the city of Manchester stadium. The Commonwealth games (2002) are the best example for the football fans.... and also there are other sports to check out.., but I am a football fan... There are two main clubs in Manchester one is the "Manchester" and "Manchester united".

After the sports fever is calm downed. I went to check out the country side of Manchester which has some spectacular views of woods, Lake District. Which is preety good for exploring the northern side countryside...

Well this was my tripe to the city of Manchester.
I got to stay in the 3start hotel named The Waverley Hotel. Here they provide Best accommodation.

The trip has been grateful and pretty sporty too….lol
All thanks to www.allhoteldeals.net which provided me with great accommodation and cheap discounts in Manchester.

My experience in Victoria.

My name is David, I am basically a traveler. I have being traveling for a couple of years. My recent visit was to Victoria. Which is in British Columbia, in Canada Victoria is an amazing place for out door activates and an amazing place for romantic getaway.

There is a lot of thing to do in Victoria. I have done hiking, golfing, boating, fishing, and many other things it is one amazing place for outdoor activities. After doing all this I have visited the country side where, I saddled up! For one amazing horseback riding through farm lands, rainforests and sandy beaches. Here I got to view the panoramic views of valleys, mountains and ocean vistas.

For shopping Victoria is one of the places to be visited.... here you can get all most anything... gift shops, shopping malls, markets... and many more. There are some secrete shops in Victoria just four blocks along Government Street, turn right into Trounce Alley, one of Victoria's best-kept secrets shops will be there. It is also famous for hand made chocolates... which dose taste damn good.

If this is not enough i get to view Victoria from an Bird's eye view from 30,000 feet high in the air. Flying off the water from sea to sky in an exhilarating experience never to be forgotten. For bird watchers I would recommend Victoria. There are more than 380 different species of birds, where I got to get the spectacular view of 250 white neck eagles feasting on spawning salmon.
Thanks to this site my visit to Victoria is unforgettable.
