Whenever we go on holiday abroad we always really try to get to know as much as possible about the location and see as much of it as possible. We do this by going out for walking trips on tracks, paths and moni-paths to discover beaches, villages and general scenery.
Our site content is therefore often orientated towards walking but we
think our photos and descriptions do show off the various locations for non-walkers
too for sightseeing and touring trips whilst on holiday. In addition we have
lots of information about things like costs for car-hire, food, buses, beaches and so on
to help give an idea of what the place is like for a holiday. We do enjoy
beaches and sunbathing and where possible some nice nude swimming and sunbathing
(and where posstible taking nudist walks) so on many of
our travel destination pages there are a series of beach photos and often
indications on which beaches are used by and are ok for naturists.
Note - there are no nudist photos on our site -
our content is suitable viewing for all ages.

Greek Islands are
particularly good to visit in the Spring if you enjoy Greek Island Walking
when especially some of the islands are covered in wild flowers, lots of
different birds around and the mountain streams still have plenty of water
in them (Lesvos and Andros are brilliant for hiking in the Spring). Flying
times out to the various islands is around 3 or so hours although quite a few of
them don't have jet capable airports so it's not unusual to have to do
the final leg by ferry or catamaran - all good fun and part of the Greek Holiday
Experience. It's great to go off hiking in the hills and countryside on a Greek Island using it's tracks, kalderimi, moni-paths and paths and then finish off the day by stripping off and getting your back and other bits globally warmed on a beautiful -possibly- deserted beach you have found. An additional bonus if you like getting out and about is that many of the Greek Islands have now been mapped - often quite accurately - which is great for Greek Island hiking trips. On the individual island pages (our holiday guides currently cover the Greek Islands of Lesbos, Symi, Skiathos, Lefkada, Thassos, Crete, Samos, Naxos, Skopelos, Alonissos, Andros, Lefkas, Skiathos, Mykonos, Paros and Paxos) we have sometimes mentioned relevant maps all of which are now available from book shops or web site based map stores. Also we must mention the excellent "Sunflower" series of books - we always check to see if a relevant edition is available before going to a "new" island |

| Canary Islands: Our Fuerteventura, Lanzarote and Gran Canaria travel and holiday guides have general information about hire car, buses, beaches, restaurants .. with lots of photos and quite a few walks descriptions. We like to go on holiday to the Canary Isles in late Autumn since there is a reasonable chance of good walking and beach weather. |

Sharm El-Sheikh. This Egyptian Red Sea holiday resort may be of interest for a holiday if you fancy some winter sunshine (and excellent snorkelling or diving). There are photo from around the resort showing beaches etc. Also described is our (extremely cold) night walk up Mount Moses/Mount Sinai (in the Sinai desert) to see the sunrise followed by a look around St Catherines. |

Walking Instructions. These are correct to the best of our knowledge but we cannot
guarantee 100 percent accuracy - particularly on Greek Islands tracks and paths do
get changed and sometimes destroyed. A good map should always be utilised
particularly on longer/remote walks.
Links. Link exchange is welcomed from relevant sites as long as they are not heavily
commercialised - by relevant we mean sites which are on a similar theme to
our own.
Other. Copying any of our "walk instructions" for personal use is fine but do not
copy/take our walks details or photos for your own web-site - please do your own
thing. All the content on this site remains the sole property of John Fox,
