Places:

Samaria Gorge:

Is a national park located on the island of Crete. It is beauty inside out and is full of history. Its just one of those places that should be in everyone's bucket list. The walk itself is way to adventure and my camera was on auto mode I just didn't want to miss anything.

Temple of Olympian Zeus, Athens:

I am a huge fan of history, I love listening to those beautiful stories that my grandmother tells me. I believe Greece tops the list when it comes to history well at least for me. Come on they have god and goddess for pretty much everything -- God of love, God of Beauty, God of music, God of knowledge the list goes on and I love it.

The Temple of Olympian Zeus is located in Athens the capital of Greece and is dedicated to Zeus, King of Olympian as the name suggests.



Food:

Greek food is popular not only in Greece but all over the world and I am sure you walked past a Greek Salad today no matter where you come from.

Yes Greek salad is from Greek and so is that yummy Dip that is know by different names Tzatziki.

If you are looking for a place that includes beach to chill out and seafood to kill your cravings, Cheung Chau Island is the best place. It is located in the Southwest of Hong Kong Island. It is also named "dumbbell Island" due to its shape. In here, you will not only find seafood, you can also have Hong Kong street food like big fishballs and desserts. It is so delicious that you will never want to leave this place. Also, there are some lively street markets and temples for you to explore. On the beach, you can swim and chill with your companies.
