Cool Sardinia Beaches Travel Gallery

Sardinia's beaches, time-forgotten sea towns and archaeological ruins make it worth a visit even during peak season. The island is connected by a series of romantic trains that provide stunning views often inaccessible from roads. At Forte Village Resort, which is located in a 55-acre coastal pine reserve, seven luxury hotels offer a variety of packages. To the north and west are more islands in the sun; more than a travel feature can cover. To go close to a manageable description, something has to give. Fortunately, there will be another time for the beautiful islands of the eastern Mediterranean - I promise.

But even without these little dots in the warm seas around Greece and Turkey there are enough islands to keep a traveller happy for a lifetime. There is, of course, a great deal more to Sardinia than the Costa Smeralda and the Riviera del Corallo - there's a whole islandful of things to see and do. South-central is where the main chain of mountains runs; snow-capped for four months of the year and a popular climbing and walking venue in gentler seasons. The coastline is longer than mainland Italy's entire western side, with resorts dotted around natural harbours and scenic inlets. You could take in most of them in a two-day tour by car.

There are two separate kinds of agricultural activity in two different areas of the municipality: the first in the higher part of the Guadiaro Valley called Salitre, which is rich in irrigation water and therefore suitable for certain types of crop, and the the second in the Genal Valley itself, an area covered in oak, cork, pine, olive, almond, fig and chestnut trees, suitable mainly for the cultivation of fruit.

Cool Parthenon in Athens Greece Travel Towers

The Parthenon is a temple of the Greek goddess Athena whom the people of Athens considered their protector. It was built in the 5th century BC on the Athenian Acropolis. It is the most important surviving building of Classical Greece, generally considered to be the culmination of the development of the Doric order. Its decorative sculptures are considered one of the high points of Greek art.

The Parthenon is regarded as an enduring symbol of ancient Greece and of Athenian democracy, and one of the world's greatest cultural monuments. The Greek Ministry of Culture is currently carrying out a program of restoration and reconstruction. The Parthenon replaced an older temple of Athena, which historians call the Pre-Parthenon or Older Parthenon, that was destroyed in the Persian invasion of 480 BC. Like most Greek temples, the Parthenon was used as a treasury, and for a time served as the treasury of the Delian League, which later became the Athenian Empire.
