This Greek Island Has All the Culture and History without the Crowds

Have you ever fallen asleep wondering where the 19th-century musical tradition of Rebetika — the Greek version of the Blues — originated? Just in case you have, the answer is the Greek island of Syros. Music isn’t the only reason to visit, though; Syros, capital of the Cyclades, escaped the rampant development defining many destinations, retaining an aura of tranquility and a rich landscape reflected in historic churches, eclectic museums, ancient sites, a collection of neoclassical mansions and enchanting fishing villages with traditional white-washed buildings.

Hotel Lilou is More Than Just a French Countryside Hotel

Hotel Lilou, with an exterior in shades of peach and pale blue, is a local heritage site. Originally called The Hotel des Etrangers, this property existed in the 1800s before eventually being renamed to Hôtel du Parc. When the site was put up for sale in 2020, French entrepreneur David Pirone bought it, with the renovation taking three years. Redesigned by Paris-based Haddou Dufourcq, the property opened last year with four floors and 37 rooms, and immediately became popular with locals and international travelers.

AVA Resort Cancun Review

There’s something to be said for choosing a resort located close to the airport and starting your vacation quicker instead of spending an hour in a taxi or shuttle bus. As soon as my driver left the terminal, we could see the massive AVA Resort Cancun in the distance; after a mere 15-minute drive, we arrived in front of the resort’s curvy white, wave-like buildings. The all-inclusive property opened last June with 1,622 rooms in 13 categories.
