Sailing on the North Aegean: Where to Go

Explore the paradise that is the Greek coastline of the North Aegean Sea. With untouched landscapes, tranquil settings and crystal clear waters, you will be in your element in this stunning part of Europe.

Whether you are an accustomed day skipper or you are gaining valuable experience of sailing, the North Aegean is a perfect base for you and your family. With water-based adventures and sports activity holidays on land, you will certainly be spoilt for choice when it comes to planning your itinerary.

With flotilla routes around the coast of beautiful Halkidiki, the sheer volume of hotspots to absorb can be overwhelming. There are flotilla stops dotted all over this area, including picturesque coves and traditional marinas. Visit any of the rustic villages on the Kassandra and Sithonia peninsulas and immerse yourselves in the culture and heritage of this Macedonian paradise.

Continue on your voyage to the shores of Mount Athos – a peninsula surrounded in mystery, seeing as visitors are not allowed to wander its land. Catch a glimpse of its Byzantine monasteries and absorb its scenery from the comfort of your yacht.

Moor at any of the beachside spots to spend some quality time soaking up the sunshine on one of Halkidiki’s beautiful beaches. Sail further to find a secluded cove, untouched and deserted. For one day only, feel like the inlet is your private paradise. Swim in the azure seas, snorkel and explore the underwater life, or just bask in the sun on your own patch of Utopia.

With steady, consistent summer winds, a climate to die for and some of the most exquisite scenery and landscapes you could ever imagine, the North Aegean can be a perfect destination for your sailing holiday and will guarantee you return with memories that you can cherish forever.

 

Davao’s Best: Durian – The King Fruit

 

Durian is one of the best fruit I ever tasted. The smell is like hell but it tastes like heaven. Wonder why? It is because of the creamy and very sweet fruit. You will likely hate it for the first time that you taste it but mind you. I am 100% percent sure that you’ll be looking for after afterwards. Lol.

Durian is in season now, a lot of vendors are everywhere you could almost see them from corner to corner and the price of durian right now is as low as 30 pesos per kilo. What a savings eh? If you’re now hypertensive then you can eat as much as you can but for those with high blood pressure and maintenance, well you may have to taste a small bite.

This fruit is an aphrodisiac, if you are a married man. Then tonight is the night! He he. So, if you are here in Davao City grabbed the opportunity of eating a lot of fresh Durian.

Long Weekend in Davao City

It has been a very long weekend here in Davao City. Over 5 days ago, due to the celebration of Kadayawan Festivals 2012 the Malacañan Palace declared August 17, 2012 as a Special Non-working Holiday here in Davao City alone. The city was in a very festive mode, traffic is everywhere because a lot of people where roaming around and enjoyed the holiday.

August 20, 2012 and August 21, 2012 were declared as a nationwide legal Holiday in observance of Eid’l Fitr and Ninoy Aquino’s Death Anniversary. For the first time, we enjoyed a very long weekend and I love it.

Another long weekend is coming and hopes you had a great time with your family and love one. As always keep your family first before everything else.
