Lush landscapes are intertwined with invisible threads with the unique natural eclecticism of local architecture, creating a canvas unique in its charm and expressiveness.

Kos

Very often it is called the “island of Hippocrates” or the “garden of the Aegean Sea”. Only after visiting here can you understand why. Picturesque villages scattered throughout the island, a variety of architectural monuments, soft sandy beaches and the azure sea in harmony with each other create a surprisingly magical atmosphere of this place, which attracts many guests here, forcing them to return here again and again.

Leros

Once upon a time, this place was chosen by the eternally young goddess of hunting Artemis for herself and her companions. Having gotten to know Leros better, you begin to understand “why” and completely agree with the choice of the goddess: it is difficult to resist this beauty and the amazing atmosphere of peace that reigns in this place.

Mykonos

The most secular island of the Aegean Sea, and in summer season– perhaps the whole of Europe, Mykonos is located in the center of the Cyclades Archipelago. Its area is only 86,125 square kilometers, and the number of permanent residents is almost 9,500. But in the summer, the island literally “sags” from the tramp of tens of thousands of tourists, morning and evening walking along the narrow cobbled streets of the capital-port of Chora, and in the evening dancing and having fun in hundreds of bars , restaurants and pubs of the island.

The island of Rhodes is not only not small, but in some ways simply colossal. Its beautiful beaches are pristine but not wild; Here, perhaps, Cicero rested, Caesar “crammed” his lessons, the Apostle Paul set foot, and there stood a statue of the Colossus - here myths were born. Therefore, staying on the island of Rhodes is not a purely physiological holiday, but also a cultural one. The Colossus of Rhodes, having fallen, “sunbathed” for 700 years - that means I liked it.
