There are many popular destinations worth visiting in Northern Greece. But Halkidiki is the place that is receiving an increasing number of tourists. Halkidiki is on the Aegean Sea coast and the little area is full of seaside resorts. The tourist destination appears as three legs if looked at from above (some will say 3 fingered claw) and these are jutting out into the sea. One has to take a flight to the Thessaloniki airport to reach the peninsula. There are many properties in Halkidiki that you can rent, but the villas are the most exciting ones.

Typical European Style Villas

The Halkidiki villas for rent would mostly be large ones with 4-5 bedrooms and many baths. You can take your whole family or a large group of friends and stay comfortably. You can find villas which are fully furnished and the kitchen also equipped with everything you need to cook your own food during your stay. Since you have chosen a seaside resort for this holiday, pick one of the properties in Halkidiki that is right on the seafront. The amenities provided are at par with similar accommodation you get anywhere in Europe. They provide linen and a television with the DVD player for entertainment and so on. Check the terms of renting out these properties in Halkidiki online and make the booking. Technology allows you to get a fair view of the place on Google Maps. So there will be very little to surprise you when you arrive.

Things To Do At Halkidiki

Depending on your particular interest you can spend your vacation in Halkidiki. Once you have picked up and settled down in one of the Halkidiki villas for rent, the calm waters of the Aegean Sea itself will keep you captivated. The view from the villa's balcony will be another way to relax and enjoy the time. But if you wish to explore your way around, there are historic sightseeing spots on the islands. The Cave of Petralonais is one such attraction that tourists never miss.

If you get to see some of the churches in the islands, take the time and learn their history. Some have interesting stories attached to them like being turned into mosques and then reclaimed by the Christian faith later.

No Dearth of Eating Joints

You may never be far from a restaurant in Halkidiki. Like any tourist destination, the resorts have their food outlets and you can find a variety of cuisines there. The local preparations and locally made wine are quite a craze among the tourists. Try them at least once to gather the experience.

Generally a good place to vacation, Halkidiki should be your next holiday destination if you wish to have that laid back and relaxed time; no timings to keep and no rushing through the traffic.

The world is a smaller place today and students regularly travel abroad to study. Or they may be taking a gap year to travel the world. Whatever be the case, these students don't have access to funding or support from family and friends the way they would at home. And since youth also brings a certain amount of carelessness, accidents and illnesses are not out of the question.

One of the most important things students who are planning to go abroad can do is get travel insurance before travelling. The preconceived notion is that insurance policies are very expensive is not true anymore. Today, there are tailor-made policies designed just for students who are working with a really tight budget.

Choosing the Right Kind of Travel Insurance for Students

Choosing the right kind of travel insurance for students is very important. Here is a list of things you should look for in your insurance cover to ensure that you have a comprehensive budget travel insurance package:

  • Ensure that hazardous activities are covered as standard in your insurance package. Students will take part in sports, and these can cause injuries. Having coverage means that they are covered and need not worry about prohibitively expensive medical bills.
  • Look for a policy that offers 24-hour emergency assistance. You never know when you could need help, so it is important to know you have a support system in place.
  • Look for standard coverage for pre-existing medical conditions. Insurance companies can provide free medical coverage as part of the standard cover for a range of conditions. Check to see if your condition is a part of that list. If it is, you could save a lot of money on medical bills.
  • If your medical condition is not listed as a part of the insurers' standard coverage, connect with them to see if they can provide extra coverage for your condition.
  • Go through the policy in detail and see if there are add-ons that you need which are not a part of your standard cover. You may need to customize your policy so that you can get cover for your valuables, cover for cancellations, excess waivers, etc.
  • Make sure that there are no hidden costs when you are buying your travel insurance policy. Ask for details of all costs up front so you know exactly how much you are paying for your policy.

  • Ensure that there is a 'repatriation back home' option in your insurance plan.
  • Choose the right kind of cover for your trip. If you plan to stay in Europe, you will get a cheaper plan. However, if you plan to go to countries other than Europe, be prepared to shell out some extra cash.

Ideally, you should not have to use your travel insurance at all during your trip. However, if the worst does happen, then you will truly appreciate the protection that you travel insurance plan offers you.

People have always asked questions like "How can I obtain cheap airfare?" and "When is the cheapest time to fly?" The answers to such questions depend on a variety of factors including the location, tourism trends, price fluctuations, weather, season, and so forth. The more flexibility you have, the easier it will be to find a good deal. If an emergency situation arises and you have to get on a plane within the next couple of days, you'll have to keep your fingers crossed and hope that you can get an affordable, last-minute deal.

You can also check and see if there are any discounts or promo codes that can be used on travel sites. There might be something available right now to help bring down the cost of travel-related expenses. If you can't be flexible with the timing then perhaps you can be flexible with the airport. Even though it may take longer to get to your destination, you might be able to save if you fly to an alternative airport and then take the bus or train the rest of the way.

A lot of experts claim that the "Prime Booking Window" for purchasing airfare is between 3 weeks to 4 months in advance. It's during this period of time that the fares are often the lowest.

As mentioned above, seasons also affect the price of airfare. If you are aiming for a summer vacation, the best time to hunt for cheap airfare is 1.5 months in advance. The earlier in summer you book, the better the chances of getting a good deal. Fall is usually "shoulder season" for most popular destinations so you should be able to find reasonably priced tickets during this time period, with the exception of Thanksgiving week in the US.

Cheap Airfare Tips for the Holidays

While the holiday season in late December/early January can be costly times to travel, winter, for the most part, has cheap airfare. The Prime Booking Window is 21 days to 100 days in advance. Spring flights can be a bit tricky since it's such a popular month for travel. The temperature is just right for both beach climates and mountain getaways. Plus, it's spring break for tons of high school and college kids. It's recommended that you book exactly 90 days from the travel date.

There is always the potential that something unexpected might disrupt your plans such as personal emergencies, severe weather, etc. So whenever you purchase cheap airfare, make sure you understand the cancellation policy.

Travel websites are the safest and the best place to search for and compare cheap airfare rates, no matter where and when you plan to go on your trip, and regardless of whether you're traveling for business or fun. It's always a good idea to review online promo code offers and coupons as well.

Planning a holiday with your family can be a stressful process, with so many tiny decisions you have to make in advance. No matter how old your family members are, considering everyone's opinion will be a challenging experience. Therefore, it is important to start planning your trip as soon as possible to provide an unforgettable journey for your loved ones.

Before any joyful moments begin, you have three decisions to make: where to go and when, the budget you are willing to spend, and how to get to the airport.

Making a decision on the budget is a must-have if you want to hold the purse strings. It is clear that you want to organize a perfect family holiday, however, it's not needed to spend a ton of money. All-inclusive packages are available if you want to pay extra money. Make sure that the hotel is family-friendly, which will provide various activities for your children. Setting the maximum budget in advance will help you to plan the rest of the holiday. This is the first decision that you and your partner have to agree with.

When the budget is set up, deciding where and when to go is the second thing to do. It's always a good idea to speak with your family about where they really want to go. You can ask your friends for any suggestions. Or you can surf the internet where reviews are very helpful.

Essentially, every family member needs to agree on whether to go on a scuba diving or skiing. Once everyone has agreed, consider what the best time to go on a holiday is. If you want a peaceful quiet holiday, it is appropriate to schedule your trip that's not in the middle of summer or during school breaks. You can find cheaper flights and accommodation in the first quarter of the year and during weekdays.

Next up, you'll want to find cheap airport parking which you can book online. The biggest advantage of airport parking is your car safety. It will be parked in a secure location with 24/7 security. You shouldn't be worried about your car while you are away. It is more convenient to drive your car to the airport, especially if you have small children. They can make a mess in your friend's car or a taxi. Those who have travelled with a group of people know how difficult it can be to pack a car full of luggage. Travelling with your car means the whole space is for you and your family. Do not dismiss this exceptional opportunity - book in advance to ensure your parking space.

A family holiday is an excellent way to spend time with your family.

"I'm taking a gap year", has become the catchphrase of many young (and not so young) people as they make the decision to take some time out from their busy lives and the expectations of a demanding work or study. Rather than just kicking back and doing nothing more strenuous than turning the pages of the daily paper, more and more people are signing up for placements in foreign lands to volunteer on conservation or teaching projects. Although unpaid, these placements enable volunteers to carry out some worthwhile work as well as experience the culture of a different country.

There are various companies who specialise in gap year placements and it is always more advisable to go through a reputable firm than to try and do it yourself. But the main advantage a company will have is that it will be able to advise you on where the best placements are and match you to the most suitable project. 


Africa

Whether your preference is Malawi, Kenya or South Africa, many people's first choice for a gap year placement is Africa. Your life-changing experience could involve working in one of the many projects on offer in this wildlife-rich country. Choose from the Addo Elephant Park, the Hoedspruit Cheetah Project, Kariega Game Reserve, Moholoholo Rehab centre or the world-famous Shamwari Game Reserve. No matter where your placement you will have the opportunity to work on projects where your contribution will provide valuable assistance in research, rehabilitation and maintenance. Once your gap year placement is over you will be able to spend another few months travelling if you have the time and money - so, be frugal!

India

While probably not as popular as Africa for gap year conservation holidays, India has some unique opportunities to volunteer with animals. The Cotiago Wildlife Sanctuary in Goa has a wonderful Wildlife Preservation program which is staffed by volunteers who contribute towards data collection and research. Also in Goa, the Turtle Preservation Program is dedicated to saving the endangered numbers of the local marine turtles. It is also the opportunity to live and work in one of the most peaceful and serene environments in the world.



Sri Lanka

One of Asia's most fascinating countries, the tiny island nation of Sri Lanka is also home to an abundance of wildlife. Unfortunately, due to external factors and habitat endangerment, numbers of some of these beautiful creatures are dwindling. The government of Sri Lanka is extremely committed to preserving their wildlife and there are some worthwhile and adventurous projects for volunteers to become involved in on their gap year. Whether you choose to work in a placement on an elephant project or in one involving the unique Sri Lankan sub-species of leopards, along the way, you will no doubt fall in love with Sri Lanka and her wonderful friendly people. The island is small enough that you will be able to explore it on day trips and weekends away from your gap year placement or, if time allows, once your work is complete, take a few weeks to really wind down and enjoy the island paradise.
