Enjoy A Greek Holiday:Get the Best of Greek Island Holidays When You Find Cheap Holiday Deals to Sinarades

By John Roney


Greek Island holiday destinations offer literally hundreds of resorts ranging from those providing all the facilities of mass tourism to remote places with little more than a few village rooms. Islands also range in size from ones that can be walked around in a few hours to ones that have many major towns and hundreds of villages. Lesbos (also spelt Lesvos) is the third largest Greek island and has almost 200 miles of coastline to offer beach-loving holidaymakers. It is situated in the north-eastern section of the Aegean, only a few miles off of the Turkish coast and twelve hours by ferry trip from Athens. Fortunately the ferry trip is unnecessary because Lesbos has its own international airport.

This resort is not overcrowded. It doesn't have a wild nightlife. It offers very few bright lights and/or excitement. What it does offer is the type of holiday where your family can reconnect with one another and get back to basics. As we go from one activity to the next during busy work weeks we often forget to stop and appreciate the simple things in life. Family holidays to Sinarades allow us the opportunity to remember these simple things and find our way back to them.

One thing you will not want to miss during your holiday to Sinarades if the Folk Museum of Middle Corfu. This museum offers a peek into the past of this lovely little area of Corfu and is something the entire family can appreciate. Package holidays to Sinarades may very well include admission to this impressive museum in the package.

Other tours that may be included are some of these tours that can be enjoyed in the areas surrounding Sinarades: the churches of Extavromenos, Aghioi Pantes, and Taxiarches. You might also want to visit Varypatades, a village a short distance north of Sinarades where you will find the church of Aghios Stephanos and the church of Panaghia Kyradikaia.

The beach and village are framed in a beautiful setting of a green, fertile valley between arid mountains. A pretty lagoon at the back of the beach is the home to terrapins, frogs and seabirds. Children love this area and are often so fascinated by the terrapins that it is difficult to persuade them to leave. In the country side around the resort tortoises can often be seen plodding their way along stony scrubland. But the most fascinating wildlife of all is probably the resident pelicans. These can often be seen waddling around the tavernas in the hope of some free fish. The two birds have become so tame that they get up to tricks on the beach too, snatching tubes of suntan lotion or even books from shocked sunbathers. Sometimes the pelicans will throw the items playfully into the air and then catch them. When an item as big as book drops into the bird's huge gullet, fear for the creature's safety momentarily replaces the humour inspired by the performance. But there is no cause for concern and the pelicans quickly realise that the object has no nutritional value, fetch it back up, and drop it on the sand. Not everyone sees the funny side of the pelicans' behaviour however, especially the person who comes back from a swim to find their beach towel occupied by one of them. But for the onlookers, this usually results in an extremely amusing shooing away scene. More amazing tourist spot and Enjoy A Greek Holiday.
