The cheaper or the beter!

Excursion to the most famous or cheaper? The economic dilemma of discomfort is just splitfrom one line or ... a bill. Based on this year's special edition of Touring we present those Hotels (and those hangouts) that stand out and do not discounts on the quality of their services.

H

ave you ever thought that summer holidays look like a puzzle? I was trying to set my holidays and that thought stucked in my mind. It needs search and money to fit perfect pieces and achieve the perfect result. Because the holiday's mosaic must be perfect. In this special summer edition we present you the best choices for your mosaic. Choose the best and the holiday artwork wll adorn your memories in the next winter and not a patchwork of bad choices that you will regret and you will want to forget by returning to your base.

Relaxation or economy? = Quality or hassle

When time it comes to decide and find the right dates and destination, then other problems start. The duration for example.

And where will we stay? Concerns seem always to move around the financial. The period makes it hard for everyone, with the resources we are willing to spend to see us usually, but we are not sure we are weighing things well. The dilemma that is in front of our eyes, but few that we seem to understand is Relaxation or Economy? For many, it may seem somewhat unrelated. If we look at it in detail it is not so. You choose a destination and accommodation that offers you degradingly low prices by risking the quality of your stay with the odds of not being in favour or giving you some more money but ensuring that the 2-3 or more days of your stay will be real holidays.

Choose to escape from the jail of everyday life to go somewhere you feel free and not another prison, which you just pay cheaply.

Businesses that build their reputation based on the quality of their products & services.

We made an annual edition of the ultimate travel guide focusing on accommodation combining the notorious and so important Value for Money but setting another parameter, the priority in the smallest hotels and hostels that will make us a relaxing excursion to a warm atmosphere.

With excellent care and with people who respect each client individually. Businesses that aim to build a name as a destination of absolute relaxation and luxury, combining tradition and Greek hospitality.

In these we add the best choices to spend unique moments and out of your accommodations. In places that will become your hangouts even if you visit them only once because they will also make you feel comfortable and beautiful. Enjoying quality flavours, traditional and non-traditional. Relaxing in the ideal setting to be every moment as an absolute escape from, not always, beautiful everyday life.

So close your mobiles, open up your imagination and move it to every place separately from what AutoTriti Touring recommends. Choose what you think best suits you. Find dates and leave for the weekend or the most days to rejuvenate. We look forward to your comments at autotriti-touring.gr to continue to send you to the best.

AMORGOS

A Cyclades island different from the rest

K

atapola, Aegiali – the two ports – and Choracomprise the main tourist attractions. The bay of Aegiali is located in the northwestern end of the island. Most hotels operate here, while you will also find plenty of rental rooms in reasonable prices. At the same time, a wonderful extended sandy beachwill more than satisfy you if you do not wish to move around.Slightly northern to this, the little beach Levrosos, surrounded by vertical rocks, stands out.

For the more demanding visitors we recommend the Fokiotripes, Psili Ammos, Hohlakas and AgiosPavlosbeaches. atapola are closer to Chora (6 km) and are located in the southwestern end of Amorgos. The picturesque embrace of the bay is shared between the villages Ksilokeratidi and Rahidi, which along with Katapola constitute the residential presence in the area, where many rental rooms and nice taverns operate. Beaches are not absent here either. You will go to the amazing sandy beach Maltezi with the tamarisks, while also to the Akrotiri, Plakes, TrisIerarhes and Panteleimonas coasts.

K

Μost of the Cyclades islands might have been turned into cosmopolitan resorts, but here in the remote Amorgos, time follows its own course! Thesun, thesea, traditional villages and beautiful beachesare waiting for all those who seek adventure and carefreeness.

Chora

L

ast, but not least, there isthe all-white Chora, one of the most authentic and atmospheric corners of the Aegean.Here you will arrive by following the serpentine asphalt road from Katapola. A small bus that carries out numerous schedules on the daily, will serve your transportation, however it is more preferable to take your motorcycle forgreater autonomy. The white cobbled streets of Chora, with the churches, the castle remains and the dilapidated windmills,still retain the charm of other times.

This bizarre residential cοmpound was created in the course of time around the Venetian castle by the islanders, who sought protection frompirate raids here.

From Chora, most people look for the cool breeze of the sea at the rocky coast of Agia Anna or at the Kambi beach.Also, here starts the road that will bring you to the famous castle monastery of PanagiaHozoviotissawhich, attached to the rock like an oyster, is one of the most impressive sceneries of the Mediterranean.

KYTHNOS

TOURING

This year's holidays are "crying" for Kythnos

With a rich coastline, beautiful villages and plenty of amenities for your stay, Kythnosis offering for carefree three-day excursions including diving within clear waters, inland hikes, fishing and good food. Discreet, modest but close to the capital, surely thenamelessKythnos is not in the place he deserves in the Cycladic tourist activities.

The most beautiful beach of the island

For prive dives

T

hose who love underwater fishing and private coves for their dives in Kythnos will find their own terrestrial paradise.

The scenery is purely Mediterranean and, fortunately, barely ero-

ded by the passage of time and tourist development. Of course, the traditional villages of Dryopida, Chora and of course the countless stone walls that cover the whole island prove the truth.

The beautiful Merichas

M

erichas port is well placed to be sheltered from the meltemi. Here you will find all the services. Plenty of rooms to let, supermarkets, several taverns and restaurants. There is a small clean beach, quite popular especially among the kids, as it has shallow, calm waters. The best time to come here and enjoy the good food in the taverns that stretch their tables on the sand is the dusk, when the sun that is leaving, dyies the sea, the boats and the houses of the settlement in warm colors.

A

narrow tongue of sand seems to hold the islet of St. Luke bound to the land of Kythnos as a white sandy ribbon. The beach of Kolona which is formed here, is the favorite anchorage of all kinds of yachts,as it is protected from the meltemi. Although it is considered to be one of the most popular beaches of the Cyclades, it is not organized. This is

why you will definitely have an umbrella with you, while you will get water from the unique tavern on the edge of the sandy beach.

Make a natural spa

T

ake advantage of the healing properties of the thermal springs in Baths. Since ancient times Kythnos has been known for its hot springs. The underground waters with the healing properties - rich in salts, iodine, iron and sulfur - known from ancient times, are now flowing into the settlement. Walk onto the marina that was built and is a favorite yacht mooring from the Attica coast.

HOTEL OR APARTMENT?

The change that makes your holiday beautiful Destinations and way of transportation are mostly the same on our holidays and excursions.

The only thing that has changed, in recent years, is the choice of accommodation.

Hotel or maybe apartment / house?

More and more people in recent years have been vacillated as to what to choose for their stay.

Classical hotel complexes and hostels have become a serious rival for individuals who decide to rent their home for a short period of time and in

many cases seem to serve even more customers either because of location or price or because of the ammenities they offer, as many feel more intimate by staying in a house than in a hotel room.

This type of transaction is mostly on specialized websites that the owner or prospective tenant, owes and must choose with great care because he trusts either his property or the precious and few moments of relaxation on his vacation.

Discover arendoo.gr One of the prominent and guaranteed quality websites is arendoo.gr. Property owners can safely register their property by searching for their prospective guests / tenants. On the other hand, those looking for a place of accommodation in excellent locations, high quality but also at a very good price find it easy.

At the easy-to-use and modern site of arendoo.gr you can find or register accommodations in many areas of Greece and Bulgaria,

while you are given the opportunity to choose the specifications

you want by creating a qualitative shortlist of the options.

The proposal of the week

Dichori Fokida: Walk to Paradise Dihori is one of the most beautiful mountain villages of Fokida, built amphitheatrically on the slopes of Vardousia, at an altitude of 1,131 meters.

Dihori, as its name implies, consists essentially of two villages, "Pano" and "Kato", which are separated from each other by the Tsoni's stream. Its old name was Kostaricha (the locals called it Costarza).

D

Agia Paraskevi Square.

From Dihori came the most powerful kojabasis in the area, Anagnostis Babalis with his beautiful daughter Kristallo, which was kidnapped by Skaltsodimos, to force Babalis, who had a great influence on the Turks, to mediate and give him armaments , which was done. It is said that the tumbling Kristallowas in love with Athanasios Diakos!

Breathtakinglandscape.

Sightseeing The most important attraction of the village is its two-sided, plane-covered square, perhaps the most beautiful and largest of Phocis, which is paved with natural grass. From the square there is a wonderful view of the endless, others naked and others dressed in the dark green color of the firs, mountain peaks.

Traditionally built houses with red roofs and chimneys give a special color to the village, while two major churches give the stigma of faith in a truly impressive way. At the top of the square is built the stone church of Panagia. It is dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and has a wonderful wood-carved iconostasis (work of wood-carver YannisKintonis), with icons of the 19th century and an elaborate old pulpit. Indeed, according to tradition, the church during

Nature walks The stone-built Kato Vrisi, which retains its old trough, is the daily walk for the locals. If you are willing to go for longer walks, however, head towards the entrance of the village, in the chapel of Agios Georgios where Platidromos begins, a very beautiful path, between small fir trees, which leads to the landmark location, a brothel with spectacular view. A beautiful area, at an altitude of 1400 m, in the fir trees and cedars, with a spring (velouhi), in an area specially designed for rest and dining is Profitis Elias. A little further, in the
