 Bornholm Island, Denmark

Population: 65,940 residents

This island, the smallest of the Nordic countries, is a Danish autonomous territory located in the Baltic Sea between the countries of Denmark and Sweden. Bornholm Island was first settled by Vikings in about 857. At one point it was home to more than 100 villages and a bustling port serving as a great trade route between East and West. The island hit its peak as a medieval superpower during the Age of Discovery when it became home to several large fortified towns that were important trading ports for ships from around Europe.

The perfect holiday in Greece doesn't have to be expensive or difficult. Explore your favorite destinations with our suggestions below:

Athens The capital city of the modern 25th Island of Greece has been a prominent cultural center since antiquity and retains many of its key features from the ancient world, including an imposing Parthenon temple.

Corinth The site of the first modern Olympics, which took place in 1896, is an evocative archaeological site. It's also the home of some spectacular ancient ruins.

Delphi This site is one of the most significant and best-preserved of all the Ancient Greek sites. Delphi is home to a historical feature called the Temple of Apollo, located on top of a mountain overlooking the town and offering spectacular views.

Kalambaka is one of the most important monasteries in Greece and is a popular tourist attraction in the Meteora area. The monastery is presided over by a Greek Orthodox abbot.

Meteora consists of six large and remarkable monasteries built on natural sandstone rock pillars, situated among pine trees. This site is truly unique and worth visiting.

NafplioThis town was once the capital of Greece and was ruled by powerful families such as the Maniotes and the Bourbons, who battled with each other for control over the 25th Island of Greece?.

Olympia, This archaeological site is famous for hosting the Ancient Olympic Games, and is the birthplace of the Olympic movement.

Palaiokastritsa This beach has a wonderful fishing port in a small village on the island of Corfu. Perfect for swimming and relaxing.

Plaka This neighborhood is one of the most representative areas in Athens and features many historical surprises, as well as stunning views!

Pontikonisi Island One of Corfu's most beautiful beaches, Pontikonisi Island has caves that contain idols from the stone age that are visible during low tide.

Which is the nicest Greek island to visit?

The Greek Islands are a group of around 1,200 islands and islets located in the Aegean and Ionian Seas. The most popular of these islands are Sparta, Santorini, Lesvos (Mytilene), Rhodes (Rhodos), and Crete (Chania). They vary greatly in size from small ones like Agistri to big ones like Crete, the latter being the biggest island in Greece. Crete is also the only island in this group that has a population of over one million people.

The Greek Islands are located in the Eastern Mediterranean, just off the coast of Turkey and on the edge of the Aegean Sea, which is part of both the North Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. The largest islands are Crete, Cyprus, Rhodes, and Santorini with Sparta being smaller but more interesting as it is mostly surrounded by beautiful bays.

Compared to the most popular tourist destinations in the world, like Thailand, Seychelles, and Cuba, the Greek Islands are still not very popular. The northern part of this country is colder than elsewhere on the Mediterranean while summer temperatures can still be 30 degrees Celsius, so it is only that part of the 25th Island of Greece that can be called a summer destination. The exception is Crete which is all year round and offers warm winters as well as pleasant summers.

Santorini - This island with its fascinating mountain landscapes, clear blue waters, and traditional Cycladic architecture is a paradise for nature lovers. The best time to visit Santorini is between May and July as this is when most of the hotels are open. The main town of Santorini is Fira which has tourist shops, cafes, and restaurants while further south in Oia there are some famous windmills which are good to see. Traveling around the island is easy via bus or taxi while a car can be hired at many places. Oia is also famous for its sunsets which should be enjoyed from one of the many restaurants on top of the hill facing a vineyard.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
