Greece is an outstanding holiday destination boasting ancient wonders, stunning beaches and a top nightlife. There really is something for everyone in this wonderfully diverse country. Greek cuisine is famous for containing particular vibrant flavours such has honey, olives and lemon.

Greek ice cream does not conform to the Western traditions of soft and creamy, here you will find it has a more chewy texture. Pagoto Kaimaki contains golden gum-mastic and thickening salep powder. This sweet, chewy and creamy dessert can also be found in Turkey and Egypt.

You should have no problem finding inexpensive hotels in Greece. One such one is The Sunshine Resort Hotel which is located on the island of Corfu. Despite being located in a tranquil area there are many shops and bars nearby. The comfortable and simple apartments should sleep up to five people.

There is nowhere in the world quite like Dubai. The extravagant and polished city is well worth a visit. The Atlantis Dubai Ice Cream Parlour is famous for its unique serving style. The waiters will scoop a delicious ball of ice cream from the tubs at the counter and then toss it up into the air again and again before serving it in a traditional cone. This is similar to the flair style adopted by bartenders.

The hotels in Dubai are of course known for their lavish extras and attention to detail. Atlantis the Palm Hotel is a world-class establishment that is perfect for families. There are plenty of leisure activities and spa treatments that you can enjoy throughout your stay. At the hotel you can also watch a dolphin show or take the kids on an exciting helicopter ride. The Atlantis Dive Centre is likely to impress would-be divers, whilst those after a dryer challenge will enjoy the rock climbing facilities. The interior decor of the hotel is beyond words.
