One of the Ancient Wonders of the World…
"In ancient times the Colossus of Rhodes once “straddled” over the entrance to Rhodes harbour. It was one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, so big ships would sail beneath its legs! "
@travellustlarry's Top Tips
"Go early in the morning to beat both the cruise ship hordes and the heat! You will benefit from this and have great sites such as the Avenue of the Knights all to yourself, making it more atmospheric!"
What do you love most about Rhodes?
"Rhodes Old Town is a real mix of cultures with the influence of the Ottomans, Romans, Ancient Greeks, Christian & Byzantine Empires, reflected in its old medieval alleyways and hidden corners."

What is there to do in Coron?
"In Coron, the best thing you can do is island hopping. You get to spend the whole day on a boat visiting paradisiac islands, snorkelling with incredible creatures and enjoying the clear water."
What can you see while snorkelling?
"You can see turtles, colourful fishes like these funny 'Nemos', starfish (I loved the blue ones) and corals (I had never seen that much live coral in my life!)."
How many places do you visit?
"It depends on the tour you decide to take. Numerous locations include places to go snorkelling, visit lagoons and relax on nice beaches. You will go on these cute boats that are called “Balangay"."

What do you love most about Dubai?

"Live once Travel Well", is my main motto for life. I love to travel, go on outdoor adventures & family travels/adventures. When I'm not traveling, I'm busy planning my next adventure ☺️
What do you love most about Ko Tao?
"I initially went to Ko Tao for a few days and ended up staying for almost 2 months. This island is pure magic, with paradisiac beaches, crystal blue water and so much marine life."
Favourite time of year to visit Ko Tao
"The best months are between February and April when the weather is warm and dry."
Best sunset spots?
"Well, let’s start by saying that sunsets on the island are on another level. I literally haven’t missed one in 2 months. Secret Bar and High the Moon are the perfect spots for a good view!"
You can’t leave Ko Tao without…
"Getting a scuba diving certificate! Did you know Koh Tao is so far the cheapest place in the world to get a PADI certificate? What are you waiting for? "
@torresani_filippo's Top Tips
"Rent a bike to go around the island, and avoid taxis which are super expensive. If you’re looking for a peaceful vacation, avoid staying around Sairee Beach. I would say Chalok is the best area to live."
Favourite beaches...
"Pretty much every beach on the island is very beautiful, except for the ones close to the harbour. I would say Shark Bay and Aow Luek are my good-to-go beaches."
