When it comes to the best islands to visit in Greece, you’re spoilt for choice. But I’ve narrowed down the list for you.

If you’ve been dreaming of an island paradise, Greece is undoubtedly among the most beautiful in the world. It’s only once you’ve experienced the magnitude of these archipelagos with your own eyes that you realize how overwhelming their beauty is.

There are more than 200 inhabited Greek isles and around 6,000 in total. And like many island nations, each inhabited Greek island has its own distinct character – from the white-and-blue washed houses on the Cyclades islands and the lush greenery of the Ionian islands to the castle-lined Dodecanese islands.

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — Fodor’s Travel Guide put Lake Tahoe on its list of “Ten Regions to Reconsider in 2023,” saying the region has become overpopulated.

A family is furious after their 11-year-old son was kicked off a Jetstar flight for traveling without an adult.

Jack Garland, 11, and his sister Scarlett, 13, boarded a flight from Sydney to the Gold Coast in October. Their father was supposed to fly with them but had to come back out due to a last-minute work commitment.

During an appearance on Channel 9’s “Today” show, their mother, Emma Garland, claimed that she contacted the airline prior to her children’s travels to make sure they were still able to fly without their dad. They allegedly said yes since Scarlett was 13.

But Emma claimed that Jack was removed from his seat without explanation given to Scarlett – who stayed on the plane and arrived in the Gold Coast without her brother or even any idea where he was.
