Yesterday we had our coffee at Agia Nicola, there we met our Greek friends and we all went to the beach…and spent around 5 hours there.
After that we drove outside of  Agia Nicola to some village were we had a Mezze lunch at a local Mezze restaurant…i guess it was dinner because it was 7pm already.
we spent a couple of hours eating !! then it was time to go take a shower dress up and and go out again.
We will be checking out of the hotel today and try to find one at Agia Nicola rather than driving up and down to Agia Nicola since we will be spending most of the time there. Read more

This is our third day in Crete, i did some googling while at the airport waiting to depart and found Minos Imperial Luxury Beach Resort & Spa, the rates were way out of buddget but i gave them a call and got a very good deal so we booked a 2 bedroom suite.. the hotel is 10 min away from Malia and 15 min from Agios Nikolaos, it has a nice beach, around 5 or 6 sea water pools, suites with private pools, kids pools, a small aqua park and everything else that a spa should have.

We couldn’t rent a car at the airport so we had to take a cab and stopped at every car rental office on the way and finally found one at Crete Holidays we got a brand new Fait Panda which is great for the narrow roads of the island.

Three days were more than enough at Zakynthos, we rented a scoter and explored the island which was really cool, my friend got to ride a bike for the first time in his life and i just sat behind him and  enjoyed the scenery while he enjoyed driving that scoter up and down the mountain.

Again we have not booked a hotel, but Crete is a big island hopfully we will find something good.

Off to Greece

Work in Cairo is all done, so i decided to go from there directly to Greece..the plan was that a friend will also leave Kuwait to meet me in Athens and from there we will catch the first plane to any of the islands.

All went according to plan and we are at a beach in Zakynthos now, talk about planing 😉

Egypt Visit -the round up-

Cairo,

Make sure you stay at a 10 Stars hotel –Sofitel El Gezirah is good-, you don’t need to spend more than 2 days there…the morning of the first day you visit the pyramids and museum in the afternoon you find a good restaurant and have lunch -grilledfried sea food is your safest bet, then go back to the hotel for a siesta.

In the evening you could take a Nile tour -hotels have the best ones- at night around 1 am find a good night club to watch belly dancing because you didn’t visit Cairo if don’t do a belly dance night.. at 7am you leave the night club back to hotel have breakfast and sleep.

Night clubs: Samire Amis Intercontinental and a couple at Haram St.

Restaurants: Abu El Seed, and Nile City.

Coffee: On The Go at any gas station, Bottled Water: Nestle

Don’t ask taxi drivers or waiters for recommendations, only ask the concierge or do some googling. Read more

A valid reason to go to Sharm

Saw this poster, and thought i should share it…i love the Boney M, back in the days they were “Z” band -yes am that old – i love their music danced to it and still do.

Egyptian movies were the only movies that played Boney M music at the time where the Boney M were way out of fashion…we used to make fun of the people who danced to their music is these movies.

Ironically the Boney M -or what is left of them- will perform is Sharm El Sheikh end of July thru mid August.

Cairo is very crowded and the traffic is awful, there is nothing to do in the morning other than visiting the Pyramids or the museum and this is what we did on Friday.

The best thing to do is to rent a Karta -Hantour- and the guide will show you everything and recite the history of the Pyramids-he can do it in 6 languages-, then he’ll take you to a perfume shop..don’t let them lure to any of that.. don’t even go in.

I was told not to eat and not to drink but i did…we had dinner yesterday at a place called Abo El Seed, its a cosy restaurant in the Zamalek area, they serve local cuisine -i did not know they had anything other than El Fool-.

The food was good, and what’s even better is that 24 hours has passed with no side effects, we had some local starters then a couple of Tagine dishes and finally Fetair Mishlitet.
