Beach of the Caravelle, Sainte-Anne, Grande-Terre, Guadeloupe

rose Leave a comment

The beach of the Caravelle is a beach adjoining the Club Med in Guadeloupe and of course it is well maintained. But to get to it you have to go a long way by the beaches that are not maintained at all and sometimes it’s a bit difficult if you go with the kids or if you have difficulty walking on a completely irregular path. Once you arrive, you will feel that you are in a place like the beaches you see on the postcards. White sand beach, crystalline water, with plenty of trees to protect from the sun. You can not access to the Club Med but there is a beach bar that is accessible to everyone. There are several aquatic activities to do and it is okay if you go with children as there is not a big slope or big waves, it’s more like a natural pool.

Tips

There is no parking so you will have to leave the car at about a fifteen minute walk. You can also leave the car at Pointe-à-Pitre, take the ferry and walk.

If you do not like bugs, be careful as the iguanas walk between people and pass on your towel without any inconvenience.

Copenhagen, Denmark

Copenhagen is the capital and largest city of Denmark, located on the east coast of the island of Zealand facing the Øresund Strait that separates it from Sweden. At its origin the city was a fishing village; founded by the Vikings in the 10th century. Today, the city is the seat of the government, the National Parliament and the Danish monarchy and Christiansborg Castle is home to several institutions. The standard of living is very high. Vesterbro (trendy area), Rosenborg Castle and the Latin Quarter are in the historic center. One of the most famous symbols of the city, the statue of the Little Mermaid, lies to the east, on the coast. There are several bridges and the port of Nyhavn is very picturesque with its colorful wooden houses. It is also a city that promotes cycling with many kilometers of bike paths. Several cruise lines have chosen Copenhagen in their itinerary. To see: Kronborg, Rosemborg, Frederiskborg, among the castles; the Amalienborg Palace, the statue of the Little Mermaid, the Danish Museum of Fine Arts, the National Museum, the Tivoli Gardens, the Cathedral of Our Lady, among others.

Tips

If you are taking the public transport, ask about it as you can travel with the same ticket in different areas.

You can also take a ferry to Oslo (Norway) or Swinoujscie (Poland).

If you visit the city in July, you can enjoy the Jazz Festival.

Giardini-Naxos is an Italian municipality in the metropolitan city of Messina in Sicily, located about 40 kilometers from Messina, about 39 kilometers from Catania and 9 kilometers from Taormina. The city is located on the Ionian Sea. This place was long ago the first Greek establishment in Sicily and had the name of Naxos. The city is very visited for its beautiful sandy beaches and tourism is the main source of income. We find hotel facilities and even apartments for rent throughout the summer period. You have a nice stroll for long walks, souvenir shops, bars, pizzerias and restaurants to have a good time by the sea. The center of the city is the Abbate Cacciola Square. To see: the Nike (the work of Carmelo Mendola representing the city and the twinning with the city of Chalkida Eubea); the church of St- Mary Recommended; the statue of Teocles (the founder of Naxos); the archaeological park; the port of Naxos, the church of St-Pancrace among other attractions.

Tips

If you are in Taormina, there is the bus that takes you to the seafront of Giardini Naxos.

There is also a small harbor, which is used to bring tourists from cruise ships to the mainland.

As you can imagine, this is the place to eat fresh fish dishes.
