Spectacular Santorini - The Jewel of the Greek Islands

Novelist Henry Miller says “It takes a lifetime for someone to discover Greece, but it only takes an instant to fall in love with her”. I couldn’t agree more. The darling of travelers, Greece always fascinated me. But I also felt that there was something mystical about it. Isn’t that why we use the expression “Greek and Latin” for something incomprehensible? More than six hundred years before Christ, Greece transitioned from a mythology-driven society to rational modernity. A number of Greek philosophers debated and wrote commentaries on issues concerning daily life, merging the abstract with the real—science, religion, and mathematics. Their work formed the basis of the evolution of modern city-states like Athens. Later, this evolution spread to many European countries and beyond. The contribution of erudite Greek thinkers to our world is profound. Fortunately, everything in Greece is not all Greek and Latin, neither is it just some high-brow philosophy. In reality, Greece is a lot of fun. Enjoying the delightful sun and sand, taking in a little history and culture, and perhaps overindulging in some local brew to wash down the sumptuous seafood that only the Greek isles can produce - This is why I go to Greece. It is out-of-this-world good. For a real vacation, few places in the world can come close to Greece. Greece has some 5,000 islands, large and small, scattered between the Ionian and the Aegean seas. Only about 250 of those are inhabited. Not all of them are similar in their vegetation or rock formation, but most have a vestige of an ancient civilization. One thing is common, they all possess a breathtaking, picture-postcard beauty that comes from the crystal-clear, deep blue waters surrounding them, and their gorgeous beaches tucked between the surfing water on one side and the rugged mountains on the other. Beyond their natural beauty, these little islands are packed with history, mythology, and geological wonders thanks to their volcanic past. My favorites, the popular islands of Mykonos, Milos, and Santorini in the Aegean are part of the circular group with a special name, Cycladic. Santorini is romantic. It is for lovers and honeymooners. It is a place to laze around in the sun, sipping your favorite drink, taking in and enjoying the indescribable vistas of nature’s artistic creations in various shades of blue and white with a colorful backdrop of rugged mountains. The charming village of Oia is where most of the blue-domed, picture-postcard churches are located. That is where I looked for Aishwarya again and again.

St. Petersburg - the Cultural Capital of Russia

St. Petersburg in my eyes is the most spectacular city on our planet. The Winter Palace, the Hermitage, Catherine Palace, and Peterhof in St. Petersburg define imperial affluence. If I were to see only one city in the entire world, it would be St. Petersburg. Venice of the North. With their magnificent museums and palaces, large and lush gardens, Paris, London, Rome, and Madrid have been the most popular destinations for discerning tourists. And then there are other great European cities like Venice, Milan, Lisbon, Barcelona, Berlin, Budapest, Prague, and Vienna, most with meticulously planned public spaces, some with delightful waterfronts and aesthetic bridges, and almost all with towering churches, spacious plazas, and famous statues and monuments that are architectural masterpieces. Major parts of these beautiful cities have grown organically over centuries. Now imagine a brand-new city planned and developed from scratch and combining some of the best features of the famous older European cities. That was the dream of Tsar Peter the Great. He wanted the best of European art and architecture in one place, his place. So 300 years ago, in the year 1703, he specially commissioned some of the greatest architects of Europe to build for him the city of his dreams. They did exactly what he had in mind and thus was born St. Petersburg. It is simply unmatched in its beauty. If you have been here before, you would want to come back again and again. St. Petersburg is the nation’s cultural capital, rich and diverse in its offerings. It has an astounding number of public facilities—221 museums, 2,000 libraries, more than 80 theaters, and 100 concert organizations. It is home to the Hermitage, one of the greatest art museums in the world, on par with the celebrated Louvre in Paris. Also located here is the world-famous Kirov Dance Company (now Mariinsky), the greatest center of music and ballet and historically, home of brilliant dancers like Rudolf Nureyev, Natalia Makarova, and Mikhail Baryshnikov who are admired throughout the world. Among the innumerable tourist attractions here, the biggest appeal is for the former imperial residences like Peterhof with its majestic fountain cascades and paradise-like parks, and Tsarskoe Selo which has the impeccable Catherine Palace of stunning baroque design.
