Samos Island is full of great beaches but by far the most beautiful ones are Mikro (small) and Megalo (big) Seitani on the north western coast of the island. They are not easily accessible but this gives them their unspoilt natural beauty. The only way to get to the beaches is by foot or potentially by boat, although I would highly recommend to do the hike as it's a scenic walk through pine forest and old olive trees and you get lovely views over the northern coast of Samos. I am not an experienced hiker but setting off from the port of Karlovassi it takes about 30 mins to reach Mikro - and from there another 30 mins to get to Megalo Seitani. There are no shops or any other facilities at the beaches so it's important to bring plenty of water and food.  As the name suggests Mikro Seitani is the smaller one of the beaches with beautiful crystal clear sea. This is a good place to take a break before heading towards Megalo Seitani. You only really notice how big Megalo Seitani is ...

Living in Bristol, Bath is only a 10 minute train ride away for me and is therefore great for a day trip. However I do recommend a visit for those living further away as it's just a beautiful place. I have been to Bath a few times before but never got round to seeing the Roman Baths so this was the main focus for this trip. If you have time it's definitely also worth to go for a relaxing session at the Thermae Bath Spa , nothing can beat the  heated  outdoor pool with views over the city. Other points of interest are Bath Abbey, the Jane Austen Centre and the Royal Crescent. Hope you enjoy my pictures below.        Parade Gardens Bath Abbey Bath Abbey The Roman Baths View of Bath Abbey from the Roman Baths The Royal Crescent Royal Victoria Park Royal Victoria Park Jane Austen Centre River Avon Pulte...
