A country of many guises, Greece is a fabulous, year-round vacation destination. It's a land of deep culture with a civilization that goes back a millennia. Greece's landscape is equally impressive, with forests, towering peaks, and, of course, the famous Greek islands. It's the latter, perhaps, that captures the imagination of tourists the most, with the best Greek Islands often recommended by travelers for summer vacation. Spread across the Aegean, Ionian, and Mediterranean seas, like jewels in a vast expanse of clear turquoise, they are a dream come to life.

The islands of Greece are marvelous and varied in their beauty. If you're planning a Greek vacation this summer, you could choose the usual stops for tourists like Mykonos, the city of Athens with its amazing museums, stunning Santorini, or maybe a quieter place like Alonissos. However, if you really want to get away from it all (including hordes of tourists), you can go a bit further afield and visit the remote island of Kastellorizo. It's just a 20-minute ferry ride from Kaş in Türkiye (for only around $38 per person for a day trip) or 2.5 hours on the express ferry (or longer with a local trip) from Rhodes.

If you love Venice but hate the idea of waiting in line for a gondola ride surrounded by throngs of peak season crowds, consider driving a little over three hours to another area with gorgeous views of the Adriatic Sea: Croatia's Istrian Peninsula. This area is a favorite of travel expert Rick Steves, who, on his website, recommends the entire region for its truffles, vineyards, sea air, and vibrant history. This beautiful region has picturesque little port towns that will delight travelers. While it may not actually be romantic Venice, it was once a part of the Venetian republic, and that cultural link endures.

Do your loved ones consult you regularly when they face a crisis? Intelligence is a branch of psychology that lacks a standard definition. Some scientists claim that it is a single ability and others state it comprises aptitudes and skills. Intelligent zodiac signs learn from their experiences and easily recognize and solve problems.

5 Most Intelligent Zodiac Signs

Deciding on which zodiac signs are the most dangerous is not an easy task as there could be many ways of determining what is considered dangerous. Dangerous of course could be a very subjective idea. Your own sign could also weigh heavily in making this list as certain signs, as we know, tend to be more compatible with some than others. So, what am I going to make these predictions based on? I am thinking that looking at the most formidable and dangerous people in our history might be a good way to make the determination of the most dangerous signs. Let’s see what we can learn.
