Mayor of Athens says tourism in Greece isn’t ‘viable’ anymore as each visitor only adds €0.40 to the economy

Italy and Greece are two of Europe’s tourism juggernauts. Prior to the pandemic in 2019, Italy welcomed almost 100 million tourists. Greece, by comparison, welcomed around 33 million in the same year. Though dwarfed by Italy’s stats, that’s still a hefty number of visitors. Tourists headed to...

There are the big names in wine – the Cabernets, the Pinot Noirs, the Chardonnays. Then there are the more obscure varieties that people love to drop in conversation, hoping their knowledge of lesser-known bottles like Scuppernong might prove them to be somewhat sophisticated and knowledgeable. But then there are the middle-of-the-road wines. The ones that fall somewhere on the popularity scale between the big dogs and the no-names. These are the wines that often get lost in the shuffle, forgotten or cast aside, bringing with them a warm, fond remembrance whenever you stumble upon a glass accidentally. If you’re from anywhere but California, Zinfandel might just be one of these forgotten wine varieties for you.

It's time to get reacquainted with Zinfandel.

Yesterday was the third time this year that an ad stating Chelsea Clinton lives in a beautiful Virginia home popped up on my laptop. My computer did not warn me this was a dangerous site, so this time, I clicked on the link.

A deli isn’t just a place to get a sandwich without breaking the bank. For many, the deli is a lifestyle: a place to build community, get a good meal made by someone who probably knows their order verbatim, and maybe get yelled at by said person, especially if they’re in New York.

People are statistically the most reckless with their money between the ages of 21 and 45, so that’s naturally the most attractive age bracket for advertisers. But it’s also a wide enough gap that marketers have to consider whether they’re going to try and target those on the younger end of the spectrum versus the older.

Homemade chocolate fudge may be one of life's most nostalgic foods. For me, it brings to mind the "individually-wrapped in cellophane" fudge squares that a classmate's mom some times brought to my elementary school classroom to share with all of us for a Halloween or Christmas party. The flavor was about as appetizing as the sentence describing it. And, it was rock hard.

I don’t know about you but summer is definitely my favorite season and I am definitely a sun worshipper. Living in the Pacific Northwest, we do not see enough of it so when it is here, that is where you will find me. Everything I do I do outside when the sun is out and the weather is warm. I wonder who else feels this way. I wonder what Zodiac Signs love the Sunshine. Want to find out? Let’s do a little research.

Collio DOC is a tiny appellation snuggled up against the Slovenian border in north-east Italy. It is a beautiful place. How beautiful? After our recent visit to the region, I noticed that Sue changed her computer’s desktop image to a photo of these hills. Collio replaced another beautiful vineyard area, Cartizze, on the screen, which last year replaced a photo of the Douro Valley. The competition for real estate on Sue’s desktop is fierce. Collio is that beautiful.

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.

The mantis shrimp is one tough customer. Beautiful and deadly are two words you don’t typically use to describe shrimp, but the mantis shrimp is definitely in a class of its own; earning a reputation as the ‘savage boxer of the sea’ and one of the most fearsome creatures in the ocean. And, they're right at home here in South Carolina.
