ReplyDeleteParis! What a wonderful destination, Manos! If you've always wanted to visit the City of Lights then you'll definitely enjoy the groomed gardens of the Versailles Palace.You'll also love the night landscape as seen from the Eiffel Tower! Just join our next educational trip to France!!!
DeleteMy favourite travelling destination is Salzburg. Salzburg is a city at the centre of Austria. There are many landscapes, houses and places to see and many traditional food to eat. Salzburg it's a beautiful city, especially at winter, because the snow is falling and make it 10 times more beautiful than before. Salzburg has a spectacular places and landscapes and a huge ski centre,which is wide open, where is at the slope and people can do ski, snowboard, slade and many ather sports and they can relax at the centre's cafe/restaurant. Salzburg is a wonderful city which I suggest it to you. I think you'll have a great time and fun.

You are so right, Dimos! Salzburg is a beautiful city, especially in winter, with its snowed-in castle and delicious desserts like the famous Salzburg Nockerl and the amazing, chocolate Sacher Torte! There are so many spectacular places to visit too. Let's make a quick trip there in the winter and climb the nearby Alps Mountain, as well!
DeleteFirstly,the place I want to go is London in England [UK] which is one of the most popular and beautiul cities worldwide.
ReplyDeleteSecondly,I want to go to London,because I want to see sights like the Big Ben and because I want to buy many beautiful things that exist in the wide collection of shops that some of my friends have recommended to me.
Finally,I want to there,because I want to see how foggy and rainy is the weather there and how are people who live there reacting about the weather.

Simos, what an insightful comment: How are people affected by the weather patterns in their country? Well, you'll have the chanc to ask in our next educational trip to London!
DeleteI would like to visit Paris! There are only four reasons why I want to go on holidays to Paris. The first reason, is because I am learning French for a couple of years now, so this travel could be a nice training. Second, I want to visit the Aifel tower, and see all the great stores which there are on the tower. Third, I would like to go to Disneyland, because one of my friends has already go there, and she has told me that it's a great place! She has also told me that if I decide to go there, I have to go for a walk to Disneyland's garden. Finaly, I want to see some of the museums, and all the great restaurants.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite travelling destination is Santorini. Santorini is perhaps the most fascinating and the most talked about island of Greece in the Aegean. Santorini has numerous sites to visit. If someday I can afford to go there I want to visit the volcanic landscape. I also want to swim in the gray and red beaches. I would like to stay to the dazzling white houses, which have panoramic views and watch the beautiful sunset. I even want to walk at the paved roads and explore the island. I consider that is a great travelling destination. Santorini I a wonderful island and I suggest it to you!

The most exciting place to go for holidays is on an island with my family or with my friends. At the island I want to have some open air or indoors archaeological sites. One thing that is characterized the island is the wonderful windmile. Many times I have been at a island I had never see a windmile so I want to see once.The beaches must have warm water with sand and no rocks and shallow.We will stay at a hotel with pool and breakfast. This will be the best way for holidays ever!!!

Dear Jane,
ReplyDeleteHow are you? I want to tell you about the kinds of holidays that I like.I love all kinds of holidays,but especially I like the exploration but also and the relaxation.That's why I fancy going at the beach.It's a marvelous place,where anyone can swim,play and go diving.Anyone can also get rest and relax.The beaches are a major place where live a lot of common and special kinds of fishes.The beaches are suitable for families and companies.Finally,they are usually visited in summer.Here,in Greece there are a lot of spectacular beaches.Some of my favourite are the beaches in Paros and in Lefkada!What's your opinion about it?
