Here’s some great information on Meteora, Greece.
The Greek word Meteora means “suspended in the air”, and our
words meteorite and
meteorology come from the same root.
The conglomerate rock at Meteora, Greece, has eroded into
fantastic
peaks upon which medieval monks built monasteries, several of which are
still active. The isolated monasteries of Meteora helped keep alive
Greek
Orthodox religious traditions and Hellenic culture during the turbulent
Middle Ages and Ottoman Turk
occupation of Greece (1453-1829). In 1988, UNESCO declared Meteora to
be
a World Heritage Site. |

Here’s a good collection of palaces you can visit in Europe.
| I have been living in Istanbul for more than 25 years. Naturally, I’ve visited all historical and touristic places in Istanbul. Istanbul has rich historical past since it became a bridge between different cultures, societies and even civilizations. It is like a bridge between Europe and Asia as well. It is also a backdoor opening through Ottoman and Bizantian Empires. Being impressed by the historical tissue of Istanbul is almost impossible. Every year, there are millions of tourists visiting Istanbul becase of it’s historical importance. This article covers five historical places which impress me. Without delay, I would like to introduce you to those places. |

Here’s a new type of seats for Japan Airlines that might be great for all you business travelers who need all the amenities.
|
Luxury air is what best describes Japan Airline’s (JAL) new suite. Designed by London-based James Park Associates (JPA), it features a 19-inch display, “a large side shelf, literature pockets and a laptop power point.” Click here for first picture in gallery.
|
“The console features stowage spaces for bags and small items, whilst the ottoman can be used as a seat, should the passenger choose to dine with a partner.” The best part is you get to sleep like a normal human and slobber on your pillow as opposed to all over your shoulder.
