A historic experience awaits those who visit the Chowmahalla Palace. A trip here will offer a glimpse of the lives of royals, and all of the grandeur that has long surrounded them. For some fresh air, take a stroll through the beautiful garden with a pool.

This huge national park located just south of the city's main urban area is a lush expanse of gardens and trees that provide a welcome escape from the city streets for both locals and visitors. The area also houses many monuments and museums, and has hill lookouts just a 20-minute walk uphill.

There are several ferries and (in summer) hydrofoils between Chios and the neighbouring islands of Samos and Mytilini. Try the local Muscat wine in the former and ouzo in the latter for an authentic island taste.

Positioned at the easternmost end of the Belize Barrier Reef, Lighthouse Reef is an atoll situated in the Caribbean Sea along with two other atolls, Turneffe Atoll and Glover's Reef.

Whether you prefer to explore independently or with a guide, you can immerse yourself in the lively coral reef ecosystem and observe its diverse fauna, including Caribbean reef sharks, blacktip sharks, barracudas, stingrays, turtles, and an abundance of other fish.
