Situated in the heart of the city centre, the Chester Beatty, formerly known as the Chester Beatty Library, is a museum and library in Dublin. It was established in 1950 to house the collections of mining magnate Sir Alfred Chester Beatty. Its rich collection of manuscripts, prints, icons, miniature paintings, early printed books, and art objects open a window to the artistic treasures of the great cultures and religions of the world.

Kilmainham Gaol is one of the largest unoccupied gaols in Europe. It opened in 1796 as the new county gaol for Dublin and finally shut its doors as such in 1924. Today, the building symbolises the tradition of militant and constitutional nationalism, from the rebellion of 1798 to the Irish Civil War of 1922-23. The great collection consists of a wide variety of object types, including manuscripts, photographs, newspapers, weaponry, artwork, medals, uniforms and personal effects especially related to the political imprisonment in the 1916-23 period, as well as the experience of women during the Civil War.

Agios Nikolaos is a gateway to the East of Crete. With a strategic location on the Gulf of Mirabello, in summer the town becomes a cosmopolitan resort. However, the town's ancient feel lives on. Vouliagmeni Lake, where, according to old myths, Aphrodite and Athena were wont to come and bathe, is not far from the beach of Kitroplateia and the famous island of Spinalonga. Beautiful Neo-Classical buildings line the Old Harbour, a lively spot with an abundance of bars, restaurants and hang-out spots.
