The New Hampshire Highland Games & Festival, one of the largest and most vibrant Scottish festivals in the Northeast, has been running for nearly 50 years and celebrates Scottish heritage with passion and excitement. Held annually at Loon Mountain Resort in Lincoln, the festival offers a dynamic mix of athletic competitions, music, food, and cultural events. Enjoy thrilling events like the caber toss and other traditional heavy athletics, watch Highland dance and pipe and drum performances, and shop for Scottish goods in the Vendor Village. The festival also features seminars on whisky tasting, Scottish history, and more. With activities for all ages, including a Clan Village where you can trace your Scottish roots, it’s a lively celebration that draws attendees from across the region and beyond.

A trip to Santorini wouldn't be complete without a wine-tasting tour. The island's volcanic wine is particularly renowned for its crispy flavour. Santorini Wine Adventure is based in Fira and offers tours to explore local wine, food and culture, as well as the picturesque countryside.

This small chapel is the embodiment of a centuries-old urban legend. It is said that the cliff-side abbey was built after an unknown horse rider galloped up the Old San Juan street and fell off the edge. It has been restored several times but still proudly shows signs of its age.

This cliffside hike is one of the best ways to take in the island, spanning approximately 9 km from Fira to Oia, with Imerovigli and several smaller villages in between. It’s not difficult, but parts of it are steep, rocky, and exposed, so bring water, sturdy shoes, and start early to avoid the midday heat. Expect churches, caldera views, and the occasional detour through quiet paths. It takes around 3–4 hours, depending on pace and photo stops. Ending in Oia means you can reward yourself with dinner and a view—just be ready for the crowds if you hit sunset.
