IONIAN ISLANDS, GREECE LUCINDA ROSEN

My favourite destination is the Ionian Islands. Specifically the smallest ones: Ithaka and its tiny neighbours, Meganisi and Paxi (also known as Paxos). These are regularly described to me by charter clients and captains as ‘heaven’. Blessed with natural beauty, crystal clear waters and lush greenery, they offer complete tranquillity and traditional Greek island charm. Unlike some of the larger Greek islands, they have somehow


managed to preserve their authenticity and traditional way of life and have evaded the curse of mass tourism. There are picturesque villages to explore, charming and full of character. You’ll find idyllic beaches, rich cultural heritage and plenty of outdoor activities. The calm waters are ideal for swimming, snorkelling and kayaking. Plus, these islands are home to a surprising amount of wildlife. What’s not to love?


access resources such as Duolingo Stories, which are short audio stories that allow you to check


your comprehension skills as you go through the steps of grammar and comprehension.


BABBEL More like an online


school curriculum. The minimalist layout of the Babbel app helps prevent a new language (French


for me) from seeming overwhelming, without making it boring.

Cool, sleek and fast, this stroke is the ultimate in style. Goggles on, it’s head down, arms churning overhead, feet kicking beneath and breathe. Don’t take things too seriously, loosen up and have some fun!

DOGPADDLE DAVE Not everyone loves water and Dogpaddle is the most basic of survival strokes. It might not be fast or stylish but at least it will get you ashore. It might be

better to stay out of the water if this is your stroke of choice!


BREASTSTROKE BARBARA Admittedly it’s a stroke preferred by old ladies in flowery bathing caps, but slow and steady wins this race. Glide and kick in a most leisurely fashion and remember it’s not about speed, it’s looking good while you get there.

The most challenging of strokes with dual arm action and a dolphin kick. If you can master this, you’re winning any challenge but remember, it’s easy to look like you’re drowning. You don’t want an embarrassing rescue!
