This is the perfect place to stay in Benidorm and has a very high reputation amongst both English and Spanish guests. It's in the Ricon area and is about 20 minutes from the main touristy area. This is actually perfect as it means you don't get overwhelmed by crowds. The customer service is top notch and there's a good level of English spoken by all the staff. I think all the rooms have views over Benidorm beach too.

This has to be the best place to stay in Chicago. The interior is decorated with rich wood and leather upholstery and the rooms are very pleasant though hey don't feel overly precious. The best thing about this hotel really is the free buffet open to all guests between Monday and Thursday nights. There's also a great indoor pool from which you can get some great views of the surrounding city. The Homewood Suites are located in downtown Chicago across the road from Nordstrom department stores.

This is a suburb of Chicgo, about ten miles out of the centre of town. It's famous for the large number of Frank Loyd Wright houses located here. It's also known a popular destination for Ernest Hemmingway fans as his birth house is located here. You can get some headphones which will guide you around 15 Frank Loyd Wright buildings. Particularly worth seeing is the Unity temple.

We stumbled across the village of Asfendiou completely by chance one day on the way from Zia. It soon transpired that the whole village is completely deserted and we wandered around for a while inspecting deserted houses a church and an olive oil factory, The traces that people had discarded or left behind were fascinating and spooky.

This building dates back to the 18th century when it was constructed as a mosque. It's still a functioning place of worship but now also hosts a few shops and a cafe. Sacreligious, maybe but its alovely building and nice to appreciate over a cup of coffee . It's located on Platia Eleftherias.
