Lake Malawi - The Lake of Stars - is an immense inland sea of fresh, crystal clear water in which tropical fish abound. Its shores and the deserted islands which dot its surface are home to a variety of game and an abundance of exotic birdlife.

Greece’s southern coastline is home to Gythion, a historic port town nestled in the Peloponnese region. Once the naval base of ancient Sparta, Gythion has played a key role in maritime history for centuries.

Just offshore lies Cranae Island, linked to the mainland by a stone causeway.
