cro2008 is a English helper, and knows the languages: English

My name is Milos Pero, and I was born in Split Croatia in 1947. After learning to speak Italian and English during my university years, I started a tourist business working with Jugotours, Centrotourist and Mercator Turist International, first as a tourist guide in Italy, Croatia, Egypt, Turkey, Austria and Hungary. I also have experience in guiding cruising groups along the Croatia's Adriatic coast. In 1992 after the War in Croatia and Bosnia started, I moved with my family to Milano, Italy. I now organize small size group tours (6-8 people) in Northern and Central Italy, especially in the Milan region, Northern lakes district, Venice and Tuscany.

nini is a English helper, and knows the languages: English

Sorrento - Stayed at Domus Porto Salvo Hotel which is an abbey with several monks still living on the premises. It is a great location for day trips around the Naples/Amalfi area. Visited Pompeii, Ercolan, Positano, Amalfi, Isle of Capri. The room was comfortable and spotless. Great staff (english speaking and helpful) and free computer use 24/7. Very nice breakfast included. It is the perfect spot overlooking the Bay. I could easily have been happy there for a 2 week stay with day trips around the Campania area. I didn't have time to see every city I had hoped to unfortunately. The public transportation was easy and inexpensive. It is a good spot for the physically challenged. The hotel has been adapted although I would let them know in advance.

nini is a English helper, and knows the languages: English

Isle of Ischia...Stayed at Hotel Coralba in Casamicciola. Great location. Spotless garden room. Friendly owner named Antonio who speaks perfect English and was helpful in showing me around and giving me tips about getting around by bus. Highly recommend Ischia and Hotel Coralba for a 1 - 2 week stay. There is enough to do in the 6 different villages to keep you occupied and Casamicciola is a great location for day trips all around the island. The views are beautiful and the food was fabulous and not expensive as I had expected after visiting Capri. The hotel has the capability to accommodate physiically challenged visitors but would let the staff know in advance what your needs are. Although the island is quite hilly there is a bus stop just outside the hotel entrance to take you down to the flat area where the public transportation is located.

Hello my name is Steve Mc Evoy and I live in London.For the last three years I have visited the Aeolian Islands,off Sicily,and found it a fascinating archapelgo of seven islands,with a lovely pace of life especially in the low season(Oct to May).There are lovely beaches walks and mountain treks to be explored.Each island has a different aura and they are named Vulcano,Lipari, Salina,Panerea,Stromboli,Alicudi and Filicudi.I have visited the first five and hopefully will visit the last two in 2006.If anyone requires information on these islands please contact me. On the other hand I would like some details on the crossing of the border in Cyprus as the Karpas Peninsula on the north side appeals greatly to me.Is it easy to cross or is there a three hour interrogation before entry is permitted. Thanks for any help forthcoming. Stephen Mc Evoy.
