Travel – An alternative guide to Kavos!

Guide to Kavos

When you hear the resort name Kavos, do you cringe a little on the inside and think of liquored up stags, rowdy teenagers and club fiends staggering home at 5am?

I bet you didn’t know there was a more laid back, cultural side to Kavos and it’s neighbouring capital city Corfu?

I have teamed up with www.Holidaygems.co.uk to bring you an alternative guide to Kavos!

River Bar – Fatfield, Washington

River Bar – Fatfield, Washington

Sitting gazing out of the windows of the River Bar, sipping a cocktail from a jam jar and tucking in to barbecued meat, you’d be excused for thinking you were sitting  in backwater USA. On the banks of the River Wear in Fatfield, the hottest place to be in Washington is bringing a laid back American smokehouse vibe to the North East.

Part of the Cairn Group colossus, the River Bar shares an impressive line up alongside Sohe, 97 & Social and Fiume, the Italian eatery that sits neatly above the Washington bar.

The biggest brunch on the scene is at the recently re-launched Chez Mal Brasserie at the Malmaison Hotel.

Once only a mainstay with residents, the brunch brings in a whole new clientele looking to fill their plates with foodie perfection without emptying their wallets.

Social dining has really taken off in Newcastle of late and brunch is fast moving up the popularity ranks of places to go and be seen – only here is it acceptable to have a cocktail with your scrambled eggs!

Imlil – Atlas Mountains, Morocco

Imlil – Atlas Mountains, Morocco

Imlil is a small village, high up in the Atlas Mountains in Morocco. Sitting 5,710ft above sea level, the village was created due to the demand of tourists flooding the area to visit Toubkal – the highest mountain in North Africa. Of course with an increase in tourists, local residents set up shop here – restaurants, cafes, hotels and shops all soon followed.
