Scan the QR code to ASK AT People have always undertaken journeys not just to move from A to B, but to be changed by the experience. The Romans travelled to marvel at the Pyramids, pilgrims set their sights on Mecca, Santiago de Compostela or Varanasi, and Europe's 18th-century elite embarked on the Grand Tour to round out their education in the cultural capitals of France and Italy.

We stayed in this middle house, [Spiros] Jetty House, with views to the sea on one side and the harbour on the other. I now get to say I live in paradise – my home is…
