10 Best Luxury Hotels in Crete
The largest island in Greece, and the fifth-largest in the Mediterranean Sea, Crete is renowned for its wild beauty, delicious food and thousands of years of culture and history. On a visit, admire the remnants of ancient civilisations, explore the glorious beaches, and hike the fertile valleys and mountains. Of course diving to the depths of the clear blue waters, is an absolute must too. Popular Elounda is made up of three picturesque villages – Ano and Kato Elounda which sit above the port, and Skisma at the head of the bay with views of the beautiful Venetian castle on the island of Kalydon, and towards Spinalonga. Once a fortress island that protected the port of Olous from marauding pirates, in the 20th century it was used to exile patients suffering from leprosy. Nowadays, the island is home to high-end hotels and resorts only accessed by boat. The local capital is Aghios Nikolaos or St. Nicholas. At its heart is Lake Vouliagmeni – a sunken lake where Greek mythology says the goddesses Athena and Artemis washed their hair. Explorations into it have revealed a winding system of endless underwater caves which add to the mystique. Stroll through the many shops in the city and sit down for a meal in one of the busy cafes and eateries. Wherever it may be, Crete is an island that paints a thousand images, with an open-hearted spirit and hospitable people. Unsurprisingly, this charming, pure and generous island captures the spirit of Greece and enchants all who visit. The Businessclass guide to the best luxury hotels in Crete:

The Best Luxury Hotels in Shanghai
Shanghai - located on China’s central coast - is unlike anywhere else in the People's Republic. One of the most populated cities in China and the country’s financial hub, Shanghai had humble beginnings as a fishing village, rising in significance during the 19th century as its role on the Yangtze River increased. Labelled the ‘Paris of the Orient’ in the 1930s, the city became a global trendsetter for Art Decor, high fashion and opera. Known for fusing Western with Eastern culture, it has its distinct cuisine, lifestyle and dialect. Shanghai’s heart is the Bund, a mile-long waterfront promenade along the Huangpu River and one of the most iconic spots in the city. A living museum from the 1800s with various styles of architecture including Gothic, baroque, and neoclassical. The best way to appreciate the Bund is to walk it. Across the river is Pudong, symbolic of Shanghai's rapid development and home to some of the world's tallest buildings including Shanghai Tower and the famed Oriental Pearl Television Tower with its distinctive pink spheres.

Bangkok Travel Guide
The Golden Buddha is one of the most extraordinary statues in the world. It sits serenely in a Temple in Bangkok – the capital of Thailand. That the statue is made entirely of gold is remarkable, but even more so is the amazing story of how it remained hidden in open view for over 200 years. Our contributing writer Dawn Jorgensen takes up the tale: Seated, cross-legged in Bangkok’s Temple of the Golden Buddha, is a unique and magnificent statue of Siddhārtha himself - known as Phra Phuttha Maha Suwana Patimakon. While many such representations of Buddha are gilded or embossed, this one is crafted entirely of solid gold and stands three metres tall and three metres wide. The entire statue is a blend of 18 and 24 carat gold. It is the world’s largest solid gold statue and weighs a staggering five and a half tons.
