Advantages: Really tasty, well-presented grub Disadvantages: Can easily spend more than you planned
Although Taverna Basca Irati has a formal sit-down restaurant, I can?t comment on the menu. Instead we stood at the bar and did what the local do ? we chose from the mouth watering selection of pintxos. What are pintxos? Quite simply they are the northern Spanish equivalent of tapas, small dishes of tasty morsels to accompany drinks. They are really a Basque thing from that area in the Spanish Pyrenees but they are widely eaten in Catalonia too. They differ from tapas in that each one is presented a top a piece of (sometimes toasted) bread and a toothpick (in Catalan a "pintxo", pronounced "pincho") is stuck in to hold the topping on the bread. What toppings are there? Everything from tortilla to eel but an emphasis on pork and fish.
I was a bit doubtful about Taverna Basca Irati at first because it all looked a bit new and I thought ...
Advantages: Beach Side Dining on Fresh Well Cooked Dishes. Disadvantages: Had to come home.
We have just returned from two very hot weeks in Thassos, we decided to go in June rather than May as Thassos is the most northernly of the Greek islands.
When we are away we usually try and go to a different Taverna for about the first 8 nights and then revisit our favourites for the remaining nights.
The first night we went to TWINS taverna in the town, which I will review later. Most of our following nights were spent at the SYRTAKI which alone speaks for itself.

After passing around the Old Port you turn the corner to the Beach. Here you will find a run of about 8 ...
Advantages: Queue jumping, don't have to worry about entrance fees Disadvantages: Can not be cost effective
The Roma Pass was something a work colleague mentioned to me, although she did not know the name just there was some card thing that gets you benefits.
So I looked up things to do in Rome and eventually came across the website for the Roma Pass through a link from another website. The Roma Pass website is: http://www.romapass.it/?l=en
The website gave me a great insight as to what the card was, there are 2 types of cards, so it explains what both offer and how much they cost.
The standard (red) Roma Pass costs 23 Euros, and the Roma & Piu (blue) Pass costs 25 Euro's.
The website goes on to have tabs for museums, events, a virtual tour, information, download and buy. I opted not to buy ours online, and decided I would get them when there.
The website sells the cards with this strap line "The Cards that offers you ...
