The so-called Powder Tower, the last remnant of the 13th-century wall that once surrounded the heart of Riga, now hosts a war museum. The aim of the museum is to reveal to the public the complicated military history of Latvia, with a special emphasis on the 20th century, during which the Latvian people had to win their independence twice.

This beach is the trademark of Zakynthos. Located in the northwestern part of the island, it is said that Navagio beach is not only the most famous beach in Greece but one of the most impressive of the Mediterranean. People used to call it Agios Georgios but, due to a shipwreck happened in 1983, the beach is now called Navagio, which is the Greek translation of the word "shipwreck". There are two ways to approach this breathtaking miracle of nature: you can either travel by boat and swim in its turquoise waters, or by car, and admire the beach from the special viewing platform.

This resort lies around 6 km north of Zakynthos Town, and has grown from being a small fishing village, less than 20 years ago, to a full-scale holiday resort. The beach is long and sandy, with stunning views east to the mainland and plenty of mid-range and budget accommodation in the surrounding area. Tsilivi has also a good array of places to eat and drink and a vibrant club and bar scene.
