We choose them, because it was close to the airport, had good reviews, had a good size with trees, so you can walk around and overall looked really good. One thing to note, is that they cleaned the room twice a day, and refilled the water bottles (1.5l), which showed the extra care for the $$$ you are paying. Local Island: We stayed at Athiri Veli, where we paid 130eur/night (we paid 650eur/5 nights just in comparison with the resort costs) Villa Nautica Resort View https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ed7ec95ecdf560dfce42d2/9710ab6d-fd46-446f-ba85-c17864398470/thoddoo-food.jpg Blog - Maldives: resort vs local island - Resort: Full board included, with drinks at breakfast only, and unlimited water, both at lunch/dinner and in the room. They also had some a-la-carte restaurants, where prices would range from 25-60$/1 meal, and 1 glass of wine or 1 cocktail I believe was around 10-20$. Thoddoo: ranges from 10-15$/pers for 1 meal+1 drink. https://www.hash-travel-stories.com/blog/canary-islands-lanzarote monthly 0.5 2024-05-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ed7ec95ecdf560dfce42d2/619581aa-d544-4bb9-a063-d9754197f0ce/mirador+del+rio-2.jpg Blog - Canary Islands: Lanzarote - This is in one of the most northern parts of the island, and has an amazing view from the top of the hill over the ocean, at around 500m above ocean level, and also over La Graciosa island. The view is simply breath taking. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ed7ec95ecdf560dfce42d2/6e877d2d-2715-4e28-9ebd-15b98b0ab0d0/jameos+del+agua.jpg Blog - Canary Islands: Lanzarote - One of the top destinations to see in Lanzarote, the location is quite small, but still worthy of the visit. Its main attraction is a lagoon inside a volcano tunnel, which was formed after the eruption of La Corona volcano. The lake is inhabited by many white crabs, which can be easily seen; and also has a small hole in the ceiling, which if lucky enough, you can catch the sun rays falling over the lake forming a beautiful color as seen in above photo. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ed7ec95ecdf560dfce42d2/2c3d31b2-f76e-4f4a-bcd6-877e384b3d72/cueva+de+los+verdes.jpeg Blog - Canary Islands: Lanzarote - Cueva de los Verdes are caves through volcanic tunnels formed by lava from volcanic eruptions. There is a visit with a guide where you go through the tunnels and the guide explains more about how they were formed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ed7ec95ecdf560dfce42d2/fc67c174-cb86-476a-a974-fb85589ed415/charco_verde_bun.jpg Blog - Canary Islands: Lanzarote - I have quite enjoyed the view you have after doing just a short hike (like 5min) to see the green lagoon separated by a black sand beach from the ocean, and I found the view quite photogenic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ed7ec95ecdf560dfce42d2/60d68bb5-403a-456d-afa2-75791e8e8522/grapevine.jpg Blog - Canary Islands: Lanzarote - To see the vineyards: although the tours visit La Geria, if you rent a car, I recommend to stop at Bodega Stratvs, where you have a better view, you can easily walk through the grapevines, and also the place where they are planted have a more deep shape. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ed7ec95ecdf560dfce42d2/aa38bb50-3a94-42cf-bd91-814f7e1ccdd9/salinas.jpg Blog - Canary Islands: Lanzarote - Salinas de Janubio Salinas de Janubio https://www.hash-travel-stories.com/blog/category/islands monthly 0.5 https://www.hash-travel-stories.com/blog/category/Beach+destinations monthly 0.5 https://www.hash-travel-stories.com/blog/tag/canary+islands monthly 0.5 https://www.hash-travel-stories.com/blog/tag/top+things+to+see+in+lanzarote monthly 0.5 https://www.hash-travel-stories.com/blog/tag/travel+tips monthly 0.5 https://www.hash-travel-stories.com/blog/tag/travel+blog monthly 0.5 https://www.hash-travel-stories.com/blog/tag/travel+itinerary monthly 0.5 https://www.hash-travel-stories.com/blog/tag/european+islands monthly 0.5 https://www.hash-travel-stories.com/blog/tag/resort+vs+local+island monthly 0.5 https://www.hash-travel-stories.com/blog/tag/maldives monthly 0.5 https://www.hash-travel-stories.com/blog/tag/top+things+to+do+in+lanzarote monthly 0.5 https://www.hash-travel-stories.com/about daily 0.75 2024-05-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ed7ec95ecdf560dfce42d2/6f2875a7-569d-4b79-9e9c-39fb187d833f/map.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ed7ec95ecdf560dfce42d2/ad7e022a-71a5-49d3-a584-53230e767d3e/Watching-the-sunset.jpeg
