Villa Arhanes A new Proposition for a Different Type of Holiday Away from the humdrum picture of tourism (sun sea) every place has another world which lasts more than just the few months of the tourist season whose roots are well embedded in tradition. Tradition is still alive but well hidden, like a precious jewel, from the eyes of the ephemeral visitor. Andreas Metaxas, General Manager of the Maris Hotels, with his love and respect for Cretan tradition had a dream and dared to experiment. Thus, Villa Arhanes is a proposition for a different type of holiday, which combines tradition and a return to nature, rural tourism and frugal luxury, entertainment and communication with the locals and time for contemplation.

Extractions: Apostol Apostolov From 15 to 31 March 2000, Sofia was host to a vast musical scene that set youth life in the Bulgarian capital virtually on fire. With guest bands and DJs from Macedonia, Poland, Great Britain, France, Columbia and Venezuela, the festival was one of the rare events in Bulgaria which brought together "popular" music performers from different genres. Music lovers thronged to a number of Sofia night clubs and the Palace of Culture. For ten days, the club scene in Sofia saw a bricolage of the most famous Bulgarian "yellow bands" such as Weekeda, Animacionerite, Blueba Loo and other well-established bands including Signal, Akaga and BTR. There were also guest bands and performers from abroad such as Infinity Bobby's Band (Poland), Transglobal Underground (UK), DJ Nelson Dilation (UK), VJ Sheikh AD Helik (UK) and Galaspace (UK). A joint performance by Java French House Diego Drum 'n' Voice was also held in All Saints Club, where musicians from Bulgaria, France, Columbia and Venezuela came up with a well-prepared trans-national musical programme which definitely fascinated the clubbers with original generic combinations and stylistic creativity.
