Baring All in Bali

The fantasy: Barefoot bungalows on Bali's white-sand beaches of Kuta and Sanur. Rugged coastlines backed by emerald rice terraces. The arc and curl of graceful Legong dancers in ornate stone temples and other sensuous art forms add a layer of heady exoticism to this tropical island destination.

The reality: The broad stretches of sand fronting the Indian Ocean in Kuta and the calm waters rolling into Sanur helped put Bali on the tourism map. But now these beaches are overrun with relentless hawkers and rowdy Australian package tourists pounding swift successions of fruity cocktails.

Perfect match: The far-flung exoticism of Bali still simmers on the east coast, often referred to as Old Bali, where coconut groves fringe pristine beaches and couples wander amid the crumbling grandeur of ancient water palaces. You can get active by kayaking or sailing a traditional jukung on Lombok Strait (or limit your extracurricular activities to the bedroom of your beachfront hideaway). Splurge on one of the cliffside villas at Amankila (pictured), in Karangasem, which feature inlaid marble-and-wood floors, soaring cane ceilings, and your own veranda or infinity pool overlooking the sea.

La Dolce Vita in Italy

http://www.concierge.com/images/ideas/romantictraveldoneright/palazzobelmonte_001p.jpg

The fantasy: The cinematic romance of Venice: wandering hand in hand through the old-world elegance of La Serenissima's alleyways, cuddling on a gondola ride along the canals, dining by candlelight in ancient piazzas.

The reality: Your overpriced gondola will be stuck in a traffic jam of canned romance, likely because the gondoliers are too busy texting to watch where they're rowing. That candlelit dinner of scallops and tagliolini on a piazza will probably set you back twice the price of a meal elsewhere in Italy for food that's half as good. And what's that vaguely putrid smell wafting up from the canals come summer?

Perfect match: Although the magic of Venice often manages to outweigh its hassles, couples looking for la dolce vita should cross the boot and head down south to the Cilento Coast (pictured). Its sleepy coastal towns are the perfect setting for picnic lunches under the shade of Aleppo pines and nights spent noshing on freshly caught seafood on the waterfront to the lilting music of Italian lovers conversing at tables nearby. Reserve a room at the Palazzo Belmonte in Salerno, a former 17th-century hunting lodge perched among lemon trees on a bluff by the sea.

The island: Santorini, Greece

The island: Santorini, Greece


The goods: Sure, everybody who's been claims they've gone to some other, more authentic Greek island. And Fira, the cliff-hugging main town, has a lot of tourist shops. But for absolute physical beauty, especially in the late-afternoon light when the cubical houses are a dazzling shade of white against the cliffs, few islands anywhere can compare.

Be sure to: Plant yourself for an afternoon (which will undoubtedly extend into an evening) at one of the tavernas, preferably Katina, at the water's edge, just below Oia village (pictured). By the time the grilled octopus is eaten and the last bottle of Boutari wine is rolling empty on the table, there won't be much about Greece, or the Greeks, that you feel you don't know.

Best beach: Red Beach (which is indeed) is near the ruins of Akrotiri, an ancient city. Wonderfully off the beaten path, it has surrounding cliffs that form a pleasing setting, and the clear water is perfect for snorkeling.

Perfect season: Mid-September, when the weather still requires only short sleeves and the other Europeans have gone home.

Call it home: Astra Apartments & Suites, in the town of Imerovigli. Best cliff-top hotel views in Santorini, and close enough to Fira to walk, but not so close that noise from the discos will blow you off the side of the caldera.

MARCO'S MOMENT

An important season, his best for Milan. Significant for the team and the fans. Five goals in 2009 and ten in 2010: that's how Marco Borriello's season has been so far. A positive run for Marco.



MILAN - The beautiful goal against Bari on 20 February, in a match dominated by Milan for 90 minutes against a strong opponent at home, had been his last for some weeks. Then, at the end of March, he went back to scoring and scored a series of goals again. With consistency and conviction. Marco Borriello is on a roll again: four goals in three consecutive matches. Not just the two yesterday against Catania, but also the delicate penalty against Lazio and the opening goal at Cagliari.

Since he has started playing with consistency from the start, on 31 October against Parma, the Rossoneri striker has scored 13 goals in Serie A and 1 in the Champions League. Before Parma, he had made some substitute appearences but no goals, having managed to withstand some minor injuries, still caused by the unfortunate previous season. From Parma to today Borriello has produced goals and created play with his movement and his performances. He also won penalties against Cagliari, Zurich, and Siena.

Here is his 2009/2010 season, characterised by splendid goals with overhead kicks against Parma, Genoa, Siena, and Bari:
OCTOBER: 2 goals, Milan-Parma 2-0.
NOVEMBER: 2 goals, 1 in Milan-Cagliari 4-3 and 1 in Milan-Marseille 1-1.
DECEMBER: 1 goal, Milan-Sampdoria 3-0.
JANUARY: 3 goals, 2 in Milan-Genoa 5-2 and 1 in Milan-Siena 4-0.
FEBRUARY: 2 goals, 1 in Bari-Milan 0-2 and 1 in Milan-Atalanta 3-1.
MARCH: 1 goal, Milan-Lazio 1-1.
APRIL: 3 goals, 1 in Cagliari-Milan 2-3 and 2 in Milan-Catania 2-2.
