    A place to be - B-C Accel

    Kostis Aloizos 

    One of the most interesting places to visit is Santa Claus village. This place is in North Finland and it stands out because you can see Santa Claus himself, it snows and it's freezing cold!

    Tourists can see and visit some very impressive cathedrals, modern cafes and shops and different small houses that aren't real but they are very cozy and beautiful. But the place worth visiting is Santa Claus house. There is a fire place, a beautifully decorated Christmas tree with presents under it and wooden doors and windows.
    In this place you can do a lot of things. You can visit stores and buy some souvenirs or you can go skiing.

    When you go to Santa Claus house you can make cards to send to your friends. However the most unforgettable experience was the husky sledge ride. These dogs are unbelievably strong!

    I think that Lapland is very attractive, with wonderful sights a definite must for everyone who likes Arctic adventures!

    One of the most fascinating cities in the world is Paris. Paris is the capital of France and it is located in the central north part of the country.


    The most attractive sight in Paris is the Eiffel tower whose height is 325m (300 without the antenna) and it is made of metal. A visit to The Louvre, which is the biggest museum in the world, is a must! If you are travelling with children, you can visit Eurodisney which  is a very entertaining place for kids. Climbing the Eiffel tower is a unique experience. Tourists can go up with the elevator or walk up using the stairs. There is a restaurant at the top level where you can eat and enjoy the impressive view of the city below. A mini cruise along the River Seine is also one of the best things to do while in Paris
    Visiting Paris is an unforgettable experience. People who there always return to the city of light.

    Genoa is a wonderful coastal town. Christopher Columbus was born there and it is the sixth biggest town in Italy. Other important ports are  Bari in the south and Ancona in the north east..

    Panoramic View of Piazza De Ferrari
    In Genoa you can visit a lot of sights. There is San Lorenzo cathedral which was built in the 12th century, there is an art gallery in the road Galleria Nazionale di Palazzo Spinola, the Palazzo Ducale that was built in the 16th century and the Palazzo Reale built in the 17th century. There is a beautiful theatre in the palace that is called Falcone and there are five villages called Cinque Terre in the Liguria region of Italy.

    Genoa can be explored by car or on foot, depending on the weather. There is a wide variety of restaurants - trattorias - where you can enjoy different kinds of fish, and have the chance to taste the amazing genuine pesto a la Genovese. Of course pizzas are on the menu and endless pasta recipes.

    Anyone who visits Genoa is amazed by the unique beauty of the city and the surrounding area. It is a place to visit again and again.

    Hawaii is in the Pacific Ocean and it is one of the most beautiful islands in the world. This island became especially popular last year because of its volcano eruption.
    Another attractive place where tourists can go is the forest which are full of colourful flowers and rare birds and animals. Hawaii is also very famous for the beaches! Surfing on the huge waves is really impressive. Of course anyone who tries it has to be very careful and try hard to stay on the surf board.
    Visitors can also relax under the hot sun while enjoying some cool mango juice.
    Overall a visit to Hawaii is a lot of fun. It is no wonder that it is such a popular tourist attraction. Hawaii is well worth visiting.

    Barcelona is in east Spain. It is one of the most interesting European cities. It is also an important commercial port.
    One of the most interesting sights is the Picaso Museum, which was actually the place he lived. Other places to visit are the temple of Sagrada Familia, the Gaudi Museum and ParkGuell which is the biggest park in Spain.

    The most famous place is the Barcelona stadium an impressively huge football stadium, which is the home of one of the best European football teams Barcelona F.C.

    Rome is the capital of Italy and it is really impressive. It is an attractive city with many sights and hotels. It is also the best city to go during the Christmas holidays or summer vacations. Rome is full of places worth visiting.

    One of these awesome sights is the Pantheon where the Ancient Romans used to worship the twelve Gods of Olympus. It is very attractive. You must also go to the Colosseum. It is where the gladiators used to fight with wild animals, tigers and lions, or other fighters. Some old castles are still there and they are really worth a visit. There is also a great shopping Mall.

    But Rome isn’t only full of sights and castles. Visitors can go on bike rides in the streets of Rome and have a nice time with their friends or family. They can also go to the cozy pizzerias and gelaterias. Something else they can do it to spend Christmas there. Rome has a lovely weather and all the city is lighted up!
    In my opinion, Rome is the best city I have ever visited. You will have an unforgettable time there.

    Egypt is one of the most impressive countries in North Aftica. It is one of the most ancient and historical countries in the world.

    One of the most interesting sights in Egypt is the Sphinx. Another place worth visiting is the Sahara Desert which is the biggest desert in the world. Tourists can also go on a boat ride on the River Nile, a great tourist attraction.

    Tourists must also go on a tour of the Pyramids and explore one of them. But be careful not to get trapped. The Pyramids are full of mysteries. The Pyramids of Giza are incredibly big. They are the biggest pyramids in the world.


    Cairo is the capital of Egypt. Tourists can visit its many museums or go shopping. Also trying the famous arab recipes is an excellent idea.

    A-B accelerated asks: Do you have a healthy diet?

    My food routine by Aggelos Tzamaras

    I often have cereals and milk for breakfast. I need a lot of energy so I can go to
    school. Around ten o'clock I have a snack. At lunch time, I often eat fish or meat and sometimes I eat lentils. I rarely eat pizza or pasta. I frequently eat french fries.

    At dinner I usually eat biscuits with some milk. I often eat only biscuits. It's not very healthy so sometimes I drink orange juice. At weekends the food is delicious. I often eat lamb with baked potatoes or lamb with lemon.

    I think I should eat more vegetables and fruit, more eggs and more salad. I should eat less sweets and less sugar because they are not healhty.

    My food routine by Spyros Christodoulatos
    I sometimes have milk and biscuits for breakfast because I need the energy they give me. Around 10 o'clock I have a snack during the first break. I sometimes eat from the school canteen.

    At lunch I have different food with salad. If I have eaten something from the school canteen I eat only some salad.

    In the evening I finish my homework and I go out with my friends. When I come back I make some pop corn watch a film and then sleep.

    I must eat more fruits and vegetables but I must eat less oil.

    My food routine by Argyro Petrakou
    Is your diet healthy? Do you eat food that is good for you? My diet is healthy. I drew my food pyramid and I found out that I have good eating habits.


    I always have cereals with milk for breakfast because I need a lot of energy so I can go to school. Around 10 o'clock I have a snack.


    At lunch time, I sometimes have rice with chicken or fish or beef with french fries. I often have meatballs or brocoli or spaghetti. I always have salad, too. At weekends, my mother cooks something special like a pizza or pasta. Later, I eat a snack like a chocolate or a croissant. I sometimes eat a sandwich.


    Finally, on weekdays I drink I drink milk before I go to bed. At weekends, I order food with my family. In the evening, I call a friend and we play before dinner.


    I think that I should eat more vegetables and less bread. Vegetables make me strong but bread makes me fat. What about you? 


    My food routine by Bill Davalas
    At lunch time, I often have spaghetti with tomato salad. My mum cooks very well. At the weekends, I frequently eat pizza or we eat out at a restaurant with my friends. 

    Finally at weekdays, I have yoghurt with honey or hot milk for dinner. At weekends, we often eat with my family at my aunt's or my grandmother's. The food is always delicious. 

     I think I should eat more fruit and vegetables but I think I should eat less sweets and snacks.
