# Methana

Methana is located in Greece, with highly interesting of archaeological monuments, Byzantine churches, lovely villages and imposing a "dormant" volcano.

## Understand

The peninsula is littered with over 30 volcanic domes and numerous sulphurous thermal springs of volcanic origin. Neither the city nor the peninsula gained significant importance in antiquity, although settlement has been documented since the Mycenaean period.
In the 19th century, Methana was a popular spa town that mainly attracted the wealthy middle class from Athens. There were a few hotels, a casino, open-air cinemas, and a small theater. Daily ship connections with Piraeus made Methana one of the pre-war "Mykonos". The spas were restored after the Second World War. The mainly older clientele who came to health cures created a negative image that Methana was only suitable for old people. The spas were also no longer modernized. To date (as of: 2021) there is no concept for the development of geotourism or sustainable forms of tourism, although there are more than 60 km of hiking trails and numerous historical, geological and natural sights on Methana.
Even if methane gas comes from the earth on the peninsula, the name of the island cannot be traced back to it. While Methana was called that in ancient times, the name of the gas is modern.

## Get in

The most common way to get here is from Athens; you can get here by car, or by bus from Athens Kifisos Bus Station, or Galatas; or by boat, from Piraeus.

## Get around

A very common way to get around Methana is by car, but there are other ways, like taxi and bus.

# Kleť

Kleť is a mountain in South Bohemia, Czech Republic.

## Understand

Kleť is the highest mountain in the Blansky Les area at 1084 m. It has a tower, cafe and restaurant and an observatory on top. It can easily be identified from afar by the large red and white TV aerial. The tower costs 20 Kč to climb and there is an excellent 360-degree view of South Bohemia from the top, including Český Krumlov and České Budějovice. In case of good weather and clear sky the peaks of Alps can be seen on the horizon. The observatory provides public tours every day in the week during the summer holidays (July and August), otherwise check the availability. There are also facilities to hire mountain scooters and you can go cross-country and drop off the scooter in various other locations.
The summit of Kleť is quite busy with people due to the chair lift on the approach from Holubov. However, if you want to hike or bike then it only takes 50 paces in any direction to escape the tourists and enjoy the fantastic forest trails.

### Climate
## Get in
## Do
### Climbing from Holubov

You will see Kleť from the train station due to the tv aerial. You need to follow the yellow markings and climb roughly 2 km up to the hill through Krasetin village to the base of the chair lift. Various sources say that this is a cable car or a funicular but it's really a chair lift! From here you can make use of the chair lift (~70 Kč, Aug 2010) or walk up under your own power. The climb is ~500 m high gain and ~2 km so it is not to be taken too lightly. You can climb up underneath the chair lift, which is quite steep and rough in places, or you can take the green trail up through the woods, which is probably going to be much nicer. There is also another place to hire mountain scooters at the bottom of the chair lift.

### Climbing from Český Krumlov

From here it is a gentle ~7-km walk largely through forest and with ~600-m high climb, which should mean ~3 hours. You can get up the mountain by car if you’re not up to the hike. Follow the green marked trail from the Český Krumlov railway station, cross over the tracks and continue up the road, following horizontal green lines painted on trees. Cycle route 1166 also heads to the top.

### Descending

Once at the summit it is easy to see where to go. There is a large set of sign posts to all the surrounding villages indicating which colour trail you need to follow and roughly how far it is. The distances are not especially accurate though. Options include taking the green trail to Český Krumlov, the red trail down to Zlata Koruna or the yellow trail down to Plesovice (a nice little village, the bar/restaurant at the station is only open Tu and F-Su though). From most places it is possible to get the bus or train back to where you have started, although the trains are less frequent.
# Klin

Town status was granted in 1781. Peter I prescribed the Klinians to serve as couchmen on the road between Moscow and Saint Petersburg. Thus the Klin's coat of arms acquired a post horseman tooting a horn.

Ravinia Music Festival - Usually just called "Ravinia" or "Ravinia Festival". A summer-long festival featuring music of all types. The summer home of the Chicago Symphony. Other orchestras (like the Ravinia Festival Orchestra) play there as well as various pop and jazz performers. You can choose to sit in the pavilion (which costs a bit more), or bring a blanket and chairs and sit on the large lawn. Chairs are also available for rental at the park. It has a few places to buy food and drinks (including wine and beer), however, prices are a bit steep and food (and alcohol) may be brought into the park. Certain classical concerts are free for college students with a college ID. If you go, definitely buy some Ravinia ice cream (not the Dove stuff). If you sit in the Pavilion you get a special program. If you sit on the lawn, you'll have to go and find one of the green newspaper dispensers—-they hold the lawn programs. Ravinia often hosts family-friendly concerts but for more sophisticated shows, you should either leave the kids at the hotel or make sure that they will be well behaved. Very easy to get to via Metra North Line; Ravinia has its own stop, which only operates on days with performances. Costs $3.90 each way on weekdays and $5.00 roundtrip on weekends from Ogilvie Transportation Center.
