Best restaurants in Jamaica
When vacationing in Jamaica, it’s a must to try the Jamaican cuisine. And thankfully there are plenty of good restaurants on the island which serve great Jamaican dishes. The jerk chicken or ackee and saltfish are at their best and you can even find restaurants which serve lighter versions (and all made with organic produce).

Best Restaurants in Bahamas
Eating is an important part of our lives, whether we want to admit it or not. And when we are on a lovely vacation, we expect to eat at the best places in town. Although the majority of travelers are tempted to eat at the restaurant within their resort (or very close by), we recommend to start exploring and look for the most interesting places to eat.
Let’s take a look at what Bahamas has to offer in terms of restaurants.
Lucaya: Zorba’s Greek Restaurant
Greek food so far away from Greece? Of course. But Zorba’s also offer Bahamian cuisine. The breakfast is always Bahamian, with everything from grits, corn beef, chicken sauce and eggs. It’s one of the places where the locals like to eat breakfast but you’ll also find tourists and the port’s yach-in clientele. Lunch, however, is purely Greek: gyros, souvlaki and kabobs are in the menu waiting for you. Dinner is also Greek: salads, moussaka and baklava can make a perfect combination.

Barbados Crop Over
Crop Over is the biggest, baddest festival held in the beautiful Caribbean island nation of Barbados each year and one heck of a party. If you’re looking for a great spot to visit in the islands at the end of July or the beginning of August, this would be a great choice.
What does it all mean? Crop Over originated way back in the 1780’s, when the main export from Barbados was sugar rather than sunburned tourists. The festival began as a celebration of the end of the sugar …
