QUEEN OF PIRATES AND ANTIQUE GODDESS Stephen Hartshorne, a traveler in the tourist industry in recent years have seen a significant increase in demand for a specific kind of travel, which involved only women. Many of the fair sex believe that the best way trip - is to tour with a small group, where the next will be a companion, whose common interests. Number of rounds of "women only" in the last ten years has been measured by five-digit numbers. Increased demand for women's tours, which include not only active recreation - kayaking in the Arctic or bicycle tours in Vietnam. Popular more comfortable "trips for the girls' and travel for mothers with daughters. One innovative travel company collects small groups of women, and sends them to travel, where customers can not only rest but also to explore the features of the life of the host country.

These trips also offer a fascinating opportunity to clients to trace their roots and visit their places of ancestors. Barnett Group, before the temple of Isis on the Greek island of Delos Modern women are interested in ancient ruler Company Evrinoma Dzhorneys "of Camden, Maine, became a pioneer in the field of Tour" just for women "back in 1998 when its founder Eriya Lipponen has made a web site at which details the content and form of specific tourist services. Named in honor of the "itinerant" goddess Evrinomy, the company exactly as its name implies, was to unite women in small groups.

Particular importance was given to prominent historical figures such as Queen of Egypt Cleopatra, female pharaoh Hatshepsut or Queen of the Pirates of Ireland Grace O'Malley. Eriya Lipponen - a historian by training. She says that it makes learning such tours so memorable. "I think the seasoning on the beach or the bustling shopping at supermarkets, it is not the occupation, which would satisfy your vacation today lady," she says. "More and more women are interested in an intellectually stimulating journey, and they want to take an active part. Instead of sitting in the bus, they want to explore something new. More so that nothing interferes visit the beach after a walk on a bicycle, visiting a museum or exploring the historic sights. More and more women of all ages attend courses, some for themselves, some for a successful career, they want to learn a lot and throw themselves like a challenge.

As we know, the interests of women and men in general vary greatly. Most women, for example, are not interested in places of former battlefields and features of the military strategy of the past. It is interesting to meet other women from different countries and learn a lot about how beautiful half of humanity changes the world. An excellent way of learning scenarios travel to Greece and Egypt, which organizes the company Evrinoma, based on mythology, history and archeology.

Along with "Leyzhe Markets" Lipponen, organize and conduct individual tours in over seventeen years. In this case, the composition could be only one or a few customers. And in 1998 she organized her own company as an alternative to the standard group tours. "My goal is to provide women travelers, while allowing it not to spend large sums of money, safe and convenient travel within the small group of six to ten people. In this case, the group accompanied by an experienced staff, addressed all the legal, financial and institutional matters. Usually poezki that we organize, not a quick pass in pace to the tour participants could independently investigate all they would be interested. Our tours are not like the formulaic journey, which offer a large tour operators. Trips are held in an informal and relaxed atmosphere. "On tour with a local archaeologist Michael Gibbons team found a pin, which is more than 1000 years, Associate Professor Tina Passman of the University of Maine says that Lipponen gained unique experience in organizing tours, when in 2008 Greece and Crete, with its attended by 23 students and three professors.

Most of the students visited the U.S. for the first time. Local employees of Evrinoma Dzhorneys, Dionysius in Greece, and George, on Crete were very educated people. They worked with students, answered questions, were always friendly, all have helped and inspired all. We returned from a trip to the ecstatic and would not mind to travel on this route again.
