World's 100 best beaches-Halicarnasse Beach, Crete, Greece

Best thing about the sand at Falassarna? There's so much of it there's little chance of playing beach-mat overlap with strangers. This slice of coast takes in five consecutive beaches, the middle ones being most popular, the ones on the ends better for solitary sun lovers.

Highlight: On the first Saturday of August, thousands descend for Crete's biggest beach party.

Strange Wonderful Things

Almost everyone who visits my garden says, "Wow, what is that?!"  They're referring to my Babaco plant!  Also called the Mountain Papaya, or Champagne Fruit, the Babaco is an unusual Papaya relative with a unique flavor.  The big, football-shaped fruits taste sort of like pineapple or kiwi, and the juicy flesh is effervescent, hence the name "champagne fruit".  It's as fun to grow as it is to eat!  The exotic, palm-like shape of the plant gives it a great tropical look.  And it makes up to 60 pounds of fruit per year!  This is a hard-to-find tree that is rarely seen for sale.

The bar snacks at Montage Beverly Hills

Nibbles go gourmet

Gouda aged for 24 months, smoked bacon rashers and pecan nuts personally curried and candied by the head barman - the free snacks at £10, the highfalutin bar at the Montage Beverly Hills hotel, go beyond your typical peanuts and pork crackling. And it doesn't stop there - crystallised ginger is provided as a palate cleanser in between the (show-stopping) drinks.
The clincher: £10's discreet policy - reservations only, no photos - attracts Hollywood big hitters. And, as the bar seats just 35, you may well find yourself sitting next to one.

 

BMW's i3 Concept

Are freunds electric?
BMW's four-seater "Megacity Vehicle" promises to be one of the most talked-about launches of 2013. The i3, powered by a lithium-ion battery, will be the first of BMW's i-range and will be the most accessible electric production car in the world.
The clincher: With a motor capable of generating 170hp, the i3 will go from 0-62mph in less than eight seconds. Not too shabby.
