highlighted Arizona’s diverse experiences, including the Verde Valley
wine-growing region, Tucson’s thriving culinary scene as the first UNESCO City
of Gastronomy, Scottsdale’s ongoing sustainability efforts and the new Ambiente
hotel in Sedona as reasons to visit, along with exploring the iconic Grand
Canyon, Route 66 and Navajo Nation. Read on for the latest in Arizona’s
accommodation and attractions…

party. Konos Island offers guests a Mediterranean restaurant, private cabanas
