Amsterdam, the city of..     See more

Another thing that I loved about Amsterdam is how local people choose to spend their afternoons. In their office outfit, they are “embarking” with colleagues and friends to chat, to drink a beer, to do a barbecue or even to dance – what a vibe!

A quieter alternative to nearby Sunny Beach - see more

Sveti Vlas is an interesting area, two km north from Sunny Beach, where we had our dose of sun without having to cross several lines of umbrellas until getting into the water. I guess the tiny beaches in Sveti Vlas are comparable with the front row boxes during a play.

When I am in Rome, shall I do as the Romans do? - see more

…Definitely yes!! I think this is an unwritten “rule” that should be taken into consideration in every place that one visits (and not only concerning the inherited customs). I will be more specified: Where do you have breakfast in your home town? What do you do in the afternoon? Where do you choose to relax during lunch break? And in the evening, which is your option to enjoy night-life? If you have to choose between several touristic attractions, what would you choose for a delightful weekend? Yes, those are good to ask questions, by everyone looking for an authentic experience that is.

Sunset on Bosporus - see more

You cannot spend a city break in Istanbul without taking your sea dose. It is a must for you to have a cruise on the Bosporus Strait. There are several companies that are selling cruises with or without any meal. I highly recommend you to choose a cruise that starts before sunset, in that way you will be able to admire both the diurnal and nocturnal Istanbul. You will be fascinated by the red light reflected into the sea and Istanbul’s outline will engraft in your mind just like a living postcard.

Being a km away from the main land, surrounded by history and beauty, one cannot do anything but enjoy every single moment spent there.

The ancient pearl of the Black Sea coast - See more

Nessebar is one of the oldest settlements in Europe, being part of the world cultural heritage. This ancient piece of land lies on a little peninsula into the Black Sea – about a half km in size. Here you can get in touch with a variety of layers from all sources of civilizations. 

Mysterious underground scene - see more

Basilica Cistern is an underground attraction of the old Constantinopol, a marble columns gallery partially immersed in water. The tanks were built in order to supply water for the palace and for the surrounding buildings. The diffused light and the blinking water create an interesting atmosphere, making you feel as if you entered into a secret world.

Minarets of the Blue Mosque - see more

No matter your religion, you cannot leave Istanbul without visiting the main Mosques. Sultan Ahmed Mosque is known also as The Blue Mosque, because of the 20.000 blue handmade tiles adorning the walls of its interior. Sultan Ahmed Mosque has one main dome, eight secondary domes and six minarets. The design is the result of two centuries of Ottoman mosque development. Besides being a touristic attraction, it’s also an active mosque, being closed for the worshippers during the five daily prayers. The pious atmosphere cannot be described in words, but felt inside the worship place. 

Vintage train tickets to Vaser Valley - see more

In order to quickly escape the crowd, we found ourselves caught in the spell of magic.

Paris for connoisseurs or how to visit Paris for the second time - see more

It is obvious that if you visit Paris for the first time you want to check the main touristic attractions. I’m telling you from the beginning that this is not about main stream sights, but if you want to feel Paris like o local one, you are in the right place.

One of the most picturesque sunsets over the sea - Agios Giorgios Beach - Corfu.
