Whenever we want to enjoy the wild beauty of Montenegro, we make the tour that is officially called ‘Circuit around Korita‘ or Panoramic Road No. 4. The Circuit around Korita, only 65 km long, contains a two-hour hiking trail along the old patrol path that was once used by border guards. This path leads to […]
EXPLORING THE ISLANDS OF GOZO AND COMINO
Have you ever heard of Gozo? This island is part of the Maltese archipelago, just north of Malta. It has a surface of 67 square kilometers only and is home to about 37,000 people who speak their own dialect. Lovers of Greek mythology believe the story that Gozo is the real version of the legendary […]
DISCOVERING VALLETTA – MALTA’S CAPITAL CITY
Visiting Malta is a special experience. This tiny archipelago in the Mediterranean – situated between Sicily and North Africa – offers warm and sunny weather during most of the year, a deep blue sea and many historical towns and cultural treasures. We traveled to Malta in March, expecting a relaxed stay without the crowds […]
A DAY TRIP TO CAVTAT
Spring is in the air! Time for a weekend trip! This weekend we decided to visit Cavtat, a small coastal town in Croatia between Dubrovnik (20 km) and the Montenegrin border (22 km). The town is located on the horseshoe-shaped Tija bay, defined by two long peninsulas covered in pine forests with a beautiful palm-lined […]
A HIKING TOUR TO THE FORTRESS OF SVETI ANDRIJA

DISCOVER THE FORTIFIED CHURCHES OF TRANSYLVANIA
During our road trip through Romania in September, we also visited the region of Transylvania. No, we were not only interested in the usual tourist attractions.

THE WOODEN CHURCHES OF MARAMURES
When we visited Romania a few months ago, one of our goals was to explore Maramures, a region in the northwestern part of the country, where Romanian traditions are still faithfully preserved. Yes, you can find some tourists here, but due to the geographical location and poor road network, the region remains rather isolated. Maramures […]
SVANETI TREKKING: OUR JOURNEY TO THE ANCIENT HEART OF GEORGIA
Nestled beneath the towering peaks of the Georgian Caucasus, where thousand-year-old stone towers pierce the mountain mist like ancient prayers frozen in time, lies a village slowly — and inevitably — surrendering to the modern world. Ushguli. Even its name whispers of mystery locked behind sky-splitting summits. In the Shadow of the Georgian Caucasus Our […]
