The park is situated at a distance of 190 km east of Budapest, and consists of a vast area of plains and wetlands (75,000 ha). I have […]

3 AMAZING PLACES IN UMBRIA
Umbria, Italy’s green heart, is the only Italian region that borders neither the sea nor another country. That is the reason why many Italian traditions survive even today. Umbria is especially famous for its food and wine culture. We visited Umbria in May, escaping the tourist crowds, and we really enjoyed exploring its amazing, authentic […]
3 AMAZING VILLAGES IN CALABRIA
During our road trip to Sicily and Calabria in December last year, we have visited several amazing places at the Calabrian coast. Although tourism plays a major role in the economy of Calabria, this region is rather unknown in West European countries as a tourist destination. However, that does not apply to tourists from Northern […]
PALERMO – CITY OF CONTRASTS
Maybe Palermo is not among the top tourist destinations in Sicily, but it is certainly one of the most interesting cities. With its one million inhabitants, it is a buzzing Mediterranean center with an authentic, welcoming and mysterious atmosphere. No wonder, Palermo – called the „Kingdom of the Sun“ by invading Normans in the 12th […]
BARCELONA, CITY OF GAUDÌ
A city trip to Barcelona, one of the most attractive cities in Europe, has been on my bucket list for a long time. As there are direct Ryanair flights from Podgorica to Barcelona, even in winter, we recently booked a 5-days trip, i.e. 3 full days for sightseeing. Of course, we didn’t have enough time […]

The name of this town, located in the Val di Noto, a UNESCO […]

We enjoyed the picturesque landscapes, the vibrant capital Ljubljana and we also visited some charming old towns. Of course, I am sure that there is a […]
5 HIGHLIGHTS OF EASTERN SICILY IN DECEMBER
We found it a special experience to explore Eastern Sicily during the winter period. In particular December appeared to be a great time, as Christmas was celebrated in a traditional way all around the island, with Christmas stall exhibitions, beautiful street decorations and bonfires (‘Zuccu’). While it was cooler and even snowy inland, we had […]
CHRISTMAS IN TAORMINA, SICILY
Keeping in mind that ‘our’ Christmas passes without any particular celebrations in Montenegro, we thought it a good idea to spend our winter holidays in Sicily, in the magnificent town of Taormina. There are not many regions that still retain unchanged Christmas traditions. We enjoyed our winter holidays in Puglia last year, with Christmas stall […]
