Food is a very important aspect while travelling. And this is why I want you to not miss this place in Cinque Terre, exactly in the first village (or last, depends from where you start) in Monterosso Al Mare. I remember we arrived in Monterosso around 12 PM or around that time and I was starving. And right on the platform there was a small place similar to a fast food. And right there was a big line waiting for food. But this is not the place which I wanna talk about. I just mentioned it in order for you to not make a confusion and eat somewhere else because I was very tempted to eat there. I'm not saying they didn't had good food because I have no idea but I wanted to eat something italian. You can eat there, if you want, but if you wanna taste the most delicious pesto, I'd recommend you to go here - Il Massimo della Focaccia . The thing with Monterosso is that you have to go down a few stairs from the platform in order to reach the sea and promenade. And Il Massimo...

Corfu is one of the many islands in Greece which has plenty to offer. If you are curious to know what are some of the must see places there just keep reading. 1. Paleokastritsa - I say this because here you will find those turquoise waters, stunning landscapes and taverna Spiros which serves delicious food. Here are several beaches with pebbles (not sand) and the whole village it's filled with restaurants and accommodation options. 2. Canal D'Amour - Probably one of the most famous places on Corfu island. You'll find Canal D'Amour in Sidari village on the northern part of the island. Even though the sand in the water was very muddy so to say, I can only imagine how it looks when it is not. I believe there was a storm the night before we went. For the ones who know to swim, this place it's perfect for cliff jumping. 3. Old Fortress in Corfu Town - Here you will be greeted with the most beautiful panorama of Corfu town. So for tho...

Even though Milan is known as the city of fashion, there are a few free things you can enjoy in this lovely city. 1. Relax in piazza in front of the Dome. This is a fairly large place and it is perfect to just take in the beauty of the cathedral. Be amazed at how intricate this cathedral is. Plus at night it is quite nice to see it slowly getting less and less crowded as the hours go by. 2. Chill at Castello Sforzesco in Sempione park. It is the perfect place to either enjoy a lovely walk in the park or simply recharge your batteries for more walking. 3. Do some window shopping at Galleria Vittorio Emanuele. Unless you can pay hundreds and thousands of euros for a bag or coat, window shopping will do the work. Here you'll find famous stores as Prada, Versace, Armani and many more. Also the architecture here is amazing. While you're here you can also spin 3 times on the bull mosaic on the floor (close to the center of the gallery) for good luck.

Venice has a few options when it comes to transportation there on the island so here are a few options to get around in the city on water.  1. Water bus - The most common way to get around in Venice is with a water bus. They will usually be the cheapest option. If you buy a Venice city pass you can choose the option to have transport included. I find this to be quite helpful since you don't have to wait in line all the time to buy a ticket. Venice is quite a busy city so you will find that pass will come in handy. They have schedules at each station and the signs are pretty straight forward. Their water buses are called vaporetto. Also if you want a trip on the Grand Canal you can choose these water buses as they're the cheapest option. Keep in mind though that they take much longer than a taxi since they stop at each station.  2. Taxi - Their taxis are these brown cool looking tiny boats. It's like your private tiny yacht. Of course they are much more ...

Rome has plenty of options to choose from when it comes to accommodation. So here is a list with a few hotels that I recommend and the area where you can stay. We stayed at hotel Parker which is a 3 star hotel close to Termini station. Room was clean with a comfortable bed and for breakfast they offered plenty of options. Other good hotels are Espana, Kent, Alexis, Camelia and Pyramid. I recommend you to stay around Termini station but keep in mind one thing about this place -  it is noisy. Although we weren't bothered at all about this aspect, take this into consideration if you are a light sleeper.  Around Termini there are plenty hotels from which you can choose and usually the prices are between 40 and 60 euros per double room for 1 night. With breakfast included most of the times which is not bad at all. Of course if you want to stay in luxurious hotels then this post is not for you.  From Termini station you can pretty much get to every known place i...

Corfu really exceeded our expectations. Corfu it's an island in Greece filled with lots of vegetation and has spectacular turquoise waters due to its pebble beaches. It is a wonderful place to photograph so here is a list with a few of the most instagrammable places.  1. Agios Spiridon Beach in Paleokastritsa -  This is close to the Monastery of Paleokastritsa and it's the largest beach in Paleokastritsa area. It is also the most busy one but during May and September you can still enjoy some quite time there. We were at the end of May and it was perfect.  2. Agia Triada Beach in Paleokastritsa - This has to be my favorite beach in the whole area. It is quite small but the view is stunning. It also gives you that feeling of intimacy cause it's so small.  3. The Old Fortress in Corfu Town - Ancient ruins with probably the best panorama of Corfu town. Keep in mind though that there is little to no shade. We went during the worst hou...

Milan left me speechless. We were in Milan in October 2017 for 3 days. What I first noticed in Milan were the suits people. Almost everyone there wears a suit. Blazer, tie, dresses, shoes. Everything is on point. I was so caught by them that I don't even think I photographed someone. Even on our way to Milan from Venice on the train I saw people in suits. You could definitely tell that they were headed to Milan. Then we have the buildings. So don't you assume that only the Duomo is like that. Every building is so well kept and with so many details, it's insane. I mean just look at them. The architecture is stunning. Then we have the mighty Duomo. This is, at this moment the prettiest building I have seen. I regret not having an actual footage of my face when I saw the Milan Duomo*. It is such a spectacular piece of art and architecture. It was made by mad men, trust me. There is not one single piece of sculpture that is the same on that church. It for s...
