    Sifnos in Greece was a very pleasant discovery. It's rather compact size, beautiful architecture, amazing cuisine, sparkling beaches, warm locals, and it's authentic island vibe will steal your heart, like it did mine.

    Top 11 places to visit in Stockholm

    April 17, 2020 / Comments Off on Top 11 places to visit in Stockholm

    I have always yearned to visit the famous capital of Sweden for many many years. The closest I ever came to visit Stockholm, was when I lived for 4 months in neighbouring Finland as an Erasmus student. Even though I had the chance to explore a big part of Finland and other surrounding countries, I still didn’t manage to visit Sweden. I guess it wasn’t the right time yet. As I usually say, there is a right time for everything and as it turns out, some months ago opportunity knocked. Spreading on fourteen different islands, Stockholmers have nicknamed their city ‘Beauty on water’ and foreigners “Venice of the north”. It’s…

    3 days in Belgrade

    March 20, 2020 / Comments Off on 3 days in Belgrade

    Belgrade, the bustling capital of Serbia, is quickly becoming one of the most popular city-break destinations in the Balkans, so as soon as I got the chance, I flew there to experience it all firsthand. I spent 3 full days exploring the city and all it has to offer, I discovered its intriguing past and enjoyed its energetic atmosphere. Known to locals as Beograd, Belgrade is the capital and largest city of the Republic of Serbia, located at an idyllic location at the confluence of the Danube and Sava rivers. The old town, called “Stari Grad”, is predominated by Kalemegdan, a large ancient fortress which is the city’s symbol and…

    Three Unique Christmas Markets

    January 3, 2020 / Comments Off on Three Unique Christmas Markets

    Illuminated streets and centuries-old squares, gigantic Christmas trees, swirling carousels, the tantalising aroma of mulled wine and gingerbread, the smell of wood from delicate handicrafts, the sound of carols…these are just some of the things that make any visit to a European Christmas Market a truly unforgettable experience. Even though practically almost every city in Europe organises its own Christmas market, not every market can get you instantly into the festive spirit. During this holiday season, I decided to visit three different Christmas markets which are well worth a visit. Frankfurt The Frankfurt Christmas Market is one of the oldest and largest Christmas markets in Germany, both in terms of the…
