A precious gem shimmers in the sun at the foot of the Alps. It is a lake famous for its purity, situated next to the town straight from postcards. The sage blooms in the stone pots, and the geraniums are pink on the black balustrades. Annecy is colorful and cheerful, with music and bustle in summer. Some lakes are famous for their impressive size, others - for their depth or a large population of a rare species living in them. The French lake of Annecy owes its fame to something else, namely the incredible purity of the water. It is considered to be one of the cleanest water reservoirs in Europe.

Two people, one house on wheels, two heads full of crazy ideas. What can come out of such a combination? The concept of a several-month trip through European countries and work on a book about living and cooking in a motorhome. Michał and Justyna are a young couple from Warsaw, who are planning to go on a honeymoon soon. What's so special about it? Well, they want to go on a several-month journey through several European countries and travel thousands of kilometers in a renovated car with a soul - a white 27-year-old motorhome of the Volkswagen LT 28 brand.

Many European coastlines claim to be the most beautiful on the continent. One of them is Costiera Amalfitana, Amalfi Coast. It stretches across Italy in the southern part of the Sorrento peninsula. The main coastal town is the resort of the same name. According to legend, Amalfi was so named by Hercules in honor of his great love. A beautiful nymph died under mysterious circumstances and the desperate hero traveled the whole world to find a worthy burial place for his beloved. And he found them in a wide chasm in the Campania region, in the coastal rocks.

Long time ago, the Queen of Egypt, together with her Roman lover, enjoyed the beauty of the Turkish beach and the blissful sound of the water. Today, Cleopatra's Beach is considered one of the most beautiful beaches of the Turkish Riviera. In high season it is crowded with crowds of tourists from all over the world. Turkish beaches have long been very popular among Europeans who are hungry for sun. One of the most magnificent ones surround the famous resort of the Turkish Riviera, Alanya, tempting tourists with golden sand and the sound of the waves.

The city of Italian composer, writer and actor Totò smells of delicious napoletana pizza and equally delicious Neapolitan spaghetti. It is situated at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, attracting tourists with the Miracle of Saint John, dozens of museums and galleries, and numerous sacred monuments. Naples is the cultural and economic center of southern Italy. Crowds of tourists besiege them practically all year round, with greater or lesser intensity depending on the season, but there are never voids in the streets. The city is not only an important seaport of the country, but also one of the main pilgrimage destinations. The faithful come here in months with events that science still does not understand. In May, September and December, the most important relic of the city, the blood of St. Januarius , changes color and physical state. The patron saint of Naples was executed in AD 305, and during the execution, one of the pious women collected his blood into a vial.

In tourists' dreams, Nessie swims calmly in the middle of the lake, crossing the surface of the water with her long neck. Its stately silhouette is clearly outlined against the rocks, and the silence is broken only by a gentle splash. It can be safely assumed that the slogan "Loch Ness lake" evokes clear associations with the mysterious monster floating in it. If someone plans to go to these areas, he will quickly find out that there are many more to see here than the likenesses of the aforementioned Nessie, which can be found at every step - from souvenirs in the form of plush mascots, to figurines, mugs and key rings.

Chaos in the streets, roaring car horns, a shabby pyramid and the smell of roasted chestnuts. In the capital of Albania, Tirana, we will travel through a communist past with a sweet and sour taste of god. Tirana smells like apple and cherry blossoms or citrus - it all depends on the season in which we visit it. It is best to go there in spring or autumn, because then the water is warm enough to be able to swim in the sea. The average summer temperature is 25-30ºC. Apart from the mountain peaks, it is practically never cold here.

"To see Naples and die" - who does not know the words of Goethe? The eighteenth-century German scholar was so enchanted by the Italian city that he sighed more than he spoke. And we can paraphrase them to describe the beauty of another place, the archipelago of paradise islets in the Pacific Ocean. Tuvalu is a country in western Polynesia. Although in Tuvalu its name means "eight islands", it actually consists of nine, and in Polish it is called Lagoon Islands. It is so exotic and remote that most people have never heard of it. Even less knows where it is. Many of them may never learn about it - the more so as, according to UN research, there is a high risk that it will disappear under the waters of the Pacific by 2050.

Visit Tuvalu before it disappears

Monuments can be not only sacred buildings or huge palaces that remember the times of lavish parties. A hospital can also be a monument on a global scale, and such an attraction is waiting for tourists in Kuks. There are many tiny, even microscopic places in the world famous for their enormous (literally and figuratively) attractions. You don't have to look far for an example - in Poland one such place is Święta Lipka, to which pilgrimages were made already in the 15th century. The village, situated in the beautiful surroundings of forests, houses agritourism farms, guest houses and hotels, but alone it has only a few hundred inhabitants.

Gas, coal or maybe electric? What grill to buy, how much to spend on it and what to expect? Making the right decision is not so easy - the purchase should be carefully thought out. What to consider when buying a grill? The price, type of fuel, speed of grilling or maybe the aroma and taste of the dishes obtained on it? Contrary to appearances, these are not such easy questions as experienced grilling enthusiasts may think. Which grill we choose depends on several factors. If the price is one of the most important for us, the question is whether we plan to grill often or occasionally. At first glance, charcoal grills are cheaper than gas grills , but after reasonable bills it may turn out otherwise. The first option (frequent and intensive grilling) with a charcoal grill will quickly cease to be so profitable, because coal is a more expensive fuel than gas and we will use more of it, and therefore we will spend more. In this case, it will be more advantageous to buy a gas grill, which will prove to be more economical in the long run. If, on the other hand, we intend to grill "on holiday", the coal version will suffice.

Gas or coal grill - which one to choose?

The charming resort of Albenga, nicknamed the city of a hundred towers, is located in the Italian region of Liguria. Once a Roman port, today it is a seaside beach popular with families with children. It tempts with an ancient old town and delicious cuisine. Albenga is a small town in the northern Italian province of Savona. As a famous bathing resort of the Italian Riviera, it enjoys considerable interest among tourists from various countries, not only from Europe. In antiquity, it was a Roman port - unfortunately, few traces of its former glory have survived to this day.

Do you know this annoying feeling that you are just going on a dream vacation and you have forgotten something very important? Preparing a holiday essentials in the form of a clear list will certainly help in avoiding nervousness. There is probably no person who, before going on vacation, would not think a few (teenagers) times about what she needs, what will be useful, and what will only take up space in a suitcase unnecessarily. And if it is, we can admire her composure. The average vacationer repackages his luggage several times and realizes at least once that he has stuffed something to the bottom of the backpack that he needs very much before setting off on a trip. It is quite possible that, gritting his teeth in anger, he will unpack his backpack to see that he has hidden the necessary thing elsewhere. As a result, instead of enjoying the trip, he will lose a lot of nerves.
