Stretching between the beaches of the Costa del Sol and Costa de la Luz and the mountain peaks of the Sierra Nevada, Spanish Andalusia is one of the most fascinating regions in the world. It was desirable for centuries - by Phoenicians and Ottomans - today, thanks to their presence, its cities and towns are full of traces of the heritage of these ancient cultures.

Slovenia is one of the least known and still relatively rarely visited Alpine countries. It is small, even intimate, and from its capital - Ljubljana - you can get to the other end of the country in just a few hours. Holidays in Slovenia are, above all, an encounter with unbridled mountain nature and ancient history, firmly rooted to this day in the local tradition. The first thing that catches your eye after landing or arriving in Ljubljana is the surprising contrast between history and modernity at almost every step. The streets of the old town that run in all directions are lined with modern buildings - no wonder, despite the rich history dating back several thousand years, Slovenia is today a rapidly developing European country. So, if we are planning to spend our next vacation in Slovenia, it is worth visiting places that will allow us to touch both the fascinating culture of this country and come face to face with wild nature.

Holidays under the Three-Headed Dragon

The hot Italian summer encourages you to spend a carefree holiday in the homeland of Dante, Leonardo da Vinci and... the best cuisine in the world. However, like many other friends, I started this year's holiday plans in sunny Italy by asking myself a serious question: do I really want to suffocate in queues to the Colosseum again, watch tourists posing in always the same pose under the tower of Pisa or, what's even worse, stuck in Naples traffic jams? The answer was: in life! That's why, at the beginning of July, I set out for Sardinia, surrounded by turquoise waters, one of the most fascinating islands in Southern Italy . Here, surrounded by sandy beaches "littered" with huge granite rocks, I was to spend a dream and long-deserved holiday - in the quiet and mesmerizing landscape of the province of Gallura in the north of Sardinia.

Sardinia - escape towards relaxation

Many tourists associate holidays in France with Paris, the Eiffel Tower and relaxation on the world-famous Côte d'Azur. Most places in this country have become so popular among mass tourists that people looking for opportunities to learn about French culture and history have difficulty finding places that are still "untrodden". One such place is the Midi-Pyrenees region. Although it is one of the largest in the country, it cannot boast of magnificent palaces - but it will certainly delight you with medieval Qatari castles. It is also a region for those who like to get to know new places from the inside - literally and figuratively. Where should we start our holiday in the Midi-Pyrenees so that we can spend our time there as interestingly as possible? Certainly in Toulouse - a city that once inspired artists and today... aviation engineers!.

The slogan "holidays in Croatia" has been lighting up the faces of tourists chasing sun and good fun for over a decade. And it's hardly surprising - the Balkan culture, known for its eternal readiness for fun, toasts and singing - meshes perfectly with ours. Therefore, just like our parents in the early '90s, we always land on the Adriatic Sea in the middle of summer and during the hottest days to release the energy accumulated all year long behind the desk. Since over the years we have probably visited all the Balkan cities, forts and remains of Roman cities, we decided to spend this special summer not on classic sightseeing, but on exploring the secrets of the sea depths. As underwater experts, we chose Losinj as our diving base - probably the best place in this part of Europe for lovers of undersea adventures.

We stood on the harbor coast of Trieste, breathless with delight. Before our eyes, Friulia Venezia Giulia was waking up from its night sleep - one of the most charming corners of Europe. Trieste was on our Italian journey for a reason - this ancient port was for centuries one of the most important metropolises on the continent. This is where East and West met. Closing our eyes and listening to the roar of the waves of the Gulf of Trieste, we heard the crash of boats that came to the shore, carrying countless riches on board - gold, silk and precious spices. Opening our eyes, we saw an equally impressive panorama - hundreds of stylish yachts and catamarans moored opposite Barcola - an elegant seaside boulevard and one of the icons of the city. Everywhere we looked, Trieste surprised us with the splendor of architecture that was the legacy of two powerful empires: ancient Rome and 19th-century Austria-Hungary.
