Vacation in the city of love – main image

It is hard to imagine a better place for a trip for two than a romantic Venice on the warm Adriatic Sea. This city attracts couples in love like no other - well, one would like to say, it's probably such a romantic atmosphere here.

Visiting Venice is at first glance an extremely complicated matter: the city lies on 118 islands that are connected by charming stone bridges and narrow footbridges. In fact, this "Italian mess" is very easy to grasp - not only famous gondolas run on the canals, but also reliable vaporetti (water buses) and water taxis. Besides, even if we get lost for a moment among numerous picturesque tenement houses, our reliable partner will certainly find the way (the more that a clear arrow shows it ...) Note, however - walking along the narrow streets between successive, more and more beautiful palaces, we can fall in love not only with the Partner walking next to us, but also with wonderful architecture! Yes, Venice is not only the "capital of lovers" but also one of the most architecturally beautiful places in the world.

Venetian time travel

A vacation in Italy is always an opportunity to travel back in time. Venice is great for this! It is here that the greatest artists of their time, including the brilliant Tintoretto, created their works. At the request of powerful families, palaces that were unmatched in wealth were created. Baroque and Renaissance interiors of places such as the famous Doge's Palace will allow us to discover more and less known stories. Yes, it is within the walls of this mighty palace that we can see the place where the most famous lover in history - Giacomo Casanova was imprisoned. The former Jewish district, which today houses active synagogues, is a fascinating and still alive mixture of two cultures that have been intertwined here for centuries. One cannot forget the symbol of Venice - the Rialto Bridge, which has been attracting attention with its beauty for over 800 years. While standing in one of the windows carved in white stone, it is worth closing your eyes for a moment and simply soaking up the sounds and smells of this unique place. It is worth ending our journey through Venice at the Basilica of St. Mark - the patron saint of this city. This church is a place of particular importance to its inhabitants. The massive structure was built throughout history, destroyed and rebuilt between the 9th and 14th centuries. Moreover, in the heyday of the city, by law every ship entering the port had to donate some part of its wealth. No wonder that we can find here not only a variety of styles, but also decorations from around the world. In the evening, it is worth taking care of a full stomach - eating in Venice is an important matter! Fans of Italian flavors will appreciate a light meal served in open bacari, small bars serving local dishes with plenty of wine.

Visiting the south of Sicily
Sicily, known as the Island of the Sun, is the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. Its south-west part is only 100 km from the coast of Africa. The landscape is more hilly and mountainous with steep shores. What to see in this part of Sicily? What dishes characteristic of this largest region of Italy are worth trying? We invite you to read!. Let's start with Ragusa, which is one of the main cities of the southern part of Sicily. The main attractions of visiting Ragusa should be the valuable baroque monuments of sacred art - the Cathedral of San Giovanni, the Duomo si dan Giorgio and the Church of San Giuseppe. Apart from them, take a stroll through the historic city center, full of narrow streets that are climatically inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Interestingly, the city was almost completely destroyed during an earthquake in the 17th century, and after rebuilding it was divided into two parts - Ragusa Superiore and Ragusa Ibla - the latter is particularly interesting due to the romantic atmosphere among quiet alleys with a Baroque history in the background. Another point of family holidays in Sicily - one of the most important cities of the ancient world. It is worth seeing the cathedral, behind the facade of which is the temple of Athena from the 5th century BC. Then you can check out the city of olives and almonds, or Noto. From the monuments you will see the cathedral with two twin towers and the Church of Santa Chiara. In turn, 50 km from Marsala you will find excavations in Selinunte - to this day most of them are hidden in the ground. The last, but equally important, stop should be Agrigento with its famous Valley of the Temples. There is also a large port nearby, from which the ships on the Pelagie Island - Lampedusa and Linosa depart.
