Cavallino-Treporti is a wonderful corner of the Gulf of Venice, a bit aggressively between the waters of the Adriatic Sea and the lagoon. It is located so close to the capital of the region, lively and crowded at any time of the year, and yet it offers relaxation in the surroundings of nature, relaxation during cycling trips or walks on the beaches. And it must be emphasized that the island's beaches beat their competitors in the way - they are about 15 km long, wide and very picturesque. The surrounding areas are flat, friendly to tourists' feet, tempting for long walks and contemplating the beauty of nature. Cavallino's cultural calendar is full of interesting events, and the local cuisine is saturated with a variety of flavors. It will not be an exaggeration to say that the stay on the island is a feast for both body and spirit.

Some people say it's better not to come here in summer, mainly for two reasons: the smells and the tourists. In fact, Venice is crowded in summer, and the high temperatures make the smells above the canals even more intense. However, it is difficult to expect that a town built on marshy islands, which was once a fishing village, smells different than it does. And it is hardly surprising that in such an attractive tourist center it is crowded in high season. And Venice is beautiful without a doubt, even in crowds or in bad weather, it grabs the heart and steals the soul. Many a tourist will agree with the words of the writer Herman Melville: "I prefer to be in Venice on one rainy day than on a clear day in any other capital.".

In the films, the protagonist who wanders through the forest or dark corners of cities at night usually holds a flashlight in his hand. Perhaps it is more effective this way. But it is more convenient to attach the flashlight to your forehead - of course, not only when your life is like an action movie, but also at the campground or during the evening jogging. We tested three Fenix "headlamps" for you, i.e. headlamps. At first glance, they do not differ in any great way, or at least not so much that the differences in appearance justify the differences in price. That is why we decided to check in more detail what is behind the individual models.

Although shrouded in mystery, or maybe because of that, the Dethleffs Coco caravan was one of the biggest sensations of the 2017 Caravanning Show. And although it is still a prototype, it is to be mass-produced next year. Ultralight, multifunctional and beautiful - this, according to the manufacturer, is the Coco caravan. In fact, rounded edges can be enjoyed, and the curved front with a panoramic longitudinal window, above which there is another (roof) window, attracts attention. This caravan cannot be confused with any other, although… You can see some similarities (lots of glazing, longitudinal windshield, simple, light and modern styled interior) to the BaseCamp model of the British brand Swift . It's just that the weight of the British is at least 891 kg, while Dethleffs claims that his caravan will weigh ... 638 kg .

Traveling in a camper or car with a trailer has many advantages, but it may also involve some inconveniences. We are accustomed to using many electrical devices on a daily basis and it is difficult for us to imagine that we would suddenly give up all of them. Fortunately, there are ways to minimize this problem. We talk about electricity in a camper with Grzegorz Michalak from Dometic Poland. Camprest: How can you run, for example, a hair dryer and a coffee machine, i.e. devices that consume a lot of electricity during operation, in a camper that is not connected to the 230 V network?.

The Croatian peninsula Istria is the greenest place in the northern Adriatic. If some colors were assigned to it, it would be green (forests) and blue (seas). The Istrian air is saturated with the scents of conifers and macchia, the coastline consists of dozens of coves, lagoons and points of larger and smaller islands, and the heart of the peninsula are mountains climbing towards the sky. The region is extremely sunny (almost 2400 hours of sunshine a year), and the water surrounding it is characterized by a high degree of purity. No wonder that so many tourists decide to spend their holidays here - they are guaranteed to rest in a beautiful place with an excellent aura.

Already with his earlier models, Globe-Traveler has shown that he does not intend to be only a follower of what his Western competitors are doing, but that he wants to compete with them in terms of applied solutions. But only Rookie can be considered a real revolution. The company from Poland has done the impossible, or at least what the biggest brands on the motorhome market could not achieve. The Rookie model (presented in Dusseldorf under the working name Swift) is one of the few models on the European market, which, measuring only 500 cm in length, has a bathroom and three beds on board!.

Today it is hard to imagine that exile to a beautiful island covered with Mediterranean vegetation can be a punishment. For Napoleon, however, it was quite painful, given that he was an ambitious person and, if he could, he would control several places at once, instead of being stuck on a piece of land surrounded by water. Meanwhile, it is enough to get to know this piece of land to envy the French emperor more than sympathize. Elba is the largest of the Tuscan Islands archipelago and the third largest island in Italy. It is situated on the border between the Mediterranean and the Ligurian Sea, and is approx. 10 km away from the coast. The long (almost 147 km) coastline attracts thousands of people every year for whom vacation in Italy is the time of sunbathing. There are beautiful beaches with golden sand and rocky, unfriendly to bare feet. The first group includes, among others Marina di Campo , Fetovaia or Cavoli, and to the second - Capo Bianco and Le Ghiaie. There are many steep cliffs on Elba, natural obstacles preventing you from reaching the wildest places by non-sea routes. The island teases the tourist this way, both tempting and demanding. The persistent ones are rewarded with views of picturesque coves, colorfully colored cliffs and lush greenery. Elba is also a place with the atmosphere of a fishing village. It is loved by divers, both beginners, who can explore, for example, the Pomonte wreck, lying on the bottom at a depth of 10 meters, as well as professionals. They prefer places like Capo Stella , where smooth-skinned moray eels swim between the red coral. On land, tourists spend their time equally interesting - on excursions, mountain climbing and a number of other activities (including a cable car trip to the top of Monte Capanne).

Lake Garda is located in the north-eastern part of Italy. This place is loved by tourists from all over the world. Lush vegetation, vineyards and majestic mountain peaks dominate this famous body of water. There are also many picturesque, often historic towns with intimate, but often excellent restaurants and bars. It is in such places that we have the opportunity to discover the amazing flavors of local cuisine. Lago di Garda is an extraordinary place. It is not only the most beautiful, but also the largest and cleanest lake in Italy . Lovers of water sports, sunbathing and fishing eagerly come there. The southern part of the lake has a more Mediterranean climate than the northern one and is full of thermal springs. On the other hand, the northern shore of Lake Garda is shrouded in mountain peaks, which is why the wind blows there more often, and this is favorable, among others, for practicing windsurfing.
