Chianti is a region that stretches between Siena and Florence and includes towns such as Radda, Castellina, Greve and Gaiole. It has gained a reputation for its unforgettable landscapes and the wonderful atmosphere of medieval towns. However, his greatest fame was not the landscapes, but the wine, including the star Chianti Classico. You will recognize it by the symbol - a black cockerel (gallo nero) is looking daringly from the bottle label. Chianti will appeal to anyone who wants to remember a holiday in Italy as a time to savor the flavors. The local landscapes are touching the heart, encouraging you to take long trips. The region smells of lavender and herbs, and gravel roads wind lazily over its gentle hills. There is hardly a person whose mood would not be improved by the sight of sunflower fields, which paint the landscape in a joyful yellow color. The color palette is joined by the greenery of vineyards covering hectares of land. Many tourists visit the region just to get to know the taste of local wine - Chianti is the most important wine region of Tuscany . The local products are red wines, mainly of the Sangiovese variety, with a strongly acidic taste and clear tannins. The best are Castello di Alma, Castell'in Villa and Fèlsina.

The momentum and the setting of this year's Caravan Salon seem to confirm the attitude of the industry - it is very good, the demand for recreational vehicles is constantly growing, and manufacturers in many cases are approaching or even exceeding their production capacity. The annual number of motorhomes produced last year exceeded 107,000 vehicles, which means a 30% increase in just 2 years (!). During many press presentations at leading manufacturers, not so much revolutionary changes and novelties were presented, but cosmetic improvements to existing solutions, at the same time highlighting the problems with the implementation of the flood of orders. Dethleffs alone, with a turnover of EUR 370 million, is at the end of its possibilities, and even smaller players are thinking about increasing production capacity - Carthago, which ended its financial year at the end of July and boasted a total of 4,900 vehicles, for example, is planning 6,000 for the next year, there will be no problems with selling them. Even manufacturers of real locks on wheels (Concorde, Morelo and Volkner) predict a similar increase in demand.

There are many places in Tuscany that are perfect for a holiday. Depending on what we expect, we can enjoy the amenities of a noisy seaside resort or soak up the atmosphere of small towns with narrow streets with all our senses. If we choose the Etruscan Coast, we will have a rest surrounded by a pine forest, relaxing on a sandy beach, many attractions in the water park and the taste of delicious wine. In the heart of the Etruscan Coast, on a hill visible from a distance, lies Castagneto Carducci , a typical tourist destination with almost as many holidaymakers as inhabitants during the summer season. Many of them occupy the coastal district - Marina di Castagneto Carducci . The local beach has the Blue Flag status, it is sandy and wide, but most of its sections are paid. If someone would like to sunbathe economically and without crowds, he should wander a little further, outside the center. On the outskirts, the beaches are not developed, but intimate. Natural dunes stretch by them, the air smells like pine trees and you can hear cicadas. People who are relaxed about life can walk a few hundred meters further north (towards Marina di Bibbona). There they will find an unofficial naturist beach - a guarantee that they will bring an equal tan from their holidays in Italy .

Lombardy, one of the richest regions in Europe, has plenty of tourist attractions. The pearl of this milk and honey (although it would be more appropriate here: wine and olive oil) of the flowing region of Italy is Garda, the largest and cleanest lake in the country. Due to the mild climate, it is surrounded by lush Mediterranean vegetation, and the fauna living in its waters is equally rich. In the past, the air around the lake smelled of citrus - numerous oranges were built here. If you dare to try to rank tourists visiting Garda, you can say that the southern shores are chosen by amateurs of blissful rest, relaxation in thermal baths, and always young at heart, who love having fun in amusement parks. In turn, the north of the lake is the region of water sports enthusiasts, with particular emphasis on surfers.

How much do you have to pay for a new motorhome? Everyone who starts to be interested in caravanning asks a similar question at some point. The differences in the prices of motorhomes of different brands are huge, but it is worth being aware that there is more to the higher price than "just" the brand and the manufacturer's reputation. I've been planning an article on this subject for a long time, but finally I was inspired to write it by a visit to the Caravan Salon 2017 in Düsseldorf . There, I could directly compare both the prices of the vehicles on display next to each other, as well as assess their "organoleptically" quality.

Caravan Salon 2017 is behind us - the fair in Düsseldorf, during which you could see almost the entire caravanning offer available on the German market. Although the number of motorhomes and accessories could make you dizzy, we managed to pick out a few trends that combined the proposals of various exhibitors. A year or two ago, while browsing catalogs and manufacturers' websites, you could notice a retreat from camper vans with an alcove. But vehicles that have an added recess for a mattress above the driver's cab are now making a comeback again, with the alcove itself changing its shape . Its front can be rounded, flattened, finely trimmed, which makes the alcove itself a distinguishing feature or even a decoration for a vehicle of a given brand.
