Until recently, the answer seemed obvious - and it is still the case that Croatia is one of the most-chosen holiday destinations. Bulgaria is often associated with the times of crude communism and infrastructure that differs from modern expectations. Is it right?. First, an important clarification. Although Bulgaria does not belong to the Schengen Area, Poles visiting this country only need an ID card . It is also worth knowing that there are vignettes on the roads (prices: from EUR 8 per week or from EUR 15 per month).

We will see both mountainous and lowland landscapes, conifers, olive groves, as well as numerous monuments. Those who are planning a vacation in this part of Italy will be delighted with their stay, as there are wonderful beaches, warm azure waters and a whole lot of attractions for all ages. If someone has spent a holiday in Tuscany at least once, he certainly knows how many interesting places there are and how difficult it is to choose the ones that you must see. We are not bored, even if we decide to limit ourselves to a specific part of the region and, for example, rest by the water. In the north of the Tuscan coast lies Marina di Massa , a typical seaside resort. While standing on its pier, it is enough to turn your back to the sea to admire the view of the mountains - the Apuan Alps look beautiful at any time of the year, especially in winter, when they are sprinkled with snow. More or less in the middle of the coastline lies Livorno , a resort with a large harbor, historic center and a lively nightlife with bars and pubs with martini glasses ringing. The city's flagship dish is cacciucco, fish soup, prepared with red wine, torta di ceci, chickpea flour pancake with eggplants, and the drink - ponce livornese, i.e. coffee with rum, sugar and lemon. Orbetello is located on the southern coast of Tuscany, on the Argentario peninsula. The colors of the surrounding landscapes are green (pine forests) and blue (sea). During the week it is quite quiet here, but on weekends many Italians rest on the beaches. It is also bustling at the marina.

Most of the region is under protection - there are national parks and plenty of nature reserves. The favorable climate makes Abruzzo a land of vineyards, but we can also find original flavors of local cuisine there. Abruzzo is a unique region, mainly due to its location, thanks to which we have the opportunity to travel from the sea to the mountains . In addition, it is the only area in Europe where we can see many unique species of plants and animals threatened with extinction. Abruzzo is full of valleys and hills, and the snow-capped peaks of the Apennines reach 3000 meters above sea level.

Camping tourism in Poland attracts more and more lovers of independent travel. Family trips, national and international rallies, summer and winter trips with campers or caravans have become a separate lifestyle. Supporters of this form of tourism leave their sedentary lifestyle for a while and set off on a journey - to their favorite places, to new routes at home and abroad. Traveling and living in a "house on wheels" requires good organization and preparation for the trip, and thanks to modern technology - today it does not require sacrifice. 21st century camping can be just comfortable and truly independent. This aspect of travel is provided by a practical companion - a reliable, small and light generator, i.e. a mobile source of its own electricity. Single-phase units with inverter voltage and frequency stabilization designed for such a form of spending holidays ensure the operation of basic household appliances on board and, if necessary, power tools. Honda EU generators, generating electricity of the highest quality, even better than electricity in household sockets, are completely safe for electronic receivers such as laptops or LCD screens. They are equipped with fuel-saving engines that provide several hours of power on one refueling. They are also quiet and have very low exhaust emissions - far below the required standards.

Veneto is an ideal holiday destination for families with children, for couples in love, for those who cannot sit still and would like to extend their night, and for those who want to forget about the whole world and simply relax - even on a sun lounger by the pool. Both for those who like to relax in a luxury hotel, and for those who are happy with a tent and the sound of the sea to sleep. In short, for everyone. Including those who travel the world on four legs. Italy is a country friendly to four-legged tourists. Many owners of accommodation facilities accept guests with dogs. Restaurateurs who welcome them in their premises, not to mention displaying water bowls, are similarly open. Dogs can be found in the store, and even while visiting monuments - this applies to small breeds held in hands. If we take a pet on vacation in Italy , we must remember about his passport and health book, and that he is considered a full passenger in means of transport (he must have a ticket). The problem arises when you want to sunbathe - there are still not many places where dogs could freely splash in the water and run out on the sand. One such place is Doggy Beach , a beach designed by the great beastmaster. He leased a piece of land and made efforts to ensure himself and others the opportunity to rest by the water with a pet. Before the dog beach was created, there was not a single place like this on the entire 8-kilometer stretch of the coast. It is located in Lignano Sabbiadoro, one of the busiest resorts in the Adriatic . The city has large beaches, a nice promenade with restaurants and a promenade with stalls, shops and pubs running through the center.
