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.

Half of the holidays are behind us! However, many people plan their holidays at the turn of August and September. Holidays with a child always bring additional complications, but also great joy from spending time together. We decided to present several products that will be useful not only during holidays, but also during any other trip with children!. KIDS is a fully professional backpack for every little adventurer. Straight from DEUTER. Designed so that every child from the age of 3 can use it independently. The backpack has buckle closures designed especially for children. The back is contoured and filled with soft, breathable foam, which also protects the child's back when carrying angular objects. The main compartment is tightened with a rope and buckle and fastened from the outside with two buckles.

If you asked the average tourist to indicate attractive regions of Poland, his list would probably include the area by the sea, in the mountains or in Masuria (any order). He would rather be surprised if he heard that he would find many interesting places in Silesia. But the average tourist can be forgiven - and you can also point out places that he may not have heard of, and which he now regrets seeing their beauty so late. Such places are, among others Tarnowskie Góry, a town surrounded by water reservoirs and forests on the edge of the Silesian metropolis.

Sea, mountains, forest… regardless of where we go on holiday, you will need to pack. Good preparation for a trip can save you a lot - not only worries!. First of all – documents. When traveling around the country, you will need an ID card. It will also be useful abroad (in the European Union), although in many cases you will need a passport and a visa (if it is mandatory in the place you are going to). Additionally: an EHIC card, entitling you to use public health services in the EU, confirmation of insurance and a vaccination booklet (depending on the destination). If you plan to rent a car, you will need a driving license. Discounted sightseeing will be possible with a student or pensioner ID. It is worth taking copies of these documents with you: they will confirm our identity if the originals are stolen or lost.

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.

Thanks to its location in the southwestern part of the country, Aquitaine tempts tourists both with beaches on the Atlantic and mountain trips in the Pyrenees. It is important for Christians, many of whom make pilgrimages to Lourdes, the famous sanctuary. Fans of sports shows will not be bored there. And, as befits France, it delights wine connoisseurs - this is where the region with about 8,000 wine estates (châteaus) is located, i.e. the world-famous Bordeaux. We can start the story about Aquitaine with the cuisine, an important element of which is asparagus - because the region is famous for growing it. The menu of local restaurants is filled with fish and seafood dishes. Notable dishes include: salt in wine with seafood, sea mussels or lamprey in vegetables. A popular meal, served in virtually every pub, is cod puree with olive oil and milk - brandade. It will appeal to people who like very salty dishes. Aquitaine cuisine is based on meat. What will we encounter when looking through the menu? Undoubtedly, roasted lamb with thyme, veal schnitzels with truffles or the flagship dish of the region, the Bordeaux entrecote. A tourist who would like to spend a holiday at a campsite in France and get to know this country from the culinary side will certainly pay a lot of attention to wines. Aquitaine boasts Bordeaux, where approximately 850 million bottles of wine are produced each year. White, red, sweet, dry - you will find all types here, for every budget, meeting the requirements of every taste bud.

Outside Van is an American brand that conjures up vans from ordinary Mercedes Sprinter vans - unusual, because they are prepared in accordance with the wishes of customers. We can decide on basic changes, ready-made configurations or order an individual modernization. What we can immediately like the Outside Van brand is transparency of information. We would very much like other manufacturers to envy the Americans and inform them about how long is waiting for the ordered vehicle and what costs should be taken into account. And it does not matter that the information provided on the website is very general - it gives you a good idea of what to expect.

Outside Van - Sprinter different from all the others

Pula is the largest city on the Istrian peninsula and one of the most popular (especially among Polish tourists) Croatian resorts. In the distant past, it had a significant military and trade importance in the Mediterranean basin - not only was it one of the strategically important Roman cities, it was also one of the most beautiful. Its position was overthrown only by Venice with its dynamically developing port. Pula has a well-deserved reputation as an exceptionally beautiful city, not only in the northern part of Croatia, but throughout the country. It is called Croatian Rome because of its location on seven hills, and also because of its greatest attraction - the historic amphitheater. It is the third largest facility of this type in the world (after the Colosseum and Arena in Nîmes, France). Interestingly, the marble building has survived to this day in much better condition than the Roman monument. There is a large parking lot right next to it - if you are planning a trip to Croatia by car, it is best to park it in Pula.

Levanto is an attractive town located in the Italian province of La Spezia. Thanks to its small size, it provides both residents and visiting tourists with the opportunity to relax peacefully. Not everyone knows that the town is famous for the strongest waves in Italy, which means that sometimes it is not so quiet here. Levanto is located approximately 60 km from Genoa, while the provincial capital, La Spezia, is approximately 20 km away. It has a nice, extensive bay, partially protected on the south side. Ironically, the tongue of land, which serves as a shield against sea wind attacks, is also the cause of strong waves, sometimes 3-4 meters high. They form mainly in the central part of the bay's waters - its heart. Angry waves are a tasty morsel for daredevils who come here to face the elements and, like a wild horse, try to tame one of them using a surfboard or a sail. When the strongest waves are formed, surfers come to Levanto from all over Europe. Many people planning to spend an active camping holiday in Italy consider this part of the Ligurian coast also because the water here is warm and very clean. We cannot forget about the advantages on land. Levanto boasts a long, sandy beach and lots of greenery - the surrounding areas are densely covered with olive and pine trees.
