According to Greek mythology, the nymph Aegina was forced by Zeus to become one of his lovers. The debauched god kidnapped her to the island of Ojnone, where she bore him a son. Years later, Ajakos returned to the island and named it after his mother. The most beautiful Greek island, which probably no one has heard of yet - this is how The Huffington Post website called Aegina. In fact, despite all its charm, it is not as popular with tourists as it could. Although that does not absolutely mean that it is not popular. Not at all. Vacationers often visit her during their stay in Athens, which is only a short distance away. A large percentage of people who come to Aegina want to spend the weekend or more time calmly, enjoying the lack of crowds and intimacy.

Almost all of us, avid enthusiasts of caravanning, take into account only SUVs and estate cars due to their passion. Of course, their functionality and capacity can positively surprise many travelers. Nevertheless, cars with a less practical body are equally well suited for towing even a heavy caravan . Sedans , because we are talking about them, in many cases have a spacious trunk, not to mention impressive towing power . One of the most interesting proposals available on the prestigious car market is the BMW 5 Series . The Bavarian limousine is available in a huge number of drive and equipment versions (we also have a practical station wagon to choose from). Probably due to its dignified image, the sedan enjoys greater recognition on the market. The front part of the car is dominated by traditional kidneys - usually decorated with a chrome border. Attention is drawn to the equally eloquent bi-xenon headlights (optional), enriched with LED daytime driving inserts . As befits a high-end vehicle, the 5 Series sideline is calm and elegant.

According to legends, Jason swam with his team to the shores of Lošinj in search of the golden fleece. The island delighted their contemporaries and still delights them today, especially for water sports enthusiasts. And dolphins. Whether in winter or hot summer, the Croatian island of Lošinj cannot complain about the lack of interest from tourists from various places in Europe. Its heart is Mali Lošinj - despite its name, the largest city on the island. It is well connected with other towns on Lošinj, as well as with the neighboring island of Cres. It is located in Augusta Bay, and thanks to its location it is an ideal starting point for tourists who want to explore all the attractive points of the area.

In summer, Vieste turns into the holiday capital of Apulia. This region of Italy tempts with a large number of campsites, golden beaches, white limestone rocks and the greenery of Foresta Umbra, which soothes and brings coolness. On the mountainous Gargano peninsula, in the Italian province of Foggia, lies Vieste, a resort named after the goddess of the hearth. In this region, Vesta had a special affection for the people of ancient Rome. Nowadays, the city spread over limestone rocks is not as quiet as one might suppose when you think about the patroness of a quiet, well-organized life, nevertheless families with children love to rest here.

The purpose of an air conditioner in a car or trailer is not only to lower the temperature, but also to reduce humidity, which will result in a greater sense of comfort on hot, muggy days.

Poles are increasingly turning to larger and more massive cars - on the American model. Vans are perfect for large families, but the pleasure they provide while driving alone is also important. An interesting proposition on the market is the "gem" of the Spanish manufacturer - the fantastically designed Seat Alhambra. The SEAT Alhambra is a classic based on solid workmanship and high-quality materials. Families, especially the larger ones, pay attention primarily to the spacious interior - when more than five people travel in the car every day, additional seats are needed. A Spanish vehicle provides them: they are located in the luggage compartment, you can easily open them. They were designed with the youngest car users in mind. The remaining comfortable and comfortable seats are intended for slightly older passengers.

Contrary to appearances, the title of the article was written in Polish. I assume everyone knows what camping is. Paddleboarding is a colloquial and slightly affectionate term for Stand Up Paddleboarding . This is another entertainment that requires an open body of water and a board. Since the sport is relatively new, certainly not everyone has heard of it. The easiest way to describe it is as a combination of surfing and kayaking. Lovers of this game swim across lakes, seas and even oceans (near the shore, of course) standing on a special board and rowing with a long oar. And this is the main advantage of SUP. Thanks to its own propulsion, paddleboarding is suitable for any type of water body. On a stand up paddleboard you can both cross lazy rivers and "climb" under violent waves.

During the premiere, Volkswagen T6 was presented in white and red colors. However, it was not a tribute to Polish customers, but a reference to the color of the first generation Volkswagen delivery truck. When presenting the new Transporter, the manufacturer emphasized the historical continuity that already connects six generations of this model. In terms of appearance, the sharpest lines of the T6 stand out from its predecessors. Its front is reminiscent of Volkswagen passenger cars, including the newest Golf and Passat. Of course, this bodes well for commercial success, as it evokes associations with refined and valued cars intended for comfortable travel.

In Norway, it can be not only beautiful and clean, but also warm and sunny - and that's for sure in Sandefjord. The whaling town in the south is one of the sunniest places in the country of the Northern Lights. The north of Europe can boast many advantages when it comes to tourism, but the number of sunny days is certainly not one of them. As a result, cities with more sun than their neighbors are very popular, even if they do not have many monuments. Such a place is Sandefjord, a young city famous for being the whaling capital of Norway. Some tourists, somewhat unfairly, do not give him a chance to get to know each other, treating the resort only as a transfer point to Oslo (Oslo-Torp airport) or Sweden (ferry to Stromstad). Meanwhile, you can spend a very nice day walking the streets of Sandefjord. The city is neat and pretty, and its surroundings are also attractive. It is called "Norwegian Sopot" for a reason.

On hot days at the campsite, you can either indulge in a carefree rest or ... curse the sun. If you prefer the former, you should simply prepare for summer. The solution may be to install air conditioning in the motorhome. More and more people have become accustomed to the air conditioning in the car, so the discomfort in a vehicle that does not have such a facility can be all the more irritating. After all, these are not the times when it was enough to say "sorry, this is our climate". However, it is worth knowing right away that cooling the caravan or motorhome is not an easy task. Air conditioners are powered by electricity, and due to the conditions in which they are used, they should save energy as much as possible. In addition, there are relatively thin walls of the caravan. If, in addition, it turns out that we have a vehicle with large windows, and the place of parking is not sheltered by trees, we must take into account that the air conditioning performance will differ from that of a car powered by an engine.
