At the early November of 2018, my friend and I decided to go to Amsterdam. Last time I’d been to Amsterdam was about 15 years ago, so I was excited. We went for the canals and… well… brownies, but I can tell you that I most definitely would’ve stayed for the food and the atmosphere.… Continue reading Hey, Amsterdam. You’re lovely!

Talk tae me in Scots
September is my favorite time to travel. There’s an autumn feel in the air. If you travel to Northern countries – it’s a little windy, it’s not too hot and not too crowded anymore. If you travel to South, you get to prolong your summer and again – no crowds. So, you might see why… Continue reading Talk tae me in Scots

But it didn't last too long, since I knew we're about to go on a long hike in Lo Zingaro Nature Reserve. You have to pay 5 EUR to enter. You… Continue reading La Bella Sicilia IX

DAY 8 This was it... We couldn't decide on anywhere else where to go. So we headed for beach. Well, beaches. Multiple. We started with a beach near Tyrrhenian Beach Village. That was a sandy beach, no rocks in the water, so a good place if you want to swim. But it didn't seem quite what… Continue reading La Bella Sicilia VIII

Why was Castellamare del Golfo the best choice for exploring Western Sicily? Because every destination we chose - it was an hour drive or less. So convenient! Besides - it was just 40 minutes to Palermo airport as well. DAY 7 The previous evening we were discussing possible places to go to on our 7th… Continue reading La Bella Sicilia VII

Now, after our trip, I can really say that Castellamare del Golfo was a very good "base camp" for us to get to see Western Sicily. Not too big, not too small. Beautiful location and easy access to everywhere. DAY 6 So, we started our stay in Castellamare with a run there. I always think… Continue reading La Bella Sicilia VI
