A day in Florence by George Parisis
How 24 hours in “Firenze” are not even remotely enough.
How 24 hours in “Firenze” are not even remotely enough.
The scenery, the history and the weather are a powerful combination that you’ll hardly ever forget.
“Always on the back of my mind but never actually making it there, it was when some good friends invited me over that I couldn’t possibly say “no”. The Lebanese capital knows how to brighten up your long weekends”.
From beautiful beaches and delicious food to a history and tradition that spreads all over the island.
The first time I visited Fire Island was in 2010. It was love at first sight!
A perfect day in the city goes like this…
This is it. A city recipe has it all. From cutting edge exhibitions, constantly emerging dining options and exquisite nightlife to endless walks and shopping till you drop.
This is an island with endless choices. Fancy some relaxing time alone, with family or friends?
You rarely pick places to visit at random. There’s always a reason for travelers who are willing to explore the global vastness.
Besides being a landmark on the island of Spetses, this is the one place I feel like home when I’m away.
You could visit it a thousand times without getting tired or bored. You could spend hours, days, a life, dining al fresco at small tratorias or wandering by the river and among the piazzas.
Here comes the living proof that the American, waspy style still exists. It's wrapped securely in this small sea resort, hidden among the iconic mansions and farms, the marina restaurants with the mouthwatering seafood.
You caught a glimpse of it from travel books, movies, literature. Step off the plane and somewhere between the warmth and the vastness, you'll know in no time. It's all here.
The truth is, one day in one of the world's largest cities can't be enough.
I can't think of a single negative word from the books of global language when it comes to describing Krabi. Located on the south-west coast of Thailand, this place can humbly fit in six words: A natural treasure of unmatched beauty.
Bagan is like an answer to Cambodia’s Angkor Wat. A sacred place with broad flat plains peppered with thousands of temples, shrines and stupas built between the 11th and 13th century.
My first trip abroad. I still remember how amazed I was seeing the Nile for the first time, with the wooden feluccas sailing in the morning.
One of the many estates or the Vanderbilt family, this is where you should lose yourself once in Newport.
They say Paris is the city of love. Olympia prefers calling it the city of light.
A city that holds a very special place in my heart. From the care-free times of my youth to the friendships that defy time and still remain, or the landmarks full of memories.
Visiting Cinque Terre is like going back in time. Made up of five villages, Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso, this unspoilt part of Italy's Lingurian coast seems to have jumped out of the set of “Il Postino”.
Tiny coral islands, scattered across the indian ocean. Lagoons with tempting emerald green waters and enldess streches of white sand.
There’s no space wider than a clear blue sky. Facing the reflection of such wideness in the morning, doubled not only the overwhelming landscape, but the feelings as well.
Whitewashed houses glued on mountainous landscapes. St. John's Book of Revelation and Byzantine monastery.
