There’s no shortage of choice for beach lovers this summer. Europe once again holds the record for Blue Flags, a recognition that highlights the quality of both beach and sea, with new arrivals and long-standing confirmations. If you then consider that even the beaches without the recognition are usually stunning (even if they lack some […]
The heart of Portugal’s Algarve region is red. It stands out above a stretch of white rock and copper-colored sand, overlooking the Atlantic waves. It is Praia da Falèsia, a stretch of white cliffs culminating in red-hot peaks, which become a veritable blaze of beauty under the setting sun. A complicated path to navigate, and […]
Locri and its beaches have been awarded a “Blue Flag” this summer of 2026, and there’s no better reward for an area of Calabria with such a breathtaking beauty and long, troubled history, often associated with criminal activity. Locri experienced difficult times after the unification of Italy, and banditry persisted in its hinterland for […]
Where Greece and Albania meet, lie two of the most beautiful seaside resorts in Southern Europe. Despite being located in two different countries, separated only by a narrow strip of sea, the island of Corfu (Greece) and the town of Ksamil (on the Albanian coast) are in fact twins, not strangers.

The Blue Flag certificate, a prestigious license awarded by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) since the 1980s. It is given to coastal resorts that meet specific quality criteria (cleanliness of the sea, beaches, efficiency of services, marinas, and transportation). The recognition is valid throughout Europe but, over time, has also expanded to other countries […]

Literally “sitting” between Portugal and the sea, Galicia shares only a few common characteristics with Spain. In fact, […]
Why would a tourist book a vacation in Antananarivo, the capital of Madagascar, if this city is so far away from all the beaches and wild natural attractions of the large African island? To take an alternative and unique trip, first of all; to experience a different Africa, too; to create unique memories tied to […]
We want to tell you about the island of Capri, today. About its lights and shadows, where “shadows” don’t mean problems (there will be some, but we won’t look for them) but hidden, secret places, less touristy and equally beautiful. You can’t ignore the classic beauties of this special island, but you shouldn’t get stuck […]
Flanders is a region that Belgium shares with the neighbouring Netherlands. It occupies the north of the country and surrounds the autonomous region of the capital, Brussels. Belgium is not usually a popular tourist destination; in fact, it is (wrongly!) considered a “flat country,” meaning a boring place. But its northern part has an added […]
