🥇 Step by Step Venice #2 - From the Doge’s Palace to the Clock Tower by
Hello dear travel lovers. While wandering through Venice, a thought often crossed my mind. If you took almost any building here and dropped it to a neighboring city, it would immediately become a landmark. Yet here, it’s just another house. Yes, a bit eye-catching but that’s all. It’s not just the unique setting that makes Venice one of the world’s most beautiful cities, of course. The local architecture possesses a charm that impresses every tourist.

🥈 Solo Travel in Istanbul Part 1 - Fatih and Balat Streets by
Hello my friends. Back in Istanbul again. Honestly missed this city like crazy. This time, I am traveling completely solo. If everything goes according to plan, I want to stay in Turkey for a longer period first enjoying Istanbul and then heading down to the southern coasts. Istanbul’s old airport Sabiha Gökçen, is on the Asian side. The new one is on the European side and it is really massive. Both of them are accessible by metro. You will require an Istanbulkart, which costs approximately 165 lira, a little more than 3 euros. I’ve already visited Hagia Sophia and Istiklal, so I’ll keep it short this time. And I wished to explore various places. First on my itinerary were the Fener and Balat neighborhoods. I visited magnificent mosques and churches that tourists hardly ever frequent, walked along the coast and crossed over to the Asian side of Istanbul, climbed up to one of Turkey's most extraordinary mosques to enjoy the stunning view and the legacy of the Magnificent century. I want to talk about all of these in this post series.

🥉 Quintandona Rural Village V2 / Riding Portugal by
The houses are small, compact, made of dark stone. Heavy wooden doors, some painted in discreet shades of green or blue, others left in their natural color, already polished by time. The windows are modest, many with flower boxes that seem to heroically resist the sun. There is a curious harmony in the repetition of materials, but never a feeling of monotony.
The streets are narrow, slightly irregular. The cobblestones don't allow for much distraction. You have to watch where you're stepping. Perhaps that's the magic. It compels us to be there.
