Planning a trip to #Greece requires timing it right. While July brings the famous sunshine, it also brings peak prices and packed ferries. If you visit in late April or October, you avoid the rush, though you need to double-check ferry routes as some island schedules scale back. The mainland, however, is perfect for #hiking during these cooler months.

I was on my way home when my car broke down just outside Lübeck. I had to wait until the next day to get it checked and fixed, so I took a stroll through the city.
This is the Buddenbrookhaus—though at the time, I didn’t know that. I just liked the view. Funny how some places only reveal their meaning later.
I’ve always had a bit of a soft spot for Thomas Mann—something I picked up during an Erasmus semester in Turin, hanging out quite a lot with Germanistik students.

Among the hills of Caiazzo, in Upper Campania, Rossella and Maurizio have transformed an old abandoned farmhouse into a corner of slow, authentic hospitality: Le Piracante.

Here you sleep surrounded by olive trees, have breakfast with zero-mile products, hike through the Monti Trebulani, and taste the Caiazzana Olive and Pallagrello wine. And you rediscover the rarest luxury: time.

Planning a trip down the #AlbanianRiviera requires some strategy. Peak summer brings heavy crowds and intense heat to #Albania. Aiming for the shoulder months like September or early June gives you a completely different perspective. The Ionian Sea stays warm enough for swimming, but the coastal villages quiet down. You get better rates and actual space to breathe.
