Itinerary of Krk: what to see in this pretty Croatian Island.
Krk Island and its cities Me and my girlfriend decided to pass this Easter with some friends in Krk, a beautiful Croatian Island. It’s not so far from Italy. In fact, driving along the coast and passing by a mile long bridge, we reached the island of Krk. It’s located in the northern Adriatic Sea and it’s famous because of its mild climate, its geographical position, its natural and cultural beauty. The beaches here are already wild and untouched (well, most of them). Therefore I hope you can visit it as soon as possible, at least before this could change. Not all of you know that this is the largest…

Second, its Old Town heart is attested by UNESCO so there is no need to say that it’s very beautiful. I visited this town in December, it was cold outside but there were lots of Christmas markets, perfect for tasting some local food. Different monuments in Krakow Old Town St Mary’s Basilica…

Cuba: a timeless travel in this amazing Caribbean Island.
You probably already know that traveling to Havana is like traveling back in time: the weathered buildings, the old classic cars and the rich history standing out as top lures on your visit to Cuba. When we arrived in Cuba, we first visited the city of Havana, the capital of this Caribbean Island. Everything seems to be stopped in 1950s: the cars, the buildings, the streets and much more. One thing I have recommended myself to do is to have a ride on this particular vehicle, and I did it! Listening to the latin music they have with the wind and the sea breeze blowing in the hair have no…
