Crete Travelogue: Crete's Most Beautiful Beaches

More information about the route, costs and impressions of the trip can be found here. During our summer holiday on the island of Crete, on four of the days we visited 4 of the top beaches on the island, some of which rank among the best beaches in Europe. One day we were at a water park - where on vacation with children without a water park? And we set aside the remaining two days for cultural events in the larger cities, i.e. A walk through Rethymno + an olive and cave factory one day, and a city walk around Chania. (Personal opinion - city...

Crete travelogue: itinerary, sights, expenses, tips, impressions

Any normal person would say that it is not a good idea to go to the island of Crete in the height of summer, because at this time of the year the temperatures there are unbearably high. But after my son broke his wrist right at the beginning of the summer and thus failed our planned vacation in Antalya with a huge number of water parks included, we decided that although already in the middle of summer it was time to visit a new place, unknown to us - Crete. Long delayed, but here comes his star hour.

One Week in the Maldives – Travelogue Part 1

Destination and organization choices during the COVID idea of visiting the Maldives came naturally during the COVID19 epidemic in the winter of 2020-2021. In fact, we originally had plane tickets purchased for the Philippines for the same dates we were in the Maldives. We waited until the end (until a month before our flights), but unfortunately the Philippines never opened their borders to tourists. So we decided to redirect to another destination. And since the winter was going away, and we already have a habit of going somewhere in a warm place in the middle of winter,...

Cruise in the Mediterranean with a small baby

In 4 days we go on a cruise! We made the decision to go on a cruise at 9.05 ie. Just 4 days before departure. Then quite by chance we came across the great offer to travel with the MSC cruise company with their ship Lirica in a cabin with a balcony for only 239 euros per person for dates 13-20.05.2011! It was a super last minit offer and we decided that now we felt like taking advantage. We have been looking for a similar price for a long time and now we have found it. We called the Bulgarian agency that offered exactly this cruise - Premier Tours,...

by car to the extraordinary Cappadocia

Organizing the trip, Cappadocia has always seemed to me not so interesting, nor a dream destination, perhaps because it is located in neighboring Turkey and I have never had the desire and purpose of visiting it. That's why I was surprised by myself when my 27th birthday approached and suddenly I decided that I wanted to celebrate it in Cappadocia - it was certainly shaping up to be a different experience. Travel dates were April 25-30, 2017. Just 3 weeks before the trip I booked through Booking.com Nights at Antique House as…

Travelogue for Paris

ПАРИЖ 8-13 ЮЛИ 2010 г. Самолетните билети до Париж купихме по време на една от първите промоции на Wizz Air, когато всички билети бяха с 20% отстъпка. Цената на двупосочният билет бе 70 лв./човек или 140 лв. общо за двамата. В Париж разгледахме всички възможни забележителности в продължение на 5 дни и буквално се скапахме от ходене от едно място на друго. На мен си ми беше добре, но Симеон може много да ви се оплаква за моите издевателства върху него в стил “Хайде да разгледаме това, онова, да влезем…

One Week in the Maldives - Travelogue Part 2

To the previous travelogue for Maldives - travelogue for the Maldives - Part 1 First impressions of the Maldives As the Maldives approaches, the view from the plane window has changed. As you could see for hours the endless blue sea suddenly began to stand out the small Maldivian islands with their lagoons, filled with light blue and turquoise water. The view from above was extremely beautiful! We could see both entire islands and entire atolls (groups of islands in a certain shape). The resort we would be accommodated in offered 2 types of transfer from the airport to the island of…

Travelogue: Summer holiday in Kusadasi The whole trip started from an offer I found on a collective shopping site.

The dates were 25-31.05.2013. Simeon and I traveled with Simeon, our daughter Avi, who was then 2 and a half years old + my parents. We traveled in a gas car, having previously printed countless maps of our route to Kusadasi,...

Guide to Venice

Venice 26-29.06.2010 Airline tickets to Venice The low-cost airline Wizz Air had just recently entered the Bulgarian market and they had released a 20% discount on all plane tickets. On the occasion of my birthday, we decided to get another ticket. And so we took first to Venice, and then to Paris. The two-way ticket from Sofia to Venice cost BGN 35, or in other words, BGN 70 in total for both of them. In reality, however, the ticket cost BGN 0, and this BGN 35 was various airport and administrative fees. Camping JOLLY We stayed in a campsite…
