Last Minute Holiday Deals – A Game of Nerve and Patience

It’s not for everyone, but if you can hold your nerve and are prepared to be flexible, then you can get some great late holiday deals by leaving things to the last minute. There are millions of people who like to follow the traditional route of visiting the same place each year. And even among [...]

Primosten

Finally. I found a place I truly like. Primosten is everything I expected. It is chilled out and beautiful. There are literally no sights so one can just kick back and relax. The setting is absolutely spectacular and the people seem friendlier too. I like it. For once I didn’t have to get up in [...]

Zadar

I did manage to get up in the morning. I am very much impressed with myself. I even arrived at the train station with time to spare. Since I was starving I went to Scottish restaurant that serves coffee and fast food. I always thought that a McShit is equally bad all over the world. [...]

Action Plan for project “mantravel Balkan”

Action Plan sounds pretty cool but I don’t actually have one. I booked a flight to Vienna because it was cheap and it’s easy to get to Ljubljana from there. The Slovenian capital is one of the places I really do want to visit. I forgot why but I kinda liked when I stopped there [...]

Harry’s Bar

Visitors to the Veneto should not miss the opportunity to sample a Bellini at the famous Harry’s Bar in Venice. It is one of the “must visit” locations in the city, a perfect way to unwind after a day of walking around by the canals. Harry’s Bar has been around since 1931 and boasts more [...]

Opera Houses

There are many people who love to combine their city breaks with the chance to see one of the leading opera companies in action. Opera has been loved by millions over the past two centuries or more, and remains hugely popular in many parts of the world. Europe in particular is a great place to [...]
