Rome, La Città Eterna

Samuel Johnson said: “Greece appears to be the fountain of knowledge; Rome, of elegance”. Well, this couldn’t be more true in terms of architecture and lifestyle that you’ll only meet in Rome. Both times I’ve visited this charming city, I was delighted to explore its many touristic attractions, as Rome offers an abundance of sights rich in history, tales and legends.

Romanian destination: Sinaia and its attractions

There are days when I crave for rest and silence and Sinaia is the perfect place to go to in such moments.

Sinaia also answers to the cultural needs of the tourists visiting it, as you’ll see below. 

So, here is a list of some of the places in Sinaia and its surroundings that are close to my heart:

Romanian destination: Sighisoara and its wonderful Festival of Medieval Arts and Crafts

As the end of the month is quickly approaching, I decided to write a post about a wonderful Romanian destination which I have visited several times – Sighisoara. This lovely town, placed in the very heart of Transylvania, hosts one of my favorite summer events: the Festival of Medieval Arts and Crafts, happening in Sighisoara each year in July. 

The event, one of the biggest medieval music festivals in Romania, shall take place between 27-29 July 2018. This year’s theme is “Medieval Legends”. So, if you do not have any plans for next weekend, you should visit Sighisoara, thus entering a world of stories, magic, knights, medieval weapons, sword plays and juggles with flags and fire.

Romanian tourism: Saxon villages from Transylvania

Romania has known a visible increase of the number of foreign visitors, as there are many touristic attractions my country is famous for. However, few foreign visitors know about the Transylvanian Saxon villages. Therefore, my first post dedicated to fabulous Romanian destinations worth a visit presents these charming Romanian villages.

Insula Samothraki – taramul capritelor si al peisajelor salbatice

De ce Samothraki?

Samothraki este una dintre insulele grecesti care a reusit sa isi pastreze aerul salbatic, in ciuda turistilor din ce in ce mai numerosi care au inceput sa afle despre existenta ei. Aflandu-se la doar 7 ore de condus din Bucuresti, nu este surprinzator ca majoritatea turistilor de pe insula sunt romani. Lor li se alatura vizitatori din Grecia, Bulgaria, Turcia si din Europa de Vest, toti atrasi de farmecul insulei si de peisajele sale fabuloase.

Samothrace is one of the Greek islands that has managed to keep its wild appearance, despite the fact that more and more tourists have found out about its existence and keep coming back here, attracted by its charm and fabulous landscapes.

Do You, Do You Saint Tropez?

When talking about Saint Tropez, certain themes come to mind. First of all, this is the place where the classic 1964 French comedy "The Troops of St. Tropez", with Louis de Funes as leading actor, has been filmed.
