From 12 to 20 hours on average a person spends planning a trip! This time can easily double if you're researching a new and unfamiliar destination and take up to 40 hours depending on a type of a journey - says recent research.

Anafiotika - a password to a beautiful walk in Athens. This is a small neighborhood in famous Plaka district, that charmes by its winding streets and architecture of famous Greek islands.

Unique in every aspect, the Cycladic neighborhood of Anafiotika was built by craftsmen and workers from the island of Anafi when they arrived in Athens after the liberation of the city.
The tiny white houses among the rocks, hidden stairs, gardens with the colorful flowers and cacti, the narrow alleys and the mazy planning are very much alike to the style found in The Cyclades.

The most colorful of all the islands of Venice, Burano has become famous as a center for lace making and cute houses.
The name of the island - Burano - comes from the word Boreana, the district or gate to the city of Altino. The first houses made of bricks were built around the year 1000, until that time, houses were made on piles, and the walls and ceilings were made of clay.

By the way - why are the houses on the island of Burano painted so brightly?
The fact is that the tourists from Venice always went to visit Murano - for its glass arts and crafts. But tourists did not go to Burano as lace was not enough to attract tourists. At some point, authorities realised that it was necessary to make the town appealing, so they decided to give it a new fresher and brighter look, so the decision was made - to color houses. It worked. All tones of rainbow can be found on the streets of Burano.

The scarf I bought in Venice really matches the vibe here!

Beaches of Cuba are marvellous, form every aspect. They are clean, almsots empty, white sand and turquoise water add the magic to the atmosphere. You don’t need to stay in resort to embrace this beauty.

However, if you are going to visit Cuba you have to know that Booking.com is not available there, so the perfect way is to rent an apartment on Airbnb, that how you get the true impression of a local life. Which is very different from western world. While some goods are available, there are so many things that are hard to get in Cuba.

We would also suggest you bringing something nice to your hosts in Cuba from wherever you are, they will be happy - some simple things as candles would be a perfect souvenir.

Do you know the difference between Pastéis de Nata and Pastéis de Belem?

Pastéis - a magical word, if you’ve ever been to Portugal and tried these delicious tarts, the whole trip flashes before your eyes hearing this word.

However, it might be confusing how to call this pastry correctly, so let’s figure it out!

It is known that these cakes were invented a long time ago by two sisters from the monastery of Mosteiro do Jerónim, which is not far from Lisbon. In those days, monasteries used egg whites to carefully starch the nuns' clothes, and the remaining yolks were used to make cakes, pies, and pastries. At that time, those little custard cakes were called Pasteis de Belem, because of the location of the monastery in the city of Belem.

The recipe was kept secret for a very long time until Portugal's revolution in the 1820s when many monasteries began to close. In order to get at least some income, the nuns of the Jeronimos monastery began selling their pasteis at a nearby sugar factory. However, in 1837 the monastery was closed, and the owners of the factory bought the recipe for cakes.

The most interesting thing is that this factory produces pastéis cakes to this day. Despite the fact that pastéis-de-nata can be tasted in any Portuguese city, the most real, original, and famous cakes are made in the factory called Pasteis de Belem. This area, which can be reached by a vintage tram, is a must-see part of Lisbon for the famous patisserie.

Pasteis-de-nata is the name of this delicious pastry throughout the whole country, each region of Portugal and each baker has its own way of tweaking the original recipe, but the egg filling and flaky crust are the desired outcome from everyone.

Save the location, this delicious dessert is already a reason to visit Portugal!

Seville deserves attention. Any time of the year is perfect to visit the capital of Andalucia. There are many attractions in Seville that you are sure to enjoy: buildings with a rich history, interesting neighborhoods full of life, flamenco performances, delicious tapas, modern and traditional architecture, and unforgettable city atmosphere!

The Metropol Parasol (on the photo) is a controversial symbol of Seville. The giant canopy, designed by German architect Jürgen Mayer, is said to be the world's largest wooden structure. The Metropol Parasol is really impressive for its size and appearance - umbrella-shaped columns 30 m high and a wave-shaped roof in the form of honeycombs is called Las Setas (The Mushrooms) by locals.

The underground level (Level 0) houses the Antiquarium, where Roman and Moorish remains discovered on site are displayed in a museum.

Level 1 (street level) is the Central Market. The roof of Level 1 is the surface of the open-air public plaza, shaded by the wooden parasols above and designed for public events.

Levels 2 and 3 are the two stages of the panoramic terraces (including a restaurant), offering a view of the city centre.

The Metropol Parasol curved roof is one of the best places to watch beautiful sunsets in Seville.
