馃 The First Day in Palermo - Arrival and First Discoveries by
@sararossiHello friends. Today I wanted to tell you about our trip from mainland Italy to the island of Sicily, specifically to the city of Palermo. The first to arrive on these lands were the Phoenicians. They saw the bay, the mountains that seemingly embrace it and two roaring rivers feeding the valley. The Phoenicians founded a city here and named it Zis, meaning flower. The Ancient Greeks called it Panormus, meaning all port. This is a land that can be approached from any point along the coast, welcoming all travelers into its embrace. A flower city, a port city. Beautiful, bright and utterly mesmerizing. This city knows no peace. Here an endless struggle for land, power and influence takes place. Peoples and cultures succeed one another. After the Phoenicians and Greeks come the Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Normans, Swabians, Aragonians, Spaniards and Garibaldians. In the 20th century Palermo became one of the main centers of the Sicilian mafia, Cosa Nostra. And all of this is just a few pages of the city's complex and multi layered history. Today Palermo is the fifth most populous city in Italy. With a population of around 630000, this city is the capital of the island and region of Sicily, one of the greatest centers of the Italian Baroque style and a true gastronomic capital of Italy. Colorful and fascinating, Palermo is the perfect city to start exploring the Italian island of Sicily.

馃 My Trips to Bodrum and Ku艧adas谋 - Turkey by
@ellie-maiHello my friends. After my Marmaris trip I moved on to Bodrum. Today, I will tell you about Bodrum鈥檚 old town, its castle, its sea and how much all of this cost. As soon as I arrived, I went out for a walk to explore and get to know this popular city. I started to like the city at first sight because it has its own unique, special architectural style. Tiny snow-white houses are everywhere. Both homes and official buildings are like this. In other words the entire city consists of white houses and it looks really beautiful.

馃 Prague, Czech Republic .:. Where the History is Written on the Streets by
@ph1102What was the main idea of this trip? I have the weird custom of trying to be the most effective in everything I do (I do fail many times... 馃槀)... As we don't have too much free time to do trips, when we do them, the idea is to see as many things as possible, or destinations... So, for this one, we had the next itinerary: landing in Prague on November 10th, checking the city... As the train trip to Graz in the spring last year was fantastic, the idea was to get to Krakow by train... There were no direct trains, so we decided to make 1 stop somewhere on the way to Poland...
