1st Anniversary of Lenas Around the Globe!

February 19, 2020 by Milena No Comments

Milena, I’m not sure if that’s a good idea. – I sighed full of doubts. – But do we have anything to loose?
Treat it as a specific kind of a diary. This way we won’t forget our impressions and we will have a lot of memories to read through & remember. And if it becomes more than that? It can only get better. – Milena was, successfully, convincing me. In the majority of the matters we have always been compatible and overall we went through a lot together, her ideas never let me down one way or the other.

Where to stay in Venice?

February 7, 2020 by Milena No Comments

Venice is without any doubt a wonderful place and everyone should visit it at least once in their life. The “floating” city is definitely different than any other place in the world thanks to its charming canals. Deciding on the right place to stay though can be pretty difficult, since the locations can be pretty tricky to reach with any transport. (Long walks with heavy bags are not ideal – I suggest travelling to Venice with hand luggage only).

Argostoli, a place you’re yet to discover

December 27, 2019 by Milena No Comments

Every year or two, you can see a trend to visit a particular vacation destination surfacing on social media. You suddenly see everyone posting pictures from Santorini, now everyone seems to be in Cappadoccia, or your feed is flooded with pictures from Rome. You know it very well, don’t you? The places that are overly-hyped over a determined period, are usually also overcrowded and overpriced. And while they are definitely worth visiting for sure, there are also a lot of places that are even more beautiful than them and, surprisingly, not yet “discovered” by the masses. If you take your time to “dig in”, you can find a lot of wonderful, charming places that you will be able to enjoy in tranquillity, without crowds bumping on you.
