Europe

Every year, some four million tourists flock to the Greek islands of Santorini and Mykonos (two mil to each), which is quite astonishing given that the holiday season here only runs from April until the end of October. While Santorini’s cliff-hugging, whitewashed villages, blue-domed churches and windmills are, admittedly, as spectacular as the nightlife in Mykonos is steamy, there are plenty of other islands worth visiting…in blissful isolation.

The EU has been busy cooking up a fresh visa so pay close attention.

It’s no secret it’s super expensive to eat out in Copenhagen. So, we thought it was necessary to list some of our favourite cafés, so you can spend your dollar (or krone) wisely and avoid food regret on your travels. You’re welcome.

Scrap Ibizia, you’re staying in Belle Époque royalty.

Remember the days when we could all plan European holidays with wild abandon? When a simple Google search for Cinque Terre would fill you with excitement and wanderlust rather than dread and disappointment? 

You’d be kidding yourself if you said you weren’t interested in seeing the Aurora Borealis in all its magnificence. There are several ways to realise that dream, but one of the easiest, and more pleasant, is to book yourself in at one of the completely transparent Buubble Hotels in Iceland.

Island life if the best kind of life but there are only so many times you can go to the Greek islands before you realise there’s more to life than lamb gyros on the beach. Hard to believe but true, we promise. 

I’m sure you knew this, but just in case you need reminding, Amsterdam is the greatest city in the whole damn world. Grab your bags, your can-do attitude, and don’t bloody worry about being tired. You can sleep later.
