Montenegro: The Hidden Adriatic

Montenegro is a stunning destination in the heart of the Balkans, offering a mix of rugged mountains, turquoise seas, and charming historic towns. The Bay of Kotor, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is famous for its medieval streets and breathtaking scenery. Adventurers can explore the Tara Canyon, one of the deepest in Europe, perfect for rafting and hiking. Montenegro’s national parks, including Durmitor and Biogradska Gora, showcase pristine landscapes and abundant wildlife. Coastal towns like Budva and Ada Bojana offer golden beaches, lively nightlife, and fresh seafood delights

The Great British Day Out from London

London is an exciting city, but if you have extra time, there are great places to explore just a short journey away. Whether you’re interested in history, nature, or a fun day out, there are many options for an easy trip from the capital.

You could visit Windsor, home to Windsor Castle, where the King sometimes stays. It’s about 30 minutes from London by train. Oxford is another great choice, known for its famous university and beautiful old buildings. It takes about an hour by train. If you love history, Stonehenge is a must-see. You can get there in under two hours by car or join a tour

Around the World

Medieval Charm by the Bay

Kotor, Montenegro, is a captivating blend of medieval charm and natural beauty, nestled along the Bay of Kotor. The UNESCO-listed Old Town invites exploration with its cobblestone streets, Romanesque and Venetian architecture, and landmarks like St. Tryphon’s Cathedral and the Maritime Museum

The Cathedral of Saint Tryphon

The Cathedral of Saint Tryphon, also locally known as Katedrala Svetog Tripuna, is a Roman Catholic cathedral which is located in the heart of the city of Kotor, which is part of the Coastal Region in the western part of the Balkan nation of Montenegro

The Maritime Museum

The Maritime Museum of Montenegro in Kotor has grown out of the collection founded by the “Boka Marine” Fraternity, around the year 1880 and opened to public in 1900. It gradually enlarged and in 1938, it was re-arranged and opened to visitors on the first floor of the present Museum building

St John Castle

St John Castle is a historic fortress located in the coastal town of Kotor, Montenegro. This castle was built by the Republic of Venice in the 16th century as a defensive stronghold against Ottoman attacks

Port of Kotor

Kotor was first mentioned as a port in historical documents in the second half of the 12th century. In mid-19th century, regular passenger traffic was carried out by steamboats between Kotor and other ports on the Adriatic

The Untamed Isle of Corsica

Corsica, the “Island of Beauty,” lies in the heart of the Mediterranean, just south of mainland France and west of Italy. Though French by nationality, its spirit feels distinct—shaped by centuries of Italian influence, mountain traditions, and fierce local pride. The island’s terrain is astonishingly varied: golden beaches and turquoise coves line the coast, while forested peaks and granite ridges rise dramatically inland
