The Historic Fishing Village of Procida

Located on the waterfront of the island of Procida, Marina Corricella is the oldest fishing village on the island and one of its most captivating sights. Built like an amphitheatre overlooking the sea, this colourful harbour is famous for its pastel-painted houses, narrow lanes, historic architecture and peaceful atmosphere. With no vehicle traffic, visitors can wander through its picturesque stairways and waterfront paths while enjoying stunning views across the Bay of Naples. The village remains a working fishing community, where traditional boats, fishing nets and authentic island life create an unforgettable setting. Whether you are seeking beautiful photography spots, waterfront dining or a glimpse of Procida’s rich maritime heritage, Marina Corricella offers a truly authentic Mediterranean experience

Island-Hopping Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast

Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast stretches more than 350 kilometres along the eastern shore of the Adriatic Sea, from Zadar in the north to Dubrovnik in the south. Between the mainland and the open water lie more than a thousand islands, though fewer than fifty are permanently inhabited. The largest and most visited sit in a loose chain south of Split, connected by a reliable network of state-run ferries and private catamarans that have carried locals and travellers between them for decades

Five Train Journeys Through the Heart of the Alps

There are few countries in the world where the train itself becomes the main attraction. Switzerland is one of them. Across a nation roughly the size of the Netherlands, more than 5,000 kilometres of railway track thread through valleys, climb mountain passes, cross stone viaducts built over a century ago, and deliver passengers to stations that sit above the clouds. The Swiss rail network is not simply a way to get between cities. It is, by design and by tradition, one of the finest travel experiences on the continent
