Georgia’s Wild Caucasus

Georgia sits at the meeting point of Europe and Asia, in the southern folds of the Caucasus Mountains between the Black Sea and the peaks that mark the border with Russia. It is a small country, roughly the size of Ireland, but it holds a great deal within its borders: high alpine valleys, subtropical coast, ancient churches cut from stone, and one of the oldest living wine traditions on Earth. People have made wine here for around 8,000 years, and they still do it much as their ancestors did, in clay vessels buried in the ground.

Around the World

Dingli Cliffs

Dingli Cliffs are the highest natural point in Malta, with an altitude of approximately 253 meters above sea level.

Golden Bay

Is known in Maltese as ‘Ir-Ramla tal-Mixquqa,’ meaning ‘The Sandy Bay of the Cracked (promontory)’. The beach is surrounded by natural dunes and jagged cliffs, topped with a 17th-century watchtower built by the Knights of Malta.

A Cathedral Like No Other

Built by the Order of St John, this church is one of Tripadvisor’s Top 25 Attractions in Europe and has “the most beautiful floor in the world” consisting of more than 400 marble tomb slabs.

Welcome to Blue Lagoon

Malta is a marvelous country with loads of things to offer, all in a very small area. Blue Lagoon is one of Malta‘s top jewels and anyone who visits the Islands will want to explore it.

How to Spend a Day in Valletta

Built by the Knights of St John in the 16th century, Valletta retains much of its time-worn charm, with narrow streets leading between honey-coloured buildings, and glimpses of the Mediterranean never far from view.

Norway’s Western Fjords

Western Norway sits along the country’s Atlantic edge, where a coastline of islands, inlets, and long sea-arms reaches far inland between high mountains. These sea-arms are the fjords: deep channels carved by glaciers over many thousands of years, then filled by the sea when the ice retreated. The result is a landscape of steep rock walls, waterfalls, and small farms set on narrow shelves of green. This is one of the clearest examples anywhere of how ice shapes a country, and it has drawn travellers for well over a century.
