A comprehensive guide to Milos' beaches that can be reached from the mainland and some tips on how best to enjoy them
Serifos is among the lesser-known Cycladic islands, but just watching a sunset among its rugged heights or from the churches of the Chora is enough to be left enchanted. We fell hopelessly in love with it.
The small island of Sifnos is a modest version of the Cyclades for a quiet, food-focused trip. Sifnos smells of eucalyptus. Every gust of wind mixes the smell of freshly baked cookies with that of fig leaves. Every nook and cranny is cloaked in caper plants with their round green leaves and white flowers.
A comprehensive guide to all the beaches on the island. Our recommendations, and those of the locals, to please every taste and need.
Everything you need to know about this corner of the world, practical information for getting around and staying, places not to miss, and our travel tips.

Fine sandy beaches are few and far between, but the sea is beautiful everywhere, offering sometimes mild beaches with crystal clear water, and other rough waters rippled by the winds of a deep and magnificent blue.
Greek cuisine with some Italian influence of colonial memory, what more could you want.
A breathtaking view welcomes you as you arrive from the harbour, which unfolds into a sweeping inlet dominated by a drape of white houses and eight perfectly maintained mills, pitted like red-and-white pearls.
A short journey through the gourmet refuges of the Dolomites, where you can take a break between a trek and a ski slope for a steaming plate of canederli.
Whether they are soft, leavened Finnish Kanelbulls, sinful Danish Kanelsnegle, covered with sticky frosting, or swirling Swedish Skillingsbollers, the concept is the same, a soft brioche with a drop-dead cinnamon scent.
Okay, to fall in love with Norway, you only need to drive through it and enjoy its magnificent views. But if you have the energy to sling on your backpack, perhaps a tent, and hike its trails, you will have priceless rewards.

Between rugged mountains and bays with the whitest sands, hiking in Lofoten will leave you breathless. The views are incredible, the mountains alternate with the sea, the wild with picturesque villages.
It seems like a surreal place, with the roads bouncing over the islets one viaduct after another, the expanses of stockfish on the rocks, the little red or yellow wooden houses that look like they were drawn by a fairy tale illustrator.

Our campervan wanderings have taken us along endless roads that wind through perennial ice, windswept heaths, skirting dizzying fjords or climbing there in tight turns.
Here is what to expect from a trip to Norway and the places to best enjoy all its facets.
