A short city break to Athens filled with history, rooftop views, and unforgettable moments at the Acropolis, plus classic Greek meals and easy travel using only the metro and walking.
This trip was never meant to happen. After my flights to Jordan were cancelled, I found myself heading to Belgrade with no real expectations. What followed was a journey through lively streets, quiet monasteries, and some of the most striking landscapes in Serbia.
I spent an unforgettable afternoon driving from Paphos to Larnaca, stopping at Paphos Castle, Aphrodite’s Beach, Kolossi Castle, Lemesos Castle, and Larnaka Medieval Fort. The combination of dramatic coastlines, historic sites, and charming streets gave a perfect introduction to southern Cyprus before I reached my hotel in the evening.
Nestled at the foot of the Greater Caucasus, Sheki offered two days of cobbled streets, historic palaces, and local crafts. From the glowing stained-glass windows of the Sheki Khans’ Palace to quiet mountain views, the town revealed a peaceful, timeless side of Azerbaijan.
Baku’s windswept shoreline, the quiet alleys of the Old City and the snowy foothills around Sheki came together in a journey that revealed the many sides of Azerbaijan. From modern landmarks to historic caravanserais, the country offered a blend of culture, scenery and winter atmosphere that felt both distinctive and welcoming.
Travelling from the shores of the Caspian to the snowy Caucasus, a week in Azerbaijan offered a glimpse of a country balancing modern ambition with deep-rooted tradition. For a Maltese visitor, it proved both unfamiliar and oddly relatable — a land where fire still burns from the ground, tea is shared with strangers, and the road between Baku and Sheki feels like a journey across worlds.
From the warmth of Malta to the cool calm of eastern Poland, a weekend in Lublin offers a quiet escape filled with history, charm, and authenticity — perfect for travellers who want something off the usual path.
Herceg Novi may be a short stop on your Montenegro road trip, but even a couple of hours here is enough to explore its hillside old town, enjoy sweeping bay views, and soak up the town’s colourful, lived-in charm.
