WHY do we travel?
So, why do we travel? Not in the sense of the holiday itself – with it all is clear. Namely, why so anxious to go from home as far as possible, in search of the unknown? This is a question I've asked more than once, and now, after analyzing all your trips, try to find out what attracts me in the journey? And no less interesting question: what I have on every trip? The answer is simple – I'm different; at sea or in the mountains, in a European capital or on the island I each time be different, adapting to the world around me and trying to get the most out of your stay. In Turkey, I also different from the lazy beach doing nothing until the frantic activity with a fair share of adventurism. No wonder Turkey has always attracted tourists from all over the world, it is possible to choose the holiday that suits You. And the all-inclusive and landscaping of hotels eliminates the need to strain – for all You have planned and it's perfect! After the fussy, stuffy city to be on the beach – what could be better! This was my first trip to this wonderful country.

But the second visit to Turkey was thoroughly planned and was limited to the knowledge of the country not as a resort, and its rich history, culture and amazing mountain landscapes. For example, a visit to Cappadocia in a rented car certainly was an adventure, but allowed you to fully explore non-touristic Turkey.
And in this trip I was active and bold, I wanted to do a beach vacation as new experiences and knowledge. Climb to the top of the fortress in Alanya or take a walk on the ancient side.
Here with Egypt somehow did not work, but it has played a role in certain circumstances. For example, very short daylight hours (the trip was in mid-November), which left no space for imagination – it was getting dark already at 4 PM. But overall, the holiday was a success, after all, lived up to its name home and not travel. Tender sun, warm sea with exotic and beautiful fish and coral, half-empty hotel and plenty of fresh fruit allowed to "dilute" the gloomy Moscow Nov bright colors!
In Cyprus, I fell in love once and forever, and how else? Gorgeous, very beautiful island with a rich and sad history, can he leave someone indifferent?
In Cyprus it was very difficult to break away from the sea, such a kind and bright blue, with soft white sand and beautiful caves... But had, for two weeks we toured all of it in every possible way - on foot:
- by coach:
No less vivid impression made on me the Greek island of Crete. The crystal-clear sea with a bluish green clear water, long sandy beaches and a variety of mountain landscapes in the whole of Greece.
In Santorini
Serpentines in the mountains did not give relax for a second, but for these types of cost risk:
Cozy Greek village, good food, sea, sun, positive attitude and a journey to Crete memorable!
The experience of visiting Crete was so bright that I decided to continue the acquaintance with Greece, and went to the island of Zakynthos. They really are heaven on earth! Whatever the place, the stunning beauty of the beaches, coves, bays, cliffs, islets, you can continue indefinitely!
Zakynthos allowed to become herself, this mixture of calm and excitement I felt, perhaps, only in Prague... And a little bit of Greek Zakynthos:
That's probably why I like to alternate the beach rest with excursions to quietly get acquainted with the world and myself. And the European capitals allow it in full. For Example, Prague. I have it both times it turned out winter, but so emotional! Really want to visit the city of a hundred spires in late spring or summer to see the fountains and flowering gardens, enjoy Czech cuisine at the verandah, summer cafe, stroll along the Vltava river and not watching the clock like in the winter...
Or Budapest, nestled on both banks of the Danube, breathtaking in its beauty, with its cobbled streets and picturesque colored houses, the Royal Palace and Fisherman's Bastion...
Can't ignore the capital of Austria – Vienna is beautiful and unique, truly the pearl of Europe. How would like to walk on the summer the city to feed the ducks and pigeons in a city Park, to ride around town in a carriage to see the Belvedere Palace with its famous fountains and flower beds... Oh yeah, Wiener schnitzel has not been canceled:))
And this is only the third part of my travels.
Of course, we all depend on circumstances, but the success of the journey 90% of our own merit. Don't be afraid to take risks (within reason, of course, limits), open towards new and interesting, and then You will long remember the trip with a smile and a surprise!
So choose what will be Your journey and share your observations!!!
