Cabo da Roca: TripTemptation Visited The Edge Of The World

Less than an hour from Lisbon there is a famous place: Cabo da Roca.... or the most westerly point in Europe. People who lived here (right up to the 14th century) believed it was the edge of the world. We could not miss it, and it turned out to be absolutely worth visiting.

This enchanted place is very quiet and peaceful. Especially in winter. One can find here nothing.... just the light house, a small coffee shop and a gift shop. And of course unique nature.... the real paradise for photographers.

Usually tourists spend 20-30 minutes here. We have done all the trails and discovered the hidden corners of the most mysterious place in Europe. And for certain we recommend visiting it.

  • Langkawi is located just 30 kilometers off the northwest coast of the Malay Peninsula. It is a beautiful archipelago of 104 islands, surrounded by the emerald waters of the Andaman Sea. Some of the islands are inhabited, but some are just like bare rocks sitting in the sea during high tides.

  • Santorini. The most picturesque and romantic island in the world. It has such a special atmosphere that you just forget about everything and are afraid to put down your camera for fear of missing a good shot. With multi-coloured cliffs soaring above a sea-drenched caldera and cute white Cycladic houses, Santorini looks like a giant slice of layered cake.

  • This family-oriented resort, with its Kids' Explorer Club and Core Zone Teen Club, and huge free-form pool that stretches from the lobby to the beach, is the ideal place for beach holidays in Bávaro in the Dominican Republic. We would recommend it to people who want to have fun and are not seeking complete privacy and relaxation.

  • Hawaii sounds like a paradise. Everyone has heard of them but not many people have been there. Especially from Europe. But I was lucky enough to have an opportunity to visit this magical place and have to admit - it far exceeded my expectations.

  • When choosing a hotel in Gran Canaria, this time we thought we’d opt for the island’s first Design Hotel – the award-winning Hotel Palm Beach. Luxury is standard here and can be experienced in every aspect of the hotel’s design and service. As the owner, Theo Gerlach, says: "You have to offer guests what you yourself expect from a hotel" - and we certainly felt that sentiment during our stay here.

  • I’d never heard about Benidorm until I actually went there; and now I am absolutely in love with it. Being the main tourist destination along Costa Blanca, it is completely different from other popular resort towns along the Mediterranean Sea coast of Spain. It has it all: traces of traditional Spain, combined with bar-lined promenades along beautiful and clean beaches, and a lively nightlife.

I still remember my first trip. It was to London. I fell in love with this city the moment I saw it. Just - "click", and my heartbeat quickened. I was chosen by it. Red and funny double-decker buses, serious black cabs, the gorgeous Buckingham palace... That's it! I am your admirer forever! From that moment I have visited many places and have been to many countries. Traveling became my passion. My long lasting love, which I hope will never end.
