My home town of Vagnhärad usually comes with few new surprises. We have spent some time here on the Swedish countryside because of the coronavirus and this time I did, however, notice something that was new. By accident, I found a new walking trail – Vagnhärad Runt. It has probably […]
One of the joys in life is browsing possible destinations for your next weekend getaway. And it’s even better when a cheap flights pop up to a country you haven’t visited before, to a city you have barely heard of. That is what happened to us a few months back […]

My father turned 60 in the fall and we had discussed a trip for about a year. It took us ages to decide whether we’d travel with my parents only or if the whole family would join. In the end, we all joined them down to Vlycha Beach on Rhodes […]

Only a 25 minutes drive from Lindos is the small village of Asklipio. Well-hidden in the mountains this village houses one of the more impressive castle ruins on the island, the Castle of Asklipio. There’s also the added perk of enjoying the spectacular view all the way back to the […]
Visiting Rhodes usually means spending a lot of time along its coastline. But what is inland? We opted for a short road trip to find out. We were going to head towards the island’s highest peak, Attavyros, at 1215 meters above the sea. That is how we ended up in […]
