visiting Rasiglia a town in Umbria built on water

Visiting Rasiglia – a few hours in this lovely town in Umbria.

Visiting Rasiglia can be a short, pleasant stop on the way to Tuscany. Tuscany is great for a weekend, but Umbria is also a beautiful region. That’s why, along the way, we stopped for a few hours in the town of Rasiglia in Umbria. This small village, with just 60 houses and 40 inhabitants, is nicknamed Little Venice, which I

Ludzie brodzący w wodzie na zalanej ulicy podczas święta A Chiena Campagna w Kampanii; niektórzy siedzą w kawiarniach, inni niosą niebieskie wiadra, a w tle widać stare kamienice i wieżę kościoła

A Chiena Campagna – 2 hours of unusual fun in Campania.

Water festival A Chiena is a party that transforms a rather sleepy small town in Campania into a vibrant and lively one. Campagna – that’s what we’re talking about here, or rather its old town, reminds me a lot of the Sanita district in Naples: peeling paint from the pretty buildings, narrow cobblestone streets,

Lazio

What to see near Rome – less known Lazio in 1 day.

Lazio is an incredibly popular region of Italy. The capital is, of course, the main attraction, attracting millions of tourists from around the world, but it’s not worth focusing solely on this city. What to see near Rome? There’s quite a bit to see: stunning landscapes, sea, food, history, culture – everything the average tourist can expect on holidays. Lazio

With a short visit in Benevento. Is it worth to visit it?

Benevento has a reputation for being very elegant and a very different city from the others in Campania.
I’m not really sure what does it means ‘ an elegant town’, therefore I’m not sure whether Benevento is elegant, but in my opinion is very Campanian. Actually it’s very Neapolitan, I felt as if I was in Naples’ suburbs, especially

Easy hikes in Campania: enjoying nature – part 2.

For the next day we planned 2 rather easy hikies in Campania. So we started Easter Sunday with breakfast and a trip to Grotte del Bussento in Morigerati.
The 600-hectare park supervised by the WWF (Oasi WWF) with a grotto and an old mill in the main role, spread around the canyon of the Busetto River, is a great

Hiking in Campania

Hiking in Campania – easy trails with beautiful views. Part 1.

Hiking in Campania is certainly not the first thing that comes to mind when hearing the name of this region. Campania is rather associated with the sea, Naples, or Costiera Amalfitana; yet Campania also has very beautiful mountains, lakes, rivers. And a lot of more or less cool hiking routes, great for a 2-3 day trip, e.g. at Easter, as

Pulsano Abbey - Low-rise building with multiple entrances and windows.

Pulsano Abbey in Gargano – why you should visit this interesting place.

Pulsano Abbey in Gargano is a place that may appeal to lovers of short hikes with a historical background. If you also like medieval churches, you should definitely visit the Abbey of Our Lady of Pulsano (Abbazia di Santa Maria di Pulsano).

I know, there are thousands of churches in Italy, so why bother with this one? Especially since the

Urbino na jeden dzień
Marche
gosia

Beautiful Urbino – 1 day in the Renaissance jewel of Marche.

If the beautiful Renaissance Urbino were in Tuscany, it would probably be swarming with tourists. But it is in the Marche, on the wrong side of the Apennines. It is also not the easiest accessible place, you can’t get there by train or plane, so it is still relatively free of crowds.
I hope it stays that way, even

Adorable Path of the Lemons in Amalfi Coast – what to expect on this trail.

Path of the Lemons or Sentiero dei Limoni, was not a particularly popular place among holidaymakers on the Amalfi Coast just a few years ago. As I recently had the opportunity to see, this is changing – there were quite a few people on the route.

Costiera Amalfitana is one of the most picturesque places in Italy, offering stunning seaside

Gravina di Ginosa – how to visit prehistoric cave houses.

Gravina di Ginosa is the main attraction of Ginosa – a town located on the border of Puglia and Basilicata. Ginosa is famous for its antiquity and the canyon, Gravina di Ginosa.
In the town, founded around 1500 BC (the exact date is unknown), traces of human activity from the Neolithic period have been found. Additionally, the Greeks, Romans,
