The city of Cork, in South Ireland is a cool city known for its history, beaches, good food and fine coffee spots. We were in Cork for one summer day and we simply loved our time spent there.

We started our full day in Cork with a good breakfast and a coffee at this super nice place, Good Day Deli in the center of the city. Not only that the place is really nice, but they even serve healthy and organic food made with local products.

After breakfast, we took a walk along the River Lee and in FitzGerald Park, which is a nice popular place with walking paths, fountains and monuments.

We arrived at Cork City Gaol. It's a super interesting spot. It looks like a castle and it used to serve as prison until 1923. There are guided tour that you can book to learn more about the interestig history of the place.

We then had a short drive to visit Blarney Castle, a medieval stronghold, nor far from Cork. Once there, we had to climb a a narrow staircase to the top of the castle to and to this "magical" stone on top of it.

After the castle, we had a drive towards the historical town of Cobh. Situated in the south of Cork, on an island, in Cork's harbour, it is the Titanic's last port of call in 1912. I personally very much liked the view with the row of those cute colorful houses stretching up a steep street in Cobh. They are known as the Deck of Cards.

On the way back to Cork, we made one more stop, at Fota Wildlife Park. It's a nice green spot with animals from different parts of the world.

One Day in Cork

Lesbos is the third largest island of Greece. It has pretty much everything that tourists would seek, from historic sites, amazing coastline, beautiful towns and villages to mountain trails with wonderful landscapes. We arrived on the island by ferry.

We arrived in the beautiful island's capital of Mytilene. As we were approaching and set foot on the island, we were already in love with the place. Beautiful harbour surrounded by good looking houses, churches and cobbled streets filled with nice cafes and restaurants greeted us.

First of all we rented a car so we could properly explore the island. We visited Castle of Mytilene sitting up on a hill above the town and the harbour. The castle covers a large area and offers beautiful views over the island and across the sea to Turkey.

We settled in Petra village. It's a beautiful villages set around a sandy bay. The shoreline is filled with many cafes an nice tavernas. After we took a few steps on the streets of the village and along the bay, we spent the last part of the day at Petra Beach.

Today we checked some other spots of the island as well.

After a short drive from Petra, we arrived at Molyvos. We did not find many tourists while stolling on the streets of the village. There were only nice local people smiling and talking to us.

We reached Molivos Castle sitting beautifully on top of the village. It's a large impressive Byzantine Castle hiding within its walls an incredible amount of history. It was there during Venetian era, Catalan era, to the Genovese and the Ottoman period. There are magnificent views over the village and the sea from there.

After the hike to the castle and down, we went towards Eftalou hot springs. We bathed in the communal bath. The temperature of the water was pretty high, so we relaxed in the hot bath for a few munites before heading to the cold sea.

Back in Petra, we visited Panagia Glykofilousa Church, a remarcable church built on top of a rock

We spent the rest of the day at Paralia Tsichranta Beach. It's a quiet beach with clear waters and pebble beach. There are two lovely tavernas here as well. 

Leaving Petra, we checked a new spots on the island.

The name of the village comes from the words “safe” in Greek and Venetian and it reffers to the harbor that is very safe and can accommodate all sizes of vessels. In Sivri, we tried the food specialty horta, a type of spinach, boiled and served with salt and lemon. We really liked it.

The place is famous for the great sandy beach, where we relaxed for a while.

Skala Kallonis is a nice fishers’ place. We loved to watch the fishermen doing their business around the shore and the beautiful coloured boats there. We sat at a nice taverna and enjoyed the views and, of course, the food.

We returned to Mitilini, where we took the ferry from and left the beautiful island behind.

I had one day to explore the Scandinavian capital of Stockholm. At the end of the day, ,my feet were not very happy, but it was a great, spectacular day.

I started at Grona Lund, the amusement park in Stockholm because I have heard pretty much about it and I was curious. Actually I was not there especially for the fun, but for the the view you have from there. :)

Stortorget Square is an important square in Stockholm, part of Gamla Stan district. It used to be a square of fairs and festivals, now is a cute square with a vintage vibe.

The Old Town of Stockholm, called Gamla Stan, located on a few several islands in the middle of the town, has a medieval vibe, with its cobbled streets and colourful 17th and 18th century buildings. There are also chique bistros, old school pubs and cool spaces.

While in Stockholm, use their metro. The stations are real work of art, where a hundred artists decorated the space beautifully. 

Open air museum located in a green park, with beautiful sculptures and art gallery. You can feel a great vibe surrounding the place.
