Most places close from about October to April, so ask whether restaurants are open before you plan a winter dinner. Start the day in the water At first light the...

Go in the morning or late afternoon, wear sturdy shoes and carry water. Beni Isguen with a guide A guide is required. Meet at the guides’ office by the East Gate, remembering that hours differ across the year and are...

Ghardaïa is a place for couples who value calm over spectacle. There are no wine lists, no rooftop bars and no champagne, because alcohol is not served in the valley. The ksour are places of daily worship, so they are not set dressing for staged photographs. What remains is unhurried time among palms, stone lanes and open desert sky. This is a short page, and it says only what is genuinely...

Before choosing a day trip in Crete, look at the clock rather than the map. The island is 260 km from end to end, and roads into the mountains are slow. The table gives each trip’s home base, travel time and what you pay at the gate. Costs are in euros and mostly come from the official Hellenic Heritage pages for state sites. Boat and bus fares are approximate, so check them before you book.

Lindos is a place people travel to, not a hub they travel from. It lies about 50 km south of Rhodes Town at the end of the east coast road, and the village, its beaches and its Acropolis keep most visitors busy for a full day or two. Excursions do exist, but each one involves a long journey, so choose one or two rather than trying to do them all. Costs are in euros.

A short stay in Ghardaïa Province works well over 2 or 3 days. That is long enough to cover the five ksour, the market and the palm groves, and short enough to avoid wearing out on the stepped lanes.

Ghardaïa is not on the Great South visa-on-arrival list, so lodge a standard visa application at an...

Geghard is a monastery carved into a cliff above the Azat River, and a visit mostly means moving slowly through stone rooms, listening and looking.

As of October 2026 the FCDO warns against travel in the 5 km strip along Armenia’s eastern border with Azerbaijan and on the M16/H26 road linking Ijevan and...

This is a devout, old inland city rather than a resort. It has no seafront, no cocktail bars and no beach clubs. What it has is an atmospheric medina, warm morning light, good pastry and a few places to stay that feel a long way from the coast. For many couples it works best as one or two nights on a wider Tunisian trip. A guesthouse in the old city Dar Hassine Allani sits on Rue El Khadraouine...

Both the US State Department and the UK Foreign Office publish current Tunisia advice, and you should read each before you commit to dates.
