Another gem of Santorini, Pyrgos, offers a quieter and more traditional alternative to Oia.
This hilltop village, crowned by a medieval fortress, is a labyrinth of cobblestone alleys and charming Cycladic architecture. The panoramic vistas from Pyrgos are equally stunning, providing a serene setting to enjoy a leisurely afternoon stroll. Don’t forget to sample local wines in one of the many family-run wineries dotting the village.
The Italian Dolomites are home to some of the most arresting mountains, valleys, and lakes in the European Alps. At every turn, you’ll be bewitched by the craggy peaks, velvet-like meadows, and thrilling mountain passes that define this sub-range of the Southern Limestone Alps. Visit the Dolomites and your days will be filled with unforgettable “am I dreaming?” moments. From the spectacular scenery and hiking trails to the charming mountainside huts and excellent hotels, the Dolomites will exceed your expectations (in every possible way).
