Could this be Croatia’s most beautiful island? This is Korcula, a beautiful island located in the Adriatic, roughly between Split and Dubrovnik (and makes the perfect stop between both). Famous for its wine, a stunning, walled old town that rivals Dubrovnik and irresistibly blue coves perfect for swimming. Would you consider visiting? #korcula #korčula #croatiatravel #croatiafullofmagic #croatiaislands #slowtravel #cntraveler #damestravel #mytinyatlas #mediterranean #mediterraneansummer

Il Palazzotto Matera @ilpalazzottomatera is the kind of place that makes you slow down in the best way possible. Tucked away into the quiet side of the Sassi it blends centuries of history with thoughtful design and a dose of low-key luxury. Staying here is the ultimate cave hotel experience in Matera without giving up any comforts. Suites are serene and stylish and the house wines are genuinely excellent, and dinner at their wine bistrot @radinowine -set in a former church- was easily one of the most memorable meals of my trip. This is Matera at its most intimate and refined. a d Scroll to the end for the most insane tub situation. 🤯 #materaitaly #matera #materainside #sassidimatera #ilpalazzottomatera #radinowine #basilicataturistica #basilicata #volgobasilicata

Just a quick hop from Dubrovnik or Zadar, this Croatian city is a must on any Adriatic adventure. Welcome to Split- where ancient Roman history meets palm-lined promenades, fresh seafood, and island-hopping dreams. It’s the perfect place to rent a car, explore the coastline and soak up that iconic Mediterranean magic beyond the usual tourist trail. Once you’ve done that, board a ferry and head out to the dreamy islands of Hvar, Brac or Vis to complete your trip. All Split guides are a little overdue but now live on roamandthrive.com #splitcroatia #split #splitcroatia🇭🇷 #croatiatravel #croatiatrip #croatiaphotography #croatiaphotos

48 Hours in Matera, Italy: A Two-Day Itinerary After three visits to Matera, I like to think I’ve now crafted the perfect stay in the city. Here’s my itinerary for spending two days in the sassi city. SAVE it to steal it later. 📩 Day 1 * Stroll through Sasso Barisano, the quieter of the two main cave districts * Take in the panoramic view from Belvedere Luigi Guerricchio * Step inside Casa Grotta to see how families once lived in the caves * Visit the frescoed rock churches of Santa Lucia alle Malve and San Pietro Barisano * Lunch at Baccanti, a contemporary spot serving innovative Lucanian dishes * Descend into Palombaro Lungo, the city’s vast underground cistern * Sunset over the ravine from Belvedere di Murgia Timone * Dinner at Vitantonio Lombardo @vitantoniolombardoristorante a Michelin-starred cave restaurant Day 2 * Watch the sunrise from Belvedere Piazzetta Pascoli, where the light softly touches the stones * Begin in Sasso Caveoso, the wilder and more dramatic cave quarter * Walk to Piazza San Pietro Caveoso for canyon views * Hike the trail to Murgia Materana, dotted with ancient cave chapels * Lunch at Trattoria del Caveoso, rustic and always reliable. * Explore MUSMA, Italy’s only underground sculpture museum * Aperitivo at Area 8, part bar, part creative space, all local cool * Dinner at Radino Wine Bistrot @radinowine a chic, intimate spot with an extensive local wine list #matera #materaitaly #materainside #basilicataturistica #basilicataphotos #basilicatadascoprire

Il Palazzotto Matera @ilpalazzottomatera is the kind of place that makes you slow down in the best way possible. Tucked away into the quiet side of the Sassi it blends centuries of history with thoughtful design and a dose of low-key luxury. Staying here is the ultimate cave hotel experience in Matera without giving up any comforts. Suites are serene and stylish and the house wines are genuinely excellent, and dinner at their wine bistrot @radinowine -set in a former church- was easily one of the most memorable meals of my trip.

Just a quick hop from Dubrovnik or Zadar, this Croatian city is a must on any Adriatic adventure. Welcome to Split- where ancient Roman history meets palm-lined promenades, fresh seafood, and island-hopping dreams. It’s the perfect place to rent a car, explore the coastline and soak up that iconic Mediterranean magic beyond the usual tourist trail. Once you’ve done that, board a ferry and head out to the dreamy islands of Hvar, Brac or Vis to complete your trip. All Split guides are a little overdue but now live on roamandthrive.com #splitcroatia #split #splitcroatia🇭🇷 #croatiatravel #croatiatrip #croatiaphotography #croatiaphotos

48 Hours in Matera, Italy: A Two-Day Itinerary After three visits to Matera, I like to think I’ve now crafted the perfect stay in the city. Here’s my itinerary for spending two days in the sassi city. SAVE it to steal it later. 📩 Day 1 * Stroll through Sasso Barisano, the quieter of the two main cave districts * Take in the panoramic view from Belvedere Luigi Guerricchio * Step inside Casa Grotta to see how families once lived in the caves * Visit the frescoed rock churches of Santa Lucia alle Malve and San Pietro Barisano * Lunch at Baccanti, a contemporary spot serving innovative Lucanian dishes * Descend into Palombaro Lungo, the city’s vast underground cistern * Sunset over the ravine from Belvedere di Murgia Timone * Dinner at Vitantonio Lombardo @vitantoniolombardoristorante a Michelin-starred cave restaurant Day 2 * Watch the sunrise from Belvedere Piazzetta Pascoli, where the light softly touches the stones * Begin in Sasso Caveoso, the wilder and more dramatic cave quarter * Walk to Piazza San Pietro Caveoso for canyon views * Hike the trail to Murgia Materana, dotted with ancient cave chapels * Lunch at Trattoria del Caveoso, rustic and always reliable. * Explore MUSMA, Italy’s only underground sculpture museum * Aperitivo at Area 8, part bar, part creative space, all local cool * Dinner at Radino Wine Bistrot @radinowine a chic, intimate spot with an extensive local wine list #matera #materaitaly #materainside #basilicataturistica #basilicataphotos #basilicatadascoprire
