Positano

The entire stretch of the coastline of the Amalfi Coast, which runs from Salerno to Sorrento, was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco in 1997. And this is because the road that runs parallel to it, and pass by beautiful bays, coves and picturesque villages hanging along the coast like Sorrento, Ravello, Amalfi or Positano Vietri sul Mare.

It is to say that Positano is one of the most beautiful villages and it has been the setting for shooting of numerous movies like The Talented Mr. Ripley, Under the Tuscan Sun or Only You.

To walk through the steep alleyways between bright coloured houses and flowery balconies, you need to have good legs.

Sant Joan de Labritja

By Anastasia Fontanesi de A Travel’s Tale

Despite the popularity of Ibiza for its discos, parties and nightlife, the island can still offer the experience of living an authentic and typical atmosphere. I am talking about San Joan de Labritja, the less populated village located in the north side if the island.

San Joan is silent, peaceful and surrounded by a gorgeous mediterranean nature: maritime pines, olive trees, fruit trees and magnificent flowers. It is pure countryside and the life there passes slowly.

There aren’t big attractions, big hotel or restaurants but this is what makes S. Joan particular and beautiful in its way: you can still taste the real Ibicean way of life. Just walk down its small streets, sit down for a beer or a coffee, take a walk in the beautiful woods in the surroundings and you will be absolutely fulfilled by its precious simplicity.

June 23/24 is the main local party to welcome the summer. Close to the village there are several beaches such as Cala des XinclarS’Illot des Renchi, Portinatx and Cala de S. Vicent

German writer Johann Wolfgang Goethe on August 28th, 1749. The same house where he lived and wrote some of his masterpieces, right on Frankfurt’s oldtown, can be visit nowadays, after more than two centures, restored and in perfect condition. The four floors of the house are an invaluable testimony about society and life in Frankfurt in the 18th century.

Many of the exhibitis were removed for safety during bombings on the World War II but, after the house was rebuilt, these pieces returned in perfect condition.

All the information panels audio guides, on German and English, provide all the insights necessary to immerse the visitor in the Age of Romanticism.

The museum next to the house also worth a visit: beautiful artworks by Goethe and other artists from the same era, a a surprisingly good collection of late-18th and early-19th century art.
