“In fair Verona where we lay our scene”. Reading this line in the opening monologue of Shakespeare’s iconic Romeo and Juliet for the first time a decade ago is why visiting Verona has been at the top of my Italian bucket list. The same can probably be said for the thousands of travellers who flock the city each month, hoping to bask in the charm and literary aura of this very special place.  However, beyond its connections to Renaissance tragedy (or romance if that’s how you see it), Verona is a vibrant centre dominated by a remarkably well-preserved 1st-century amphitheatre, countless churches, a couple of architecturally fascinating bridges and fantastic…

Over the past few years, Albania, and particularly the Albania Riviera, has drawn an allure amongst travellers seeking the untouched and far more peaceful parts of Europe. It’s a country alive with natural magnificence and immense serenity from the highest hilltops to the azure waters of the Ionian Sea, and saying that it’s a place packed with hidden gems is not an exaggeration – at least for now.  An Albania Riverian road trip is an adventure steeped in winding roads, stretches of lush countryside, and gorgeous coastal views – sometimes reminiscent of Portugal, Greece, and Italy – yet entirely unique to the incredible wonders of the region.
