Found the most underrated hotel in Sicily @stay_nausicaa in Marsala. Salt flats, kitesurf, and Favignana all on your doorstep. Marsala does not get nearly enough attention. 🌅 Have you been? 👇
Favignana, Sicily 🌊 This is Spiaggia Lido Burrone — and yes, the water really is this clear. One of the most beautiful beaches in Italy and still relatively unknown. Have you been? 👇
The secret to seeing Trevi Fountain with no crowds — and yes, it’s completely free of tourists. 🇮🇹
Every Monday and Friday morning the fountain gets drained and cleaned. Head to Hotel Fontana Roma, pay €25 per person and you get rooftop access with a drink included.
The view is all yours.
Save this before your Rome trip. 📍 Hotel Fontana Roma, Rome

Sicily is one of those places that keeps surprising you. Most people only scratch the surface — but there is so much more to discover beyond the tourist trail.
Would you have guessed this was Greece? 🇬🇷 Drop a 🏛️ if you want to go.
Monemvasia is one of those places that genuinely stops you in your tracks. A medieval fortress town built into a rock, connected to the mainland by a single causeway — and almost no one talks about it. The cobblestone streets, the Byzantine churches, the colour of that water. Greece never misses.
📍 Monemvasia, Laconia, Greece
@visualsofalexandra showing why Favignana might just be Italy’s best-kept secret 💙
Crystal-clear water, hidden coves, and laid-back island life just off the coast of Favignana make it feel like a Mediterranean escape that still flies under the radar.
Would you visit this island? 🏝️
📍 Favignana, Italy
This hotel in Paros might be the most underrated stay in the Cyclades 🇬🇷
Play Paros Hotel is the kind of place that makes you never want to leave the pool — and honestly, why would you?
Paros is everything Mykonos used to be before everyone found out about it. Quieter, more beautiful, and still genuinely special.
Save this if Paros is on your list and tag who you are taking. 🙌
Maybe in another life… no, this one. 🇮🇹
If Cinque Terre isn’t on your Italy bucket list yet, it needs to be. Here is everything you need to know about visiting the 5 villages:
🚂 Getting around: Do not drive! The Cinque Terre Express train connects all the villages and takes less than 5 minutes between each stop.
🏘️ The Vibe:
• Monterosso: The only one with a proper sandy beach 🏖️
• Vernazza: The classic postcard view (hike up the trail for the best photo spot) 📸
• Corniglia: The only village with no harbour — perched on top of a cliff with 382 steps to reach it 🏔️
• Manarola: The best place for sunset and Aperol by the water 🍹
• Riomaggiore: The iconic red buildings and rocky harbour ⛵
👟 Top Tip: You can hike between them, but start early in the summer — the midday heat is no joke.

I have been lucky enough to visit some unreal places. But I genuinely cannot pick a favourite.
So I am leaving it to you — rank these 1 to 6 in the comments. I want to see if anyone agrees with my order. 👇
1 — Milos 🇬🇷
2 — Amsterdam 🇳🇱
3 — Barcelona 🇪🇸
4 — Cinque Terre 🇮🇹
5 — Marrakech 🇲🇦
6 — Porto 🇵🇹
Be honest. I can take it. 😂
Everyone goes to Lisbon. The smart ones go to Porto. 🇵🇹
Here is why Porto should be at the top of your Portugal list:
🌉 The Dom Luís I Bridge at sunset — one of the most beautiful views in Europe, completely free
🏘️ The Ribeira waterfront — colourful, chaotic, and absolutely perfect for wandering
🚃 The vintage tram to the seaside — one of the most charming €3 rides you will ever take
⛵ A boat trip on the Douro River — €15 and worth every cent
🍷 Port wine tasting in Vila Nova de Gaia — Ferreira tastings from €5, right across the river
🏛️ Azulejo tile buildings on every corner — every street is a photo opportunity
✈️ Cheaper than Lisbon, less crowded, and twice as charming
Save this for your Portugal trip and tag who you are taking. 🙌
There are places on this earth that do not look real. Sarakiniko beach in Milos, Greece is one of them. 🤍🇬🇷
The white volcanic rock formations, the crystal clear turquoise water, the caves carved into the cliffs — it genuinely looks like the surface of the moon.
If Greece is on your travel list, do not just go to Santorini. Milos is the hidden gem that will take your breath away.
Save this for your Greece trip planning! 📌
