Boat trip: 5 islands where volcanoes smoke
Volcano Etna
Boat trip on the volcanic islands. The starting point of the trip, we chose the city of Catania, which is located at the foot of Mount Etna. This is the best place in the area where you can rent a car to go to conquer the volcano. The Rifugio Sapienza platform at an altitude of 1900 meters can be reached by car, then everyone changes to the funicular, which goes up to 2500 meters. You can drive another 500 meters up on a special bus, and only further on foot. The main thing to do with this is to be prepared for a change in temperature. Upstairs it’s cold and windy enough, so even if the day is very hot, you need to bring a jacket and closed shoes with you.
The landscapes above are simply Martian. Fantastic films can be made here: the crater smokes, there is no vegetation, bizarre-shaped stones are scattered everywhere, the wind carries black volcanic sand. Continue reading
What you need to know about Bali

Kuta is the estate of surfers. Large ocean waves crashing along the surf line, boiling with white foam. For bathing conditions are not entirely suitable. And Kuta itself is a rather fussy place with a lot of traffic, an abundance of shopping centers with unreasonably high prices. Continue reading
Elite holidays in Acapulco
Acapulco is a world famous resort on the Pacific coast of Mexico. Every year it attracts several million tourists. And all this thanks to the rich nightlife, very mild, warm climate, well-equipped beaches. This Mexican city is the real night capital of the whole country. At night, the noise and music from restaurants, casinos, clubs and dance floors do not subside.
Acapulco welcomes visitors every day, but the best time to travel is November-April. Acapulco has a very developed infrastructure, but most hotels are already very old and worn out. Still, the Mexican resort became famous in the middle of the last century, then most hotels were built, but, however, they are constantly undergoing cosmetic repairs.
Navigating to Acapulco is quite difficult, since the city is rather big, it stretches for 35 kilometers. The city is conditionally divided into 3 zones. The west of the bay is Old Acapulco, the very center of the city. The lion’s share of hotels is located in the Golden Acapulco. But everything for a real elite holiday is in the “Diamond Acapulco”. This area in the east of the bay is an area of luxury hotels and villas. Continue reading
