Crete island is a popular summer destination in Greece, which is not surprising at all, considering all the stunning beaches it offers. But you only have a week or two to explore them all during your vacation, and there’s just too many. Ah, I know, life is not easy, and I understand the frustration. In…

Your Everything-To-Know Guide To Lake Ohrid, North Macedonia
It’s not much of an exaggeration that we wanted to visit North Macedonia because of Lake Ohrid in the first place. (And because 85% of its territory is covered in mountains in the second place.) Is it really that beautiful? Yes, it is! We’ve seen quite some amazing lakes, and it’s not that easy to…
5 Best Black Sand Beaches In Tenerife
I remember visiting Iceland 4 years ago. How excited we got about the black sand beaches there! Not just the famous Black Sand Beach with capitals (also known as Reynisfjara), but several more that we found on our way around the island. That was the first time we’ve seen black sand beaches, and no matter…
Day Hike To Antequera Beach, Tenerife
This full day hike in Anaga Rural Park has the best of everything: breathtaking coastal and mountain views, lush greenery (and amazing wildflowers in spring!) and a wild, barely known black sand beach, Playa de Antequera. It takes roughly 3 hours to get there, and another 3 to get back on the same way, the…

But first of all, are Croatian beaches in general suitable for kids? Lots of them are! The Adriatic coastline of Croatia is the most indented in…
Best Beaches In Tenerife
We’ve spent three weeks in Tenerife this spring. Though it was not planned to be a beach holiday, every holiday there is that to some extent. We hiked a lot, we drove around the island, and we enjoyed exploring the beaches, sunbathing and playing in the waves. Not much swimming, as the ocean was 18-19°C…
8 Best Family-Friendly Beaches In Tenerife
We travelled to Tenerife with our 1.5 years old boy in March and April. Though it was not a beach holiday (mainly because we can’t just lie on a beach for days, we’re yearning for being more active), it was a nature focused one, and we spent a lot of time on beaches. Sometimes full…
Which Is The Perfect Kind Of Beach For A Baby?
It’s easy, isn’t it? Of course, it’s a sandy beach. Except, you’ll realize within a few hours on the beach that sand will get into everywhere – and when I say it, I mean it. Especially if you have a little crawler who drools a lot. His hands and half of his face are constantly…
