Zakynthos in the Ionian Sea is becoming increasingly popular. Stylish hotels and sophisticated residential complexes are springing up.

Beach Hotels in Zakynthos Luxury beach resort SEA ZANTE Location: Drosia (East Zakynthos) Distance to the airport: about 15 km, approximately 25

I discovered Zimmermann by chance, browsing through FARFETCH on one of those quiet evenings when you want to add something light but full of soul to your wardrobe. One glance at their dresses instantly warmed me up: flowing fabrics, delicate lace, floral prints that seem to come alive in the breeze. These aren't just clothes—they're a mood you want to wear wherever time moves slowly: on a villa terrace overlooking the sea, by the pool, or on a sunset stroll through the garden

Budapest has always been a city of two souls for me: one bustling, with the lights of the bridges and the Danube reflecting the lights; the other hidden, almost intimate, where time slows down and you can simply be. It was in this second Budapest that I found The Ritz-Carlton Budapest—a hotel that doesn't shout about its luxury, but whispers it in your ear like an old friend. It's located in the heart of Pest, in a historic late 19th-century building that was once the Stock E

In the Netherlands, winter arrives softly: first, Sinterklaas, the smell of cinnamon and fresh waffles, then candles in the windows, outdoor skating rinks, and those same lights that make you want to slow down. This is December, which has room for both childish delight and the quiet happiness of an adult with a cup of mulled wine. I've compiled a list of the most beautiful Christmas markets of 2025 for you – with short routes, cozy stops, and addresses where you can sleep com

There are islands where you feel at home from the moment you arrive. Kefalonia is just such an island. There's no rush, no hustle and bustle, but there are mountains, sea, and evenings when it seems like the crickets are singing just for you. In Kastro, on a hillside in the shadow of St. George's Castle, I found Angel Pools Villa —a house that feels like a step back in time. The stone walls, rebuilt after the great earthquake of 1953, preserve a cool and peaceful atmosphere.
