Corfu

Corfu is my island of inspiration

I lived in Corfu for three years, and during that time, I fell in love with this green island in the Ionian Sea. I traveled and walked its length and breadth, discovering hidden coves, cozy villages, authentic tavernas, and the best places to relax.

My website was born from this love. Here I've collected everything that helps you experience the true spirit of Corfu:
– Villas and houses for accommodation – from secluded estates to modern apartments;
– Hotels and boutique hotels – trusted addresses with top-notch service;
– Tours and itineraries – my personal tips, favorite places, and itineraries you won't find in guidebooks.

I keep returning to Corfu and updating this collection. This section is not just a guide, but my declaration of love to the island where my heart lives. Let it be your guide to a world of beauty, hospitality, and new discoveries.

Palazzo Firenze by Baglioni Hotels & Resorts — luxury in the center of Florence.

On Via Ghibellina, in the Santa Croce district—amid streets where echoes of Venice and the breath of time pay tribute to history—stands this 18th-century palace. As it unfolds before you, it seems as if time has slowed slightly. Built as a noble estate, today Palazzo Firenze retains the atmosphere of a private family home, decorated with frescoes, marble walls, and refined furnishings. With only 24 rooms and suites, each is unique and exudes history and comfort. Why stay here

London on Headphones: An Audio Journey Through a City That Never Ceases to Amaze.

When I first discovered VoiceMap audio tours, I was in London. The city was quiet and a bit distant, the museums were closed, the streets were empty, and I was learning to listen to its breath—step by step, through the guides' voices, telling stories right in my headphones. Each route became a small revelation: turn after turn, street after street—London revealed itself anew. It was like a journey through a book, where each chapter is a new neighborhood, and each story comes

Paralia Katerinis and its surroundings: the sandy coastline of the Aegean Sea, Olympus and ideal hotels.

Travel for those who know how to slow down I love returning to places where the sea feels like a long silken shawl—slow, smooth, and warm. For me, that place was Paralia Katerinis: not far from bustling Thessaloniki (about an hour's drive), but a completely different world in spirit. There are no noisy promenades or crowds here—just a wide stretch of sand, a gentle breeze, and the horizon of the Aegean Sea. In this post, I share my favorite spots, tips, and a selection of hot
