This is one of London&#8217;s most energetic and original neighbourhoods. Markets spill onto canal towpaths. Live music echoes from Victorian venues. Street food arrives from every corner of the world. If you want to see a side of London the typical tourist trail skips, Camden Town delivers every time.</span></a></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://lovetovisitlondon.com/camden-town-london-the-complete-guide-for-us-visitors-2026/" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!UgWy!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F44b5408f-2625-4d77-a85d-0a826d0a6c96_512x640.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!UgWy!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F44b5408f-2625-4d77-a85d-0a826d0a6c96_512x640.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!UgWy!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F44b5408f-2625-4d77-a85d-0a826d0a6c96_512x640.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!UgWy!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F44b5408f-2625-4d77-a85d-0a826d0a6c96_512x640.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!UgWy!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F44b5408f-2625-4d77-a85d-0a826d0a6c96_512x640.png" width="512" height="640" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/44b5408f-2625-4d77-a85d-0a826d0a6c96_512x640.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:640,&quot;width&quot;:512,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;https://lovetovisitlondon.com/camden-town-london-the-complete-guide-for-us-visitors-2026/&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!UgWy!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F44b5408f-2625-4d77-a85d-0a826d0a6c96_512x640.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!UgWy!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F44b5408f-2625-4d77-a85d-0a826d0a6c96_512x640.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!UgWy!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F44b5408f-2625-4d77-a85d-0a826d0a6c96_512x640.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!UgWy!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F44b5408f-2625-4d77-a85d-0a826d0a6c96_512x640.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg aria-hidden="true" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">Photo: Shutterstock</figcaption></figure></div><div><hr></div><h2>The Baltic Capitals Route: from Tallinn to Vilnius</h2><p><a href="https://loveotvisit.substack.com/p/the-baltic-capitals-route-from-tallinn">The three Baltic states &#8212; Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania &#8212; sit along the eastern edge of the Baltic Sea, between Poland and the Gulf of Finland. They are small countries, and you can travel the length of all three by road in a single long day. But that would miss the point. This is a part of Europe that has spent centuries under the rule of others &#8212; Danish, German, Swedish, Polish, and Soviet &#8212; and has held on to its own languages, faiths, and traditions through all of it. The result is a region where the past is close to the surface and easy to reach.</a></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://loveotvisit.substack.com/p/the-baltic-capitals-route-from-tallinn" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!YICv!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F17ec638b-82c3-47bb-8031-465edf707e5a_512x640.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!YICv!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F17ec638b-82c3-47bb-8031-465edf707e5a_512x640.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!YICv!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F17ec638b-82c3-47bb-8031-465edf707e5a_512x640.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!YICv!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F17ec638b-82c3-47bb-8031-465edf707e5a_512x640.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!YICv!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F17ec638b-82c3-47bb-8031-465edf707e5a_512x640.png" width="512" height="640" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/17ec638b-82c3-47bb-8031-465edf707e5a_512x640.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:640,&quot;width&quot;:512,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;https://loveotvisit.substack.com/p/the-baltic-capitals-route-from-tallinn&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!YICv!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F17ec638b-82c3-47bb-8031-465edf707e5a_512x640.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!YICv!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F17ec638b-82c3-47bb-8031-465edf707e5a_512x640.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!YICv!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F17ec638b-82c3-47bb-8031-465edf707e5a_512x640.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!YICv!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F17ec638b-82c3-47bb-8031-465edf707e5a_512x640.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg aria-hidden="true" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption"><strong>Riga, Latvia -

Over thousands of years, glaciers carved long, narrow inlets into the land, leaving behind steep cliffs that drop straight into deep, still fjords. This region, often called Fjord Norway, stretches from the city of Bergen in the south to the mountains and coastline around &#197;lesund and Geiranger in the north. It is a place where small farms still cling to green ledges high above the water, and where ferries and railways remain part of daily life rather than simple tourist attractions.</a></p><div

The result is a region where the past is close to the surface and easy to reach.</a></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://loveotvisit.substack.com/p/the-baltic-capitals-route-from-tallinn" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!YICv!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F17ec638b-82c3-47bb-8031-465edf707e5a_512x640.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!YICv!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F17ec638b-82c3-47bb-8031-465edf707e5a_512x640.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!YICv!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F17ec638b-82c3-47bb-8031-465edf707e5a_512x640.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!YICv!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F17ec638b-82c3-47bb-8031-465edf707e5a_512x640.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!YICv!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F17ec638b-82c3-47bb-8031-465edf707e5a_512x640.png" width="512" height="640" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/17ec638b-82c3-47bb-8031-465edf707e5a_512x640.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:640,&quot;width&quot;:512,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;https://loveotvisit.substack.com/p/the-baltic-capitals-route-from-tallinn&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!YICv!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F17ec638b-82c3-47bb-8031-465edf707e5a_512x640.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!YICv!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F17ec638b-82c3-47bb-8031-465edf707e5a_512x640.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!YICv!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F17ec638b-82c3-47bb-8031-465edf707e5a_512x640.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!YICv!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F17ec638b-82c3-47bb-8031-465edf707e5a_512x640.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg aria-hidden="true" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption"><strong>Riga, Latvia -

Over thousands of years, glaciers carved long, narrow inlets into the land, leaving behind steep cliffs that drop straight into deep, still fjords. This region, often called Fjord Norway, stretches from the city of Bergen in the south to the mountains and coastline around &#197;lesund and Geiranger in the north. It is a place where small farms still cling to green ledges high above the water, and where ferries and railways remain part of daily life rather than simple tourist attractions.</a></p><div

Over thousands of years, glaciers carved long, narrow inlets into the land, leaving behind steep cliffs that drop straight into deep, still fjords. This region, often called Fjord Norway, stretches from the city of Bergen in the south to the mountains and coastline around &#197;lesund and Geiranger in the north. It is a place where small farms still cling to green ledges high above the water, and where ferries and railways remain part of daily life rather than simple tourist attractions.</a></p><div

They are small countries, and you can travel the length of all three by road in a single long day. But that would miss the point. This is a part of Europe that has spent centuries under the rule of others &#8212; Danish, German, Swedish, Polish, and Soviet &#8212; and has held on to its own languages, faiths, and traditions through all of it. The result is a region where the past is close to the surface and easy to reach.</a></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://loveotvisit.substack.com/p/the-baltic-capitals-route-from-tallinn" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!YICv!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F17ec638b-82c3-47bb-8031-465edf707e5a_512x640.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!YICv!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F17ec638b-82c3-47bb-8031-465edf707e5a_512x640.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!YICv!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F17ec638b-82c3-47bb-8031-465edf707e5a_512x640.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!YICv!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F17ec638b-82c3-47bb-8031-465edf707e5a_512x640.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!YICv!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F17ec638b-82c3-47bb-8031-465edf707e5a_512x640.png" width="512" height="640" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/17ec638b-82c3-47bb-8031-465edf707e5a_512x640.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:640,&quot;width&quot;:512,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;https://loveotvisit.substack.com/p/the-baltic-capitals-route-from-tallinn&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!YICv!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F17ec638b-82c3-47bb-8031-465edf707e5a_512x640.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!YICv!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F17ec638b-82c3-47bb-8031-465edf707e5a_512x640.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!YICv!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F17ec638b-82c3-47bb-8031-465edf707e5a_512x640.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!YICv!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F17ec638b-82c3-47bb-8031-465edf707e5a_512x640.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg aria-hidden="true" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption"><strong>Riga, Latvia - Shutterstock</strong></figcaption></figure></div><div><hr></div><h2>Around the World</h2><h3>Kolossi Castle</h3><p><a href="https://www.historyhit.com/locations/kolossi-castle/"><span>During the Middle Ages, the location of Kolossi held great strategic importance, with the facilities for producing sugar from the local sugarcane &#8211;

Over thousands of years, glaciers carved long, narrow inlets into the land, leaving behind steep cliffs that drop straight into deep, still fjords. This region, often called Fjord Norway, stretches from the city of Bergen in the south to the mountains and coastline around &#197;lesund and Geiranger in the north. It is a place where small farms still cling to green ledges high above the water, and where ferries and railways remain part of daily life rather than simple tourist attractions.</a></p><div

They are small countries, and you can travel the length of all three by road in a single long day. But that would miss the point. This is a part of Europe that has spent centuries under the rule of others &#8212; Danish, German, Swedish, Polish, and Soviet &#8212; and has held on to its own languages, faiths, and traditions through all of it. The result is a region where the past is close to the surface and easy to reach.</a></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://loveotvisit.substack.com/p/the-baltic-capitals-route-from-tallinn" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!YICv!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F17ec638b-82c3-47bb-8031-465edf707e5a_512x640.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!YICv!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F17ec638b-82c3-47bb-8031-465edf707e5a_512x640.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!YICv!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F17ec638b-82c3-47bb-8031-465edf707e5a_512x640.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!YICv!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F17ec638b-82c3-47bb-8031-465edf707e5a_512x640.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!YICv!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F17ec638b-82c3-47bb-8031-465edf707e5a_512x640.png" width="512" height="640" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/17ec638b-82c3-47bb-8031-465edf707e5a_512x640.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:640,&quot;width&quot;:512,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;https://loveotvisit.substack.com/p/the-baltic-capitals-route-from-tallinn&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!YICv!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F17ec638b-82c3-47bb-8031-465edf707e5a_512x640.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!YICv!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F17ec638b-82c3-47bb-8031-465edf707e5a_512x640.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!YICv!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F17ec638b-82c3-47bb-8031-465edf707e5a_512x640.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!YICv!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F17ec638b-82c3-47bb-8031-465edf707e5a_512x640.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg aria-hidden="true" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption"><strong>Riga, Latvia - Shutterstock</strong></figcaption></figure></div><div><hr></div><h2>Around the World</h2><h3>Above the Fairy Chimneys</h3><p><a href="http://www.fairychimneys.com/"><span>Rise above the otherworldly landscapes of Cappadocia and enjoy a breathtaking view from the sky.

Over thousands of years, glaciers carved long, narrow inlets into the land, leaving behind steep cliffs that drop straight into deep, still fjords. This region, often called Fjord Norway, stretches from the city of Bergen in the south to the mountains and coastline around &#197;lesund and Geiranger in the north. It is a place where small farms still cling to green ledges high above the water, and where ferries and railways remain part of daily life rather than simple tourist attractions.</a></p><div

Baltic states &#8212; Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania &#8212; sit along the eastern edge of the Baltic Sea, between Poland and the Gulf of Finland. They are small countries, and you can travel the length of all three by road in a single long day. But that would miss the point. This is a part of Europe that has spent centuries under the rule of others &#8212; Danish, German, Swedish, Polish, and Soviet &#8212; and has held on to its own languages, faiths, and traditions through all of it. The result is a region where the past is close to the surface and easy to reach.</p><p>What makes the Baltics different from more familiar corners of Europe is the balance between grandeur and calm. The old towns of Tallinn, Riga, and Vilnius are among the best preserved in Europe, yet they rarely feel crowded. You can stand in a medieval square in the early morning and hear little more than church bells and footsteps. Prices are lower than in Western Europe, distances are short, and the people are used to visitors without being defined by them. It is a place built for travellers who prefer to look closely rather than tick off a long list.</p><p>This route suits anyone who values history, architecture, and quiet time in equal measure. It moves from north to south, from the Gothic spires of Estonia to the baroque churches of Lithuania, with forests, coastline, and a remarkable hilltop shrine along the way. You do not need to rush it, and you will get more from it if you do not.</p><h3>In This Email:</h3><ul><li><p><strong>The Baltic Capitals Route: from Tallinn to Vilnius - </strong> Let&#8217;s walk through five places that capture the spirit of the Baltic states, from their capital cities to a national park and a sacred hill covered in crosses with a practical seven-day itinerary, advice on when to visit, and clear guidance on how to travel between the three countries.

Pristine stretches of marshland, punctuated by small islands known as hammocks and Georgia beaches, define the breathtaking landscape and create the appearance of a continuous stretch of land.</a></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://www.goldenisles.com/" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!FOKE!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F35067a73-2476-49b2-afe2-bd251bf0c2ee_512x640.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!FOKE!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F35067a73-2476-49b2-afe2-bd251bf0c2ee_512x640.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!FOKE!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F35067a73-2476-49b2-afe2-bd251bf0c2ee_512x640.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!FOKE!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F35067a73-2476-49b2-afe2-bd251bf0c2ee_512x640.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!FOKE!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F35067a73-2476-49b2-afe2-bd251bf0c2ee_512x640.png" width="512" height="640" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/35067a73-2476-49b2-afe2-bd251bf0c2ee_512x640.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:640,&quot;width&quot;:512,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:470885,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;https://www.goldenisles.com/&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://www.dreaminmiles.com/i/211047174?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F35067a73-2476-49b2-afe2-bd251bf0c2ee_512x640.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!FOKE!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F35067a73-2476-49b2-afe2-bd251bf0c2ee_512x640.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!FOKE!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F35067a73-2476-49b2-afe2-bd251bf0c2ee_512x640.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!FOKE!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F35067a73-2476-49b2-afe2-bd251bf0c2ee_512x640.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!FOKE!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F35067a73-2476-49b2-afe2-bd251bf0c2ee_512x640.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg aria-hidden="true" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">Ft.

Over thousands of years, glaciers carved long, narrow inlets into the land, leaving behind steep cliffs that drop straight into deep, still fjords. This region, often called Fjord Norway, stretches from the city of Bergen in the south to the mountains and coastline around &#197;lesund and Geiranger in the north. It is a place where small farms still cling to green ledges high above the water, and where ferries and railways remain part of daily life rather than simple tourist attractions.</a></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://loveotvisit.substack.com/p/a-slow-journey-through-norways-western" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4Fhp!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fef978316-9fc6-4fd2-8e7d-e7343d9a20d2_512x640.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4Fhp!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fef978316-9fc6-4fd2-8e7d-e7343d9a20d2_512x640.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4Fhp!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fef978316-9fc6-4fd2-8e7d-e7343d9a20d2_512x640.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4Fhp!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fef978316-9fc6-4fd2-8e7d-e7343d9a20d2_512x640.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4Fhp!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fef978316-9fc6-4fd2-8e7d-e7343d9a20d2_512x640.png" width="512" height="640" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/ef978316-9fc6-4fd2-8e7d-e7343d9a20d2_512x640.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:640,&quot;width&quot;:512,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;https://loveotvisit.substack.com/p/a-slow-journey-through-norways-western&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4Fhp!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fef978316-9fc6-4fd2-8e7d-e7343d9a20d2_512x640.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4Fhp!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fef978316-9fc6-4fd2-8e7d-e7343d9a20d2_512x640.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4Fhp!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fef978316-9fc6-4fd2-8e7d-e7343d9a20d2_512x640.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4Fhp!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fef978316-9fc6-4fd2-8e7d-e7343d9a20d2_512x640.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg aria-hidden="true" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><div><hr></div><h2>Around the World</h2><h3>St. Simons Lighthouse</h3><p><a href="https://www.goldenisles.com/blog/post/best-ways-to-experience-the-st-simons-lighthouse/"><span>Located near the </span>St. Simons Pier<span>, the St. Simons Lighthouse is a must-visit destination in the Golden Isles.

It is a volcanic island, formed by eruptions over millions of years, and its landscape still shows that origin. Steep ridges fall towards the sea, deep valleys cut through the interior, and the highest peaks rise above 1,800 metres. The island has belonged to Portugal since the early fifteenth century, when Portuguese sailors began to settle it, plant sugar cane, and later grow the vines that made Madeira wine famous across Europe.</a></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://loveotvisit.substack.com/publish/post/208693656"

Over thousands of years, glaciers carved long, narrow inlets into the land, leaving behind steep cliffs that drop straight into deep, still fjords. This region, often called Fjord Norway, stretches from the city of Bergen in the south to the mountains and coastline around &#197;lesund and Geiranger in the north. It is a place where small farms still cling to green ledges high above the water, and where ferries and railways remain part of daily life rather than simple tourist attractions.</a></p><div

It is a volcanic island, formed by eruptions over millions of years, and its landscape still shows that origin. Steep ridges fall towards the sea, deep valleys cut through the interior, and the highest peaks rise above 1,800 metres. The island has belonged to Portugal since the early fifteenth century, when Portuguese sailors began to settle it, plant sugar cane, and later grow the vines that made Madeira wine famous across Europe.</a></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://loveotvisit.substack.com/publish/post/208693656"

Over thousands of years, glaciers carved long, narrow inlets into the land, leaving behind steep cliffs that drop straight into deep, still fjords. This region, often called Fjord Norway, stretches from the city of Bergen in the south to the mountains and coastline around &#197;lesund and Geiranger in the north. It is a place where small farms still cling to green ledges high above the water, and where ferries and railways remain part of daily life rather than simple tourist attractions.</a></p><div

It is a volcanic island, formed by eruptions over millions of years, and its landscape still shows that origin. Steep ridges fall towards the sea, deep valleys cut through the interior, and the highest peaks rise above 1,800 metres. The island has belonged to Portugal since the early fifteenth century, when Portuguese sailors began to settle it, plant sugar cane, and later grow the vines that made Madeira wine famous across Europe.</a></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://loveotvisit.substack.com/publish/post/208693656"

Over thousands of years, glaciers carved long, narrow inlets into the land, leaving behind steep cliffs that drop straight into deep, still fjords. This region, often called Fjord Norway, stretches from the city of Bergen in the south to the mountains and coastline around &#197;lesund and Geiranger in the north. It is a place where small farms still cling to green ledges high above the water, and where ferries and railways remain part of daily life rather than simple tourist attractions.</a></p><div

It is a volcanic island, formed by eruptions over millions of years, and its landscape still shows that origin. Steep ridges fall towards the sea, deep valleys cut through the interior, and the highest peaks rise above 1,800 metres. The island has belonged to Portugal since the early fifteenth century, when Portuguese sailors began to settle it, plant sugar cane, and later grow the vines that made Madeira wine famous across Europe.</a></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://loveotvisit.substack.com/publish/post/208693656"

href="https://www.inspiringtravel.co.uk/indian-ocean/maldives/travel-guides/best-time-to-visit-the-maldives">The Maldives is a tropical destination that can be visited throughout the year, but the best time to travel is generally from </a><strong><a href="https://www.inspiringtravel.co.uk/indian-ocean/maldives/travel-guides/best-time-to-visit-the-maldives">December to April</a></strong><a href="https://www.inspiringtravel.co.uk/indian-ocean/maldives/travel-guides/best-time-to-visit-the-maldives">. During these months, visitors can expect warm temperatures, low humidity, and plenty of sunshine, making it ideal for relaxing on pristine beaches, snorkelling in crystal-clear waters, and enjoying luxury island resorts. From </a><strong><a href="https://www.inspiringtravel.co.uk/indian-ocean/maldives/travel-guides/best-time-to-visit-the-maldives">May to November</a></strong><a href="https://www.inspiringtravel.co.uk/indian-ocean/maldives/travel-guides/best-time-to-visit-the-maldives">, the islands experience the south-west monsoon season, bringing occasional rain and stronger winds. Although this period is wetter, it also offers lower accommodation prices, fewer tourists, and excellent opportunities to see marine wildlife such as manta rays and whale sharks. Whether you visit during the dry or wet season, the Maldives offers spectacular scenery, turquoise lagoons, and unforgettable tropical experiences.</a></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://www.inspiringtravel.co.uk/indian-ocean/maldives/travel-guides/best-time-to-visit-the-maldives" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!NZuW!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fcf59858a-fe75-4d9f-9cac-4902944916be_512x640.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!NZuW!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fcf59858a-fe75-4d9f-9cac-4902944916be_512x640.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!NZuW!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fcf59858a-fe75-4d9f-9cac-4902944916be_512x640.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!NZuW!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fcf59858a-fe75-4d9f-9cac-4902944916be_512x640.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!NZuW!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fcf59858a-fe75-4d9f-9cac-4902944916be_512x640.png" width="512" height="640" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/cf59858a-fe75-4d9f-9cac-4902944916be_512x640.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:640,&quot;width&quot;:512,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:497371,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;https://www.inspiringtravel.co.uk/indian-ocean/maldives/travel-guides/best-time-to-visit-the-maldives&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://www.dreaminmiles.com/i/210232632?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fcf59858a-fe75-4d9f-9cac-4902944916be_512x640.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!NZuW!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fcf59858a-fe75-4d9f-9cac-4902944916be_512x640.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!NZuW!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fcf59858a-fe75-4d9f-9cac-4902944916be_512x640.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!NZuW!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fcf59858a-fe75-4d9f-9cac-4902944916be_512x640.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!NZuW!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fcf59858a-fe75-4d9f-9cac-4902944916be_512x640.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg aria-hidden="true" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">Tranquil aerial landscape, luxury tropical resort with water villas -

This region, often called Fjord Norway, stretches from the city of Bergen in the south to the mountains and coastline around &#197;lesund and Geiranger in the north. It is a place where small farms still cling to green ledges high above the water, and where ferries and railways remain part of daily life rather than simple tourist attractions.</a></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://loveotvisit.substack.com/publish/post/207750442" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4Fhp!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fef978316-9fc6-4fd2-8e7d-e7343d9a20d2_512x640.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4Fhp!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fef978316-9fc6-4fd2-8e7d-e7343d9a20d2_512x640.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4Fhp!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fef978316-9fc6-4fd2-8e7d-e7343d9a20d2_512x640.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4Fhp!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fef978316-9fc6-4fd2-8e7d-e7343d9a20d2_512x640.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4Fhp!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fef978316-9fc6-4fd2-8e7d-e7343d9a20d2_512x640.png" width="512" height="640" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/ef978316-9fc6-4fd2-8e7d-e7343d9a20d2_512x640.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:640,&quot;width&quot;:512,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;https://loveotvisit.substack.com/publish/post/207750442&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4Fhp!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fef978316-9fc6-4fd2-8e7d-e7343d9a20d2_512x640.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4Fhp!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fef978316-9fc6-4fd2-8e7d-e7343d9a20d2_512x640.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4Fhp!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fef978316-9fc6-4fd2-8e7d-e7343d9a20d2_512x640.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4Fhp!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fef978316-9fc6-4fd2-8e7d-e7343d9a20d2_512x640.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg aria-hidden="true" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">Colorful Art Nouveau architecture reflecting on Brosundet canal with a traditional Viking ship in &#197;lesund, Norway - Shutterstock</figcaption></figure></div><div><hr></div><h2>Around the World</h2><h3>Alimatha Aquatic Resort</h3><p><a href="https://visitmaldives.com/en/resorts/alimatha-resort"><span>The word Alimath&#224;

It is a volcanic island, formed by eruptions over millions of years, and its landscape still shows that origin. Steep ridges fall towards the sea, deep valleys cut through the interior, and the highest peaks rise above 1,800 metres. The island has belonged to Portugal since the early fifteenth century, when Portuguese sailors began to settle it, plant sugar cane, and later grow the vines that made Madeira wine famous across Europe.</a></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://loveotvisit.substack." data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div

coast of Norway is shaped by water and rock. Over thousands of years, glaciers carved long, narrow inlets into the land, leaving behind steep cliffs that drop straight into deep, still fjords. This region, often called Fjord Norway, stretches from the city of Bergen in the south to the mountains and coastline around &#197;lesund and Geiranger in the north. It is a place where small farms still cling to green ledges high above the water, and where ferries and railways remain part of daily life rather than simple tourist attractions.</p><p>What makes this region different is its scale and its calm. The mountains here can rise more than a thousand metres directly from sea level, yet the water below is often glass-smooth. Two of the fjords, the N&#230;r&#248;yfjord and the Geirangerfjord, are listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites for their natural beauty and geology. Communities here have lived with this landscape for centuries, farming steep slopes, fishing the cold waters, and building timber churches that still stand today. It is working country, not a theme park, and that honesty of place is part of its appeal.</p><p>This route suits travellers who prefer depth over speed. The distances are not huge, but the terrain is slow by design. Roads wind around mountains, ferries cross fjords on fixed timetables, and the best moments often come from simply sitting still and watching the light change on the water.

It is a volcanic island, formed by eruptions over millions of years, and its landscape still shows that origin. Steep ridges fall towards the sea, deep valleys cut through the interior, and the highest peaks rise above 1,800 metres. The island has belonged to Portugal since the early fifteenth century, when Portuguese sailors began to settle it, plant sugar cane, and later grow the vines that made Madeira wine famous across Europe.</a></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://loveotvisit.substack.com/publish/post/208693656" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LM2u!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LM2u!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LM2u!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LM2u!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LM2u!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png" width="512" height="640" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:640,&quot;width&quot;:512,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;https://loveotvisit.substack.com/publish/post/208693656&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LM2u!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LM2u!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LM2u!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LM2u!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg aria-hidden="true" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">Traditional Madeiran houses in the town of Santana on the island of Madeira -

For most of its long history it has been a crossroads. Trade routes, armies, and pilgrims all passed through this narrow band of land between Russia to the north and Turkey, Armenia, and Azerbaijan to the south. That constant movement shaped a country that feels familiar and unusual at the same time. The alphabet is its own, unlike any other. The language belongs to no larger family. The food and wine carry flavours you will not find anywhere else.</a></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

It is a volcanic island, formed by eruptions over millions of years, and its landscape still shows that origin. Steep ridges fall towards the sea, deep valleys cut through the interior, and the highest peaks rise above 1,800 metres. The island has belonged to Portugal since the early fifteenth century, when Portuguese sailors began to settle it, plant sugar cane, and later grow the vines that made Madeira wine famous across Europe.</a></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://loveotvisit.substack.com/publish/post/208693656" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LM2u!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LM2u!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LM2u!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LM2u!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LM2u!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png" width="512" height="640" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:640,&quot;width&quot;:512,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;https://loveotvisit.substack.com/publish/post/208693656&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LM2u!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LM2u!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LM2u!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LM2u!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg aria-hidden="true" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">Traditional Madeiran houses in the town of Santana on the island of Madeira -

For most of its long history it has been a crossroads. Trade routes, armies, and pilgrims all passed through this narrow band of land between Russia to the north and Turkey, Armenia, and Azerbaijan to the south. That constant movement shaped a country that feels familiar and unusual at the same time. The alphabet is its own, unlike any other. The language belongs to no larger family. The food and wine carry flavours you will not find anywhere else.</a></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

It is a volcanic island, formed by eruptions over millions of years, and its landscape still shows that origin. Steep ridges fall towards the sea, deep valleys cut through the interior, and the highest peaks rise above 1,800 metres. The island has belonged to Portugal since the early fifteenth century, when Portuguese sailors began to settle it, plant sugar cane, and later grow the vines that made Madeira wine famous across Europe.</a></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://loveotvisit.substack.com/publish/post/208693656" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LM2u!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LM2u!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LM2u!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LM2u!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LM2u!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png" width="512" height="640" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:640,&quot;width&quot;:512,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;https://loveotvisit.substack.com/publish/post/208693656&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LM2u!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LM2u!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LM2u!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LM2u!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg aria-hidden="true" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">Traditional Madeiran houses in the town of Santana on the island of Madeira -

For most of its long history it has been a crossroads. Trade routes, armies, and pilgrims all passed through this narrow band of land between Russia to the north and Turkey, Armenia, and Azerbaijan to the south. That constant movement shaped a country that feels familiar and unusual at the same time. The alphabet is its own, unlike any other. The language belongs to no larger family. The food and wine carry flavours you will not find anywhere else.</a></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Europe's most beautiful capitals, Czechia offers so much more beyond its famous landmarks.

It is a volcanic island, formed by eruptions over millions of years, and its landscape still shows that origin. Steep ridges fall towards the sea, deep valleys cut through the interior, and the highest peaks rise above 1,800 metres. The island has belonged to Portugal since the early fifteenth century, when Portuguese sailors began to settle it, plant sugar cane, and later grow the vines that made Madeira wine famous across Europe.</a></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://loveotvisit.substack.com/publish/post/208693656" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LM2u!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LM2u!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LM2u!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LM2u!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LM2u!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png" width="512" height="640" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:640,&quot;width&quot;:512,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;https://loveotvisit.substack.com/publish/post/208693656&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LM2u!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LM2u!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LM2u!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LM2u!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg aria-hidden="true" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">Traditional Madeiran houses in the town of Santana on the island of Madeira -

For most of its long history it has been a crossroads. Trade routes, armies, and pilgrims all passed through this narrow band of land between Russia to the north and Turkey, Armenia, and Azerbaijan to the south. That constant movement shaped a country that feels familiar and unusual at the same time. The alphabet is its own, unlike any other. The language belongs to no larger family. The food and wine carry flavours you will not find anywhere else.</a></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

It is a volcanic island, formed by eruptions over millions of years, and its landscape still shows that origin. Steep ridges fall towards the sea, deep valleys cut through the interior, and the highest peaks rise above 1,800 metres. The island has belonged to Portugal since the early fifteenth century, when Portuguese sailors began to settle it, plant sugar cane, and later grow the vines that made Madeira wine famous across Europe.</a></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://loveotvisit.substack.com/publish/post/208693656" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LM2u!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LM2u!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LM2u!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LM2u!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LM2u!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png" width="512" height="640" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:640,&quot;width&quot;:512,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;https://loveotvisit.substack.com/publish/post/208693656&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LM2u!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LM2u!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LM2u!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LM2u!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F928cf153-66e1-42d4-8c1b-feb669a8f84f_512x640.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg aria-hidden="true" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">Traditional Madeiran houses in the town of Santana on the island of Madeira -

For most of its long history it has been a crossroads. Trade routes, armies, and pilgrims all passed through this narrow band of land between Russia to the north and Turkey, Armenia, and Azerbaijan to the south. That constant movement shaped a country that feels familiar and unusual at the same time. The alphabet is its own, unlike any other. The language belongs to no larger family. The food and wine carry flavours you will not find anywhere else.</a></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Atlantic Ocean about 900 kilometres south-west of mainland Portugal and closer to the coast of North Africa than to Lisbon. It is a volcanic island, formed by eruptions over millions of years, and its landscape still shows that origin. Steep ridges fall towards the sea, deep valleys cut through the interior, and the highest peaks rise above 1,800 metres. The island has belonged to Portugal since the early fifteenth century, when Portuguese sailors began to settle it, plant sugar cane, and later grow the vines that made Madeira wine famous across Europe.</p><p>What makes the island different is the way people have shaped the land to live on it. Because rain falls mainly in the north and west, early settlers built a network of narrow water channels, called levadas, to carry water across the island to farms and towns in the drier south. Today these channels stretch for more than 2,000 kilometres, and the maintenance paths beside them have become some of the finest walking routes in Europe. You can follow flat, gentle levadas through laurel forest, or take on steep mountain trails between the two highest summits.</p><p>This is a good place for slow travel. The island is small enough to explore over a week without long transfers, yet varied enough that no two days feel the same. It suits travellers who like a mix of gardens, food, coastal towns, and time in the open air, and who prefer to settle into a place rather than rush through it.</p><h3>In This email:</h3><ul><li><p><strong>Madeira Beyond the Coast - </strong>Below you will find five places that show the range of the island, from its lively capital to its quiet northern coast. Each section explains what the place is, why it matters, and what you can do there. At the end you will find a suggested seven-day plan, advice on when to visit, and practical notes on getting there.</p><ul><li><p><strong>Funchal and its gardens</strong></p></li><li><p>Monte and the Monte Palace Tropical Garden</p></li><li><p><strong>Santana and the Caldeir&#227;o Verde levada</strong></p></li><li><p>Pico do Arieiro and Pico Ruivo</p></li><li><p><strong>Porto Moniz and the volcanic pools</strong></p></li><li><p>Suggested seven-day itinerary and best time to visit</p></li></ul></li></ul><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.dreaminmiles.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">For Those Who Dream In Miles is a reader-supported publication.

For most of its long history it has been a crossroads. Trade routes, armies, and pilgrims all passed through this narrow band of land between Russia to the north and Turkey, Armenia, and Azerbaijan to the south. That constant movement shaped a country that feels familiar and unusual at the same time. The alphabet is its own, unlike any other. The language belongs to no larger family. The food and wine carry flavours you will not find anywhere else.</a></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://loveotvisit.substack.com/publish/post/206813269" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!MUuw!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fac53cb74-f959-4afe-997e-a720a1860304_512x640.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!MUuw!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fac53cb74-f959-4afe-997e-a720a1860304_512x640.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!MUuw!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fac53cb74-f959-4afe-997e-a720a1860304_512x640.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!MUuw!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fac53cb74-f959-4afe-997e-a720a1860304_512x640.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!MUuw!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fac53cb74-f959-4afe-997e-a720a1860304_512x640.png" width="512" height="640" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/ac53cb74-f959-4afe-997e-a720a1860304_512x640.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:640,&quot;width&quot;:512,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;https://loveotvisit.substack.com/publish/post/206813269&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!MUuw!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fac53cb74-f959-4afe-997e-a720a1860304_512x640.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!MUuw!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fac53cb74-f959-4afe-997e-a720a1860304_512x640.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!MUuw!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fac53cb74-f959-4afe-997e-a720a1860304_512x640.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!MUuw!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fac53cb74-f959-4afe-997e-a720a1860304_512x640.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg aria-hidden="true" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">  Historical streets of Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia - Shutterstock</figcaption></figure></div><div><hr></div><h2>Around the World</h2><h3>Peterhof Palace The Russian Versailles</h3><p><a href="https://www.baltictravelcompany.com/attractions/peterhof/">Located on the shores of the Gulf of Finland near St. Petersburg, Peterhof Palace is a breathtaking imperial complex built by Peter the Great in the 18th century.

The name is widely known, often through fiction, but the real region is quieter and far more interesting than the legends suggest. For more than 800 years it has been a meeting point of cultures: Romanian, Hungarian, Roma, and, most visibly in its architecture, German. In the 12th century, Hungarian kings invited settlers from the Rhine and Moselle valleys to develop and defend this frontier land. Those settlers became known as the Transylvanian Saxons, and the towns and villages they built still shape the landscape today.</a></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a

It is of course the gigantic, incomparable sand dunes of the ancient Namib Desert that feature most prominently on a Namibia holiday itinerary. But this Southern African country, lying between the Kalahari and the Atlantic Ocean, has much more up its sleeve.</a></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://www.go2africa.com/destinations/namibia/why-go" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ocTz!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F03cf637b-9f1b-4401-9ce5-71dbe9acd81e_1000x668.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ocTz!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F03cf637b-9f1b-4401-9ce5-71dbe9acd81e_1000x668.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ocTz!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F03cf637b-9f1b-4401-9ce5-71dbe9acd81e_1000x668.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ocTz!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F03cf637b-9f1b-4401-9ce5-71dbe9acd81e_1000x668.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ocTz!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F03cf637b-9f1b-4401-9ce5-71dbe9acd81e_1000x668.jpeg" width="1000" height="668" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/03cf637b-9f1b-4401-9ce5-71dbe9acd81e_1000x668.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:668,&quot;width&quot;:1000,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:481967,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;https://www.go2africa.com/destinations/namibia/why-go&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://www.dreaminmiles.com/i/208949888?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F03cf637b-9f1b-4401-9ce5-71dbe9acd81e_1000x668.jpeg&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ocTz!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F03cf637b-9f1b-4401-9ce5-71dbe9acd81e_1000x668.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ocTz!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F03cf637b-9f1b-4401-9ce5-71dbe9acd81e_1000x668.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ocTz!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F03cf637b-9f1b-4401-9ce5-71dbe9acd81e_1000x668.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ocTz!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F03cf637b-9f1b-4401-9ce5-71dbe9acd81e_1000x668.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg aria-hidden="true" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">Dunes and dry pan vegetation in the Namib-Naukluft desert -

For most of its long history it has been a crossroads. Trade routes, armies, and pilgrims all passed through this narrow band of land between Russia to the north and Turkey, Armenia, and Azerbaijan to the south. That constant movement shaped a country that feels familiar and unusual at the same time. The alphabet is its own, unlike any other. The language belongs to no larger family. The food and wine carry flavours you will not find anywhere else.</a></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://loveotvisit.substack.com/publish/post/206813269" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!MUuw!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fac53cb74-f959-4afe-997e-a720a1860304_512x640.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!MUuw!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fac53cb74-f959-4afe-997e-a720a1860304_512x640.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!MUuw!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fac53cb74-f959-4afe-997e-a720a1860304_512x640.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!MUuw!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fac53cb74-f959-4afe-997e-a720a1860304_512x640.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!MUuw!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fac53cb74-f959-4afe-997e-a720a1860304_512x640.png" width="512" height="640" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/ac53cb74-f959-4afe-997e-a720a1860304_512x640.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:640,&quot;width&quot;:512,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;https://loveotvisit.substack.com/publish/post/206813269&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!MUuw!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fac53cb74-f959-4afe-997e-a720a1860304_512x640.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!MUuw!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fac53cb74-f959-4afe-997e-a720a1860304_512x640.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!MUuw!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fac53cb74-f959-4afe-997e-a720a1860304_512x640.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!MUuw!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fac53cb74-f959-4afe-997e-a720a1860304_512x640.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg aria-hidden="true" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">  Historical streets of Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia -

The name is widely known, often through fiction, but the real region is quieter and far more interesting than the legends suggest. For more than 800 years it has been a meeting point of cultures: Romanian, Hungarian, Roma, and, most visibly in its architecture, German. In the 12th century, Hungarian kings invited settlers from the Rhine and Moselle valleys to develop and defend this frontier land. Those settlers became known as the Transylvanian Saxons, and the towns and villages they built still shape the landscape today.</a></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a
