Edessa waterfalls are several beautiful waterfalls in the northern part of Greece. Two of them are particularly impressive – Karanos, about 70 meters high and considered one of the highest waterfalls in Greece, and Lambda – just below the large waterfall. A pleasant park for walking has been built near them – Edessa waterfalls park.
Parga in Greece was off my list of places I dream of visiting. I had heard of it, of course, but it wasn’t until my friends suggested we take a late summer or early fall trip there that I researched the area, looked at photos, and then couldn’t wait for the time to come for our visit to Parga, Greece. It took place at the end of September. It turned out to be a pretty good time to go there – warm, without the horrendous heat.

Until recently, I associated Sicily mainly with the Etna volcano, but now I know this is the island of sun, sea and ancient history. In seven sunny October days, I was exploring the island and realized that there are so, so many remarkable places to visit in Sicily. Each of those destinations revealed me a different face of this interesting island – remains of ancient cities, old streets of small towns, volcanic landscapes, a sea of hills and dizzying sea panoramas. Those seven days turned out to be insufficient to see everything I wanted, but they definitely immersed me in the spirit of the Sicily.
Here I have gathered a list of some interesting facts about Sicily.
Thanks to my recent visit to Sicily, I learned a lot about the history, geography and culture of the island and gained great impressions, most of which I shared in several separate articles dedicated to a trip to Sicily.
Ostend is a city on the North Sea in the northwestern part of Belgium. It is not among the top tourist destinations in Europe, but I was interested in visiting it. The trip was short – for one afternoon, but I was glad that I saw the town, the beach and the sea itself.
Taormina is one of the most beautiful places on the island of Sicily – a town blessed with wonderful natural features and a rich history. When you visit Taormina, you’ll find it set on rugged terrain high above the Ionian Sea, charming visitors with its historic center, cozy atmosphere, small shops, fragrant restaurants, and narrow streets that seem to embrace you the moment you step into them. This is one of those places that gives you the feeling you’ve traveled back to a beautiful moment in time.
Syracusa is the city of the ancient Greek mathematician Archimedes and more. We visited it during the second day of our Sicilian trip this fall. There we touched the remains of ancient times, Sicilian baroque and maritime romance. Before them, however, we had to find a place to park twice because it was full of people – it was Sunday and it was a day with free entrance to the Archaeological Park in the city.
Noto quickly made it onto my wish-list of places to visit in Sicily when I was planning our trip to the island and it did not disappoint me. It revealed a wonderful baroque historical center with huge buildings, mostly churches and palaces, in a honey-peach color. In addition, we happened upon a medieval reenactment event, which made our experience even more vivid and memorable.
