🇬🇧 The deepest hotel in the world

Deep under the mountains of Snowdonia in Wales (Great Britain) is the deepest hotel in the world with the interesting name "Deep Sleep". It has opened its doors to those who dream of unforgettable adventures in the underground labyrinth.

Tourists who are ready to immerse themselves in the history of the abandoned Cwmorthin shale mine, where they can now enjoy the comfort of a hotel in the heart of the mountains, are gathered at a camp, from where they begin their exciting and dangerous journey into the depths with qualified guides.

The hotel is located 400 meters underground and consists of four rooms with single and double beds, as well as a dining area. All rooms are comfortably covered with thick insulation, which ensures a comfortable temperature throughout the year.

The Deep Sleep Hotel opens its doors only once a week, on Saturday evenings. The trip to this unusual place begins at the Go Below base near the town of Blaenai Ffestiniog.

Tourists are leaving Santorini in a panic, and the authorities are preparing for the eruption of the century

A series of earthquakes on the popular Greek resort island of Santorini has triggered evacuation plans. Although the evacuation order has not yet been given, many worried locals and tourists have already left the island by planes and ferries, while others have spent the night in their cars or in safe zones. Schools were closed on the island and evacuation points were set up.

Renowned Greek seismologist Gerasimos Papadopoulos warned that the current earthquake sequence, displayed on seismic maps in real time as a growing cluster of points between the islands of Santorini, Ios, Amorgos and Anafi, may indicate an impending larger event.

Efthymios Lekkas, President of the Organization for Antiseismic Planning and Protection, stressed that there is only a "slight probability of an earthquake with a magnitude of 5.5," but ruled out the possibility of an earthquake with a magnitude of more than 6.

FILM TOURISM IN EUROPE 2025

Film lovers will surely be interested in a dip into Woody Allen's Paris. Filming took place all over the City of Love: in the streets of Montmartre, Isle de la Cité, the Latin Quarter - it was not far from the Pantheon, on the steps of the Saint Étienne du Mont church that the protagonist Gil met the car that took him back to the city of the 20s.

The musical Mamma Mia, set to songs by the legendary band ABBA, was mostly filmed on the picturesque Greek islands of Skiathos and Skopelos. Bondiana was filmed on the streets of London, and dynamic chase footage in Istanbul.

In Russia, travellers are more attracted to locations associated with acutely social subjects. Such as the filming locations of ‘Leviathan’ in Teriberka, ‘The Word of a Patsan’ in Kazan, the film ‘The Geographer Globus Propyl’ in Perm and neighbouring regions.

🇮🇹 No low-cost housing programme has been as successful as in the Sicilian town of Sambuca di Sicily

It has been dubbed ‘Italy's Little America’ because of the large number of people from the US who have bought houses there in recent years. First, American buyers rushed to buy up houses in this mountain town at a discount for the symbolic sum of €1 in 2019 and €2 in 2021. Then more than a hundred Americans bought move-in ready homes from locals, revitalising the area's dwindling property market.

In November 2024, the city auctioned off a new batch of dilapidated houses for a token €3. There were only 15 bidders and only 6 of them were successful, bidding between €500 and €12,500. Apart from one American buyer, the rest were from other European countries, including three Italians.

‘The Italian buyers are all young, which is also a big surprise. They are not pensioners, but people who can also work remotely,’ said the mayor.

🇭🇺 A city at the crossroads of cultures

Pecs is the fifth largest city in Hungary, located just a few dozen kilometers from the border with Croatia and Serbia. The town is small, but it has an interesting history and is distinguished by a special interweaving of cultures and nations.

According to historians, Pecs was founded by the Romans more than two thousand years ago. It served as an important early Christian religious center (the necropolis has been preserved since then), and now it is the center of the episcopate and the home of Hungary's largest university.

At the same time, you can safely go to Pecs for several days or even a week. Because not only the city itself, but also its surroundings are rich in interesting and tourist locations.

There are pre-Christian caves listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and thermal pools (there are many within a 20-kilometer radius around the city), and grape areas with wineries, and artistic creations that few people know about.

The year 2024 was tragic for air travel, but airplanes are still the safest form of transport

According to the Aviation Safety Network, a total of 318 people died in plane crashes last year, making 2024 the deadliest year in aviation history since 2018.

Due to the recent spike in plane crashes, travelers may feel less confident. But are flights really becoming unsafe?

There have been no deaths on commercial aircraft in the entire year 2023. By the end of 2024, the aviation industry has transported 5 billion passengers worldwide. And until the last few days, 2024 was ready to repeat this security record.

"One of the strengths of aviation safety processes is that whenever a tragedy occurs, we analyze what has happened and take appropriate measures to prevent the recurrence of such incidents," the experts explain.

🇮🇹 Lake Avernus – portal to Hell

Around the 8th century BC, the Euboean Greeks founded the settlement of Cumae near Lake Avernus, west of Naples. Virgil glorified him in the Aeneid. It was the Greeks who first associated the lake with hellish elements. For them, it was the entrance to the underworld of Hades, where all the dead souls lived.

Lake Avernus is an extinct crater located in a huge caldera called the Phlegrean Fields. Its circumference is more than 2 km and its depth is 3.22 km. The height of the mountain is 108 m. Views from the edge of the volcano include the Tyrrhenian Sea with its islands of Capri and Ischia.

The name Avernus (Latin) comes from Aornos, which means "without birds" in Greek, due to the belief that poisonous gases rise from the lake and scare away all birds. Once upon a time, people called him Styx, who carried the dead to Hades. This belief was so strong that the inhabitants refused to drink from the stream that flowed underground into the sea.

🇮🇹 Cycling and the Dolomites

If you are also fond of mountain skiing, then you have probably already been to the Dolomites and, perhaps, you have already had the idea of returning here in the summer. And that's a great idea. Summer holidays in any of the 12 valleys will be comfortable, interesting and unforgettable.

Many hotels have a small bike park, but if you are not satisfied with the quality or quantity, then contact the rental offices. If you know how to ride a road bike, but the slides are too difficult for you, you can rent an electric road bike. Then you can ride with everyone and enjoy the views without restrictions.

We recommend a circular route along Lake Varese. In Milan, take the train to Gavirate, the journey time is 1.5 hours. Transportation of bicycles is € 3, you will need to secure them in a specially equipped carriage.

The walk is suitable for a family holiday, but you still need to take into account the fairly frequent elevation changes and many uphills along the way.

🇵🇹 Hiking in Madeira: the best healthy vacation

Madeira is a self–sufficient island. A point in the Atlantic Ocean where the wind is always blowing. And the mountains seem to be low (1800+), but clouds and clouds always cling to them, and they supply water.

Until recently, Madeira was considered a beautiful but very depressing place to relax. However, the local administration caught on in time and began to promote the topic of hiking, as well as trail running.

You can not visit Madeira and not try at least one, the smallest path. Trails are a feature of the island. For fans of healthy lifestyle– it is generally a necessary experience.
We recommend staying on the south coast and ideally not too far from the highway. If you travel around the island by car. This will greatly simplify and speed up movement.

If you don't have a car, stay in Funchal, where most sightseeing and hiking tours pick up tourists from the hotel.

🇮🇹 The story is more than a thousand years long

Sacra San Michele (San Michele) is an abbey built between 983 and 987 on the very top of Pirchiriano Mountain, located near Turin. As believers and those who practice the occult say, here is a place of power. Everyone who gets here feels this, regardless of whether they believe in it or not.

Part of the 200-kilometer journey that pilgrims travel from Mont Saint Michel in France to Monte Sant'Angelo in Puglia passes through the abbey. For others, this is one of the iconic places in the north of Piedmont, which is a must-see. ⠀

Sacra San Michele inspired the writer Umberto Eco to write the best-selling novel "The Name of the Rose". (Il nome della Rosa), which takes place "in some castle in the north," but it's about the abbey of San Michele.

MAN AND WOMAN: WHO CARES MORE ABOUT ROMANCE, INCLUDING TRAVEL

The Humboldt University Institute of Psychology in Berlin and an international research team have come to unexpected conclusions. They were published in January 2025.

It is quite obvious that men are more focused on entering into a serious relationship and devoting as much time as possible to their lady of the heart. In addition, these relationships have a more positive impact on the well-being and health of men than women. Even the life expectancy of men is longer than that of women, depending on whether they are in a serious relationship, the scientists emphasize.

After analyzing more than 50 studies that have been published over the past 20 years, scientists have concluded that men are much less likely to initiate a breakup, as they feel lonely after breaking up with their partner. Men rarely see the positive sides of a breakup. Romantic trips usually strengthen a couple's relationship.

🇷🇺 Chechnya has become a tourist attraction

Chechnya is a mountainous republic in the North Caucasus with amazing nature and rich history.

Records that there was a civilization on the territory of modern Chechnya are found even among ancient Roman historians. Although, judging by the archaeological excavations, people in this mountainous region lived several thousand years before our era. Until about the 16th century, mainly mountainous areas were inhabited.

In the 20th century, Chechnya experienced a number of national tragedies. Difficult relations with the Soviet government, two wars after the collapse of the Soviet Union. However, the republic has now recovered from the turmoil. Large cities surprise tourists with their well-groomed appearance, and the mountain scenery is breathtaking and fills up the memory of cameras and phones.

🇬🇧 LIFE ON THE ROAD

A DEFIANT family who refused to sell their family home before it was turned into a roundabout believe that sometimes life ‘twists incredible plots’.

The father-of-seven and grandfather of 12 grandchildren lives on the ring road with his wife Anwen and does not deny it is not always easy. Clwyd Hovatson, 65, feels great when he hears hundreds of cars whizzing past his home on the Denby bypass in Denbyshire, Wales.

The bungalow has belonged to his family for more than 60 years after his parents refused to move when plans for the roundabout were unveiled in the 1970s.

As for accidents, Clwyd says they've been lucky over the years and haven't encountered anything serious, although when the roundabout first came up there were a few instances of people driving round it inappropriately.
