The tourist season in Croatia has kicked off with a good start. Over the next couple of months the life on the Adriatic coast becomes one hectic beehive.

Down in the deep south, Dubrovnik becomes an open stage where the rich, the famous, the wannabees mingle together during Dubrovnik Festival and where joy and laughter can be heard at every street corner. What is more, the life in the Old Town never ceases to stop. The hordes of night birds are replaced by ever excited tourists from the visiting cruisers. Mesmerizing looks on their faces are truly justifying Bernard Shaw’s famous sentence comparing Dubrovnik to paradise.
City wall walk is on a must to do list of every cruiser tourist. Do not forget to take some water with you as the heat can get the better of you. Also, remember that you can safely withdraw local currency (kunas) from ATMs and what is more you can use your card safely at POS terminals.

Have you ever noticed how some of your friends seem to get away on a lot of holidays each year? Maybe they’re just lucky, or maybe they know the secrets to finding cheap airline tickets.

Before internet usage became so common, the trick to finding the best deals on flights often involved waiting until the very last moment and then phoning a specialist flight broker.

Such brokers were often able to offer extremely competitive last minute deals, allowing you access to cheap prices. They were able to get their hands on cheap tickets because some airlines would find themselves with excess capacity and would look to brokers to fill seats.

Think of a cruise and you’ll probably think of the open waves and enjoying the many benefits of a cruise ship while surrounded by nothing more than ocean on all sides. But a cruise does not always set sail on an ocean. Some of the best cruises the world has to offer are actually river cruises, and what they might lack in distance travelled they certainly make up for in sights to see.

Are River Cruises Shorter Than Normal Cruises?

Many of us have had the misfortune to be stuck around in airport lounges, waiting for our delayed flight to depart. In this article we examine methods to avoid the associated boredom.

Being stuck at an airport for hours on end can be a draining experience. Even the world’s largest airports make less than ideal locations to spend more than an hour or so.

From the uncomfortable chairs to the loud announcements, it seems that airport lounges are not conducive to relaxing. Although many airports will include a number of stores within the airport terminal buildings, such stores are often over-priced, making the entire experience even less pleasurable.

Cyprus has become particularly popular with tourists in recent years. The following is a list of the top eight holiday locations on this Mediterranean island.

1. Ayia Napa: One of the party capitals of Europe. With its busy bars, restaurants and nightclubs, it’s no surprise that Ayia Napa is a real rival to Ibiza. The dance music scene attracts visitors from all over Europe.

2. Nissi Beach: Considerably quieter than neighbouring Ayia Napa, this resort enjoys popularity thanks to its long stretches of white beaches.
