Краткое описание: Cuba is a unique country with many distinct characteristics. Travel here not only requires a passport, money and a good sturdy rucksack; but it also requires flexibility, creativity, good humor, patience and a healthy sense of adventure. Speaking Spanish, though not a prerequisite, is undoubtedly a huge advantage, and will allow you to travel further and dig deeper than the average tourist.

Краткое описание: It may not surprise you to learn that Croatia is at its most popular in the summer months. Its luxurious hotels, modest family-owned pensions (guest houses) or beachfront camping grounds all get busy with guests, local and international, especially in the peak season (July through August). It’s a good idea to book a place to stay in advance during these two months, especially if you’ll be staying on one of the islands. Spring and autumn are less busy and more attractive — think entire beaches to yourself, a plentiful choice of places to stay, and museums and churches serenely empty.

Краткое описание: Crete is a vast and fascinating island whose diversity and stature are unrivalled by any other Greek isle. The birthplace of Zeus evokes a wealth of myths, legends and history. Its sun-blessed and dramatic landscape is dominated by soaring mountains and stunning beaches. Its proud and hospitable people uphold their unique culture and traditions and, despite the onslaught of mass tourism, rural life remains a dynamic and enduring part of the island s soul.

Краткое описание: Corsica is dubbed L’Ile de beauté (the island of beauty), and it’s no wonder why. With everything from mountain ranges to idyllic beaches and secluded villages, Corsica offers a kaleidoscopic palette of options in a relatively small area. There’s never a dull moment!

For outdoor enthusiasts, the range of scenery and activities is almost countless. From sea kayaking to trekking, canyoning to diving, there is barely a sport or activity, whether on land or on the sea, that isn’t catered for here.

Краткое описание: A siesta from China’s instinct to put in the overtime, a holiday from the national overdrive and an unspoiled getaway from China’s ever more waterless north, China’s Southwest is a lush and invigorating region of the Middle Kingdom. This is remote China at its most diverse and exotic.

China’s Southwest is an essential counterbalance to the nation’s impatient and shrill powerhouses. If you want your China the Gucci way - go to Shanghai, Hong Kong or Beijing; and stay put.
