Paw the traveller

Gitio- Paw traveller Pastel houses that looks as if someone needled them into the hill of Koumaros, a love scandal that sparked the Trojan War, beautiful beaches where Caretta Caretta turtles find refuge, great food, and even better wines... This is Gitio! Peloponnese is perfection of nature and its settlements have that special, natural, and almost boring Mediterranean everyday lifestyle. But, its part called Mani, covered with picturesque villages and some of the most beautiful beaches of the Mediterranean, is truly something extraordinary. Gitio- Paw traveller Gitio is a small port town hidden in this region, but also the largest city on the Mani peninsula, and in ancient times it was the main port of Sparta. This small town still keeps the old charm and is not overly visited by tourists, so it is the perfect place if you want to experience real Greece and everyday life . The first thing you will see when you come here is a long promenade along which are amphitheatrically crammed ho...

  Ohhh, Mani! Those are the stone towers, the proud Maniots, and the "gate" that leads to Hades... Mani- Paw traveller Mani is a peninsula in the southernmost corner of Southeast Europe. Its unique beauty, unreal landscapes, and rich history make this destination a must-see for all lovers of real Greece, and travelers looking for places unspoiled by mass tourism. Rough at first glance, but at the same time enchanting, with stone houses and towers that looks more like small fortresses, churches, and hidden bays that are not only worthy of a travelogue because Mani cannot be described, Mani must be felt and experienced . Deep Mani - one of the most isolated regions Mani- Paw traveller Deep Mani  has been one of the most isolated regions in Greece for a long time, and here you will find unreal and magical places such as Areopoli , Gerolimenas , Vathia , Porto Kagio, and Marmari , but also the southernmost part of the Balkan Peninsula, Cape Mattapan , which separates t...

 If this peninsula was a fruit, it would be citrus without a doubt... Karatona- Paw traveller Argolida, those are endless plantations of mandarins, oranges, and lemons, rich cultural and historical heritage, and clean sea! Our first week in this part of the Peloponnese region was reserved for Assini, a small town on the Argolis whose choice was crucial because of its proximity to Nafplio , a small town about which we had heard and read the most beautiful things. Maybe we expected too much from Argolis and Nafplio itself, so when we arrived there, the excitement was absent, and we didn't experience it sensationally. But to avoid any confusion, I must say that Nafplio does not lack beauty and charm! Nafplio- Paw traveller It is actually a charming town with narrow stone-paved streets where the Venetian influence is clearly expressed in the architecture. It is also adorned by three fortresses, Akronafplion from the 4th century BC, Burtzi built by the Venetians, and Palamidi from...

 When you say Montenegro, most people think of summer, Budva, Herceg Novi, Kotor, and other famous places, but if you thought that the best thing that Montenegro has to offer is only the coast, think again! Skadar Lake- Paw traveller Looking for places where nature is simply nature, fascinating and beautiful on its own, we tend to fantasize about faraway exotic destinations, imagine the vast Argentinean pastures, the rugged landscapes, or the layered mountains of Winnikunka, and often forget that beautiful and unique places can be found much closer than it seems to us. If you know how to enjoy life, you will find beauty in all the places you stay long enough, no matter how small and often completely uninteresting at first glance. One evening, completely unplanned, we also found such an ordinary but beautiful place that we decided to travel for one week. The choice fell entirely by chance on Gornji Sustaš, a small village at the foot of Rumija .  We found accommodation in this ...

Lush vegetation, the mighty Danube, bountiful vineyards, and the legend of the sad love of two young people who firmly decided that when they can no longer live, they will be together forever, even in death. Yes, it's all Janda! Where is Janda? Janda- Paw traveller Janda is waiting for you at the foot of Koševac hill on a slope that reaches the very bank of the river Danube. A bit sleepy but rustically beautiful in its original way. It reminds us of what most of us, while we were chasing urban facilities, cafes, restaurants, a well-organized promenades...for the weekend, forgot that it exists and that it can be pleasant and relaxing to spend a day in a village without facilities, surrounded only by nature, lush greenery teeming with life, birds and wild animals. Janda is a paradise for those who love long and endless nature walks, but also for fishermen and cyclists, and all those who have an exploratory spirit. There is nothing on Janda. There are no well-maintained roads, shops,...

Old Slankamen nestled on the "Sea" of Danube Wineries, čarde- small restaurants on the river banks, the beach, hunt for Hun treasure, dark legends from the past, hammam, church more than 500 years old, remains of fortresses built by the Celts, salt water spring... Do you really need more reasons to visit Stari Slankamen?  We didn't, and... Paw traveller Thinking that morning located in Slankamenacki Vinogradi, where we could go for having a coffee and possibly lunch, we headed towards Stari Slankamen . The road is solid, and the landscape beside the road is beautiful. Orchards, meadows, fields on all sides, and then completely unexpectedly, the road passes through an earthen gorge and the view bursts from the top of the serpentine to Stari Slankamen . If you didn't know you are in Serbia, you would think it was the sea! Oh, oh, the wide Danube , the flat Srem , and the Tisa flow in nearby, so the width seems even wider. And if it happens that the Danube attracts thund...

Ljubovija- Paw traveller When we left for Ljubovia, I didn't expect anything, so maybe that's why I got so much. I don't know how to describe what delighted me so much in this part of Serbia, but the excitement was certainly awakened by the river Drina. Ljubovija is beautiful , so ordinary but warmhearted and friendly because of the people who live there. Just like that, as soon as you step into the streets of Ljubovija, you feel welcome as if you are a part of this small town, almost like a local. Ljubovija is for those travelers who enjoy being by the water , for those who like an active vacation with fishing or rafting, but still like to have access to urban facilities. For true adventurers who push the boundaries, nearby is the canyon of the river Trešnjica , a natural asset of exceptional importance, where you can see griffon vultures , which, apart from here, are only living in the canyon of Uvac. The second most important inhabitant of this canyon is the fish Huche...

  A full-day excursion along the untrodden paths of the Srem district, why not? Slankamenački Vinogradi- Paw traveller For all adventurers with or without a pet, who like to explore and visit places that are off the tourist maps, a tour of the hills and fields on the slopes of Fruška Gora can be a real pleasure and an opportunity to completely surrender to nature. Hidden paths above the village of Slankamenački Vinogradi that wind between vineyards and orchards offer the possibility of easy and relaxing walks, after which you will feel completely relieved from all the stress and bustle of city life for a long time. Slankamenački Vinogradi is a village with about 250 inhabitants, mostly Slovaks. What is interesting is that the name of the village itself was not given because of the proximity of the village's old and new Slankamen, but the village got it from the "slankamenka" grape variety. Slankamenka or Plovdina is an old Balkan grape variety that is most often used fo...
