Ilparadisoterrestre: the most picturesque places of Sicily
“Italy without Sicily leaves in its soul only a vague image. Only here is the key to the whole, ”Goethe wrote about Sicily in his Italian Travel Journey.
Charming bays and grape groves, volcanoes and through sea caves, sea blue and green forests – the nature of Sicily is as beautiful as diverse. The island owes its unique natural landscape to the regular eruptions of Mount Etna, the largest active volcano in Europe, located near Catania.
To the north of the largest island of the Mediterranean Sea is the Aeolian Archipelago, or Aeolian Islands, centered in the Lipari commune of the island of the same name.

How not to get poisoned in Egypt and what to do in case of poisoning
Poisoning tourists in Egypt happens very often. This problem is much larger than it seems. Firstly, most vacationers are treated independently, which makes it impossible to collect at least some statistics. Secondly, alcohol is often mistakenly considered the cause of stomach upsets.

We will talk about the most common cases of “divorce.” The first divorce is beach towels. In most beach hotels, tourists are given special cards upon check-in. On these cards, tourists receive beach towels. In terms of living, it is clearly stated that tourists must hand over all cards at the end of their stay, and a fine is imposed for the loss of cards or towels. The fines are large – from 10 to 30 dollars, which in no way matches the quality of the towels, which can often be called “floor rags”.
Naturally, the situation of losing your towels is very beneficial for the hotel, since it sells a used towel worth $ 2 for $ 20. Continue reading
