Romans of Pompeii certainly knew how to manage water.

Archaeologists have counted 316 crossing stones in Pompeii, roughly 20 times more than in any other Roman city!

🇬🇷 There is a distinct, poetic charm that sets the Ionian island of Corfu entirely apart from the rest of Greece.

While the Cyclades are famous for their barren landscapes and stark white walls, Corfu is a lush, emerald paradise shaped by centuries of Venetian, French, and British rule. It is a destination wrapped in a romantic magic that somehow keeps calling you back year after year, offering the perfect intersection of sophisticated European elegance, raw nature, and authentic Greek hospitality.

To truly unlock the soul of the island, you need to immerse yourself in its diverse landscapes. Begin your journey inside the UNESCO-protected Corfu Town. Walking through its labyrinth of tall, pastel-hued apartment blocks and narrow stone alleys, known locally as kantounia, feels exactly like stepping into a hidden neighborhood in Venice or Naples. Once you have taken in the history, make your way northwest to the legendary shores of Paleokastritsa. This dramatic coastline features deep, jagged bays where dense pine forests tumble directly into impossibly clear, translucent turquoise waters that are perfect for afternoon boat excursions.

As the day draws to a close, you have two spectacular options to watch the landscape transform. You can travel to the sheer vertical clay cliffs of Loggas Beach to watch the sun sink directly beneath the horizon line of the Ionian Sea. Alternatively, make the winding drive up to the mountain village of Pelekas to stand at Kaiser's Throne. Built as a personal retreat for Kaiser Wilhelm II, this panoramic lookout offers breathtaking, unobstructed views of the island's rolling olive groves and distant coastlines.

Finally, no journey here is complete without diving deep into Corfu's unique culinary heritage. Because of its history, the local tavernas swap out standard Greek fare for iconic island comfort foods. Be sure to order a steaming clay bowl of pastitsada, tender meat braised in a rich, deeply spiced red-wine sauce served over thick Bucatini pasta or sample sofrito, an incredibly aromatic dish of tender veal simmered in an intense garlic, parsley, and white wine reduction. It is a culinary and sensory legacy that encapsulates a timeless way of life.

Most people have the wrong picture of the Midwest.

They think of flat highways, cornfields, chain restaurants and long drives between places they actually want to visit.

I get it. That version exists. But it is not the whole story.

There is another Midwest that shows up when you get off the interstate.

Brick streets in old river towns. Harbor villages along Lake Superior and Lake Michigan.

German, Dutch, Swiss, Swedish and Norwegian communities that still hold onto pieces of the countries their ancestors left behind.

Small towns with windmills, wineries, lighthouses, bookstores, old courthouses, ore docks, bluffs, festivals, bakeries and main streets that still feel alive.

Some of these places were shaped by mining.

Others by river trade, railroads, fishing, farming, immigration or frontier history.

A few look like they belong in Europe.

Others feel like the kind of American town people assume disappeared a long time ago.

I wrote about 20 small towns that show a side of the Midwest most travelers are never told about.

🇮🇹 When charting a luxury escape to Southern Italy, it is easy to assume you know what five-star hospitality looks like. But hidden away among the ancient olive groves of Fasano, Borgo Egnazia completely redefines the concept of a resort stay.

Stepping onto this magnificent property is less like arriving at a standard hotel reception and far more like traveling back in time, stepping directly into the stone walls of a grand medieval palace or a majestic castle.

The entire destination carries a poetic, cinematic quality that feels lifted from the pages of an old fairy tale. What makes Borgo Egnazia so unique is its architectural execution; it was built from scratch to perfectly mimic a traditional, fortified Puglian village. The design is a masterclass in local craftsmanship, showcasing towering white limestone structures, dramatic sweeping arches, and intricate stonework that catches the sun.

As you wander through its quiet, labyrinthine lanes, you are wrapped in a dreamy world filled with dancing butterflies and cascades of vibrant climbing flowers. It stands as a truly breathtaking sanctuary, offering a level of visual romance and timeless elegance that is completely unlike any hotel you will ever encounter.

When it comes to destination dining, some restaurants rely entirely on their menus to draw a crowd. But on the sun-bleached coast of Puglia, Italy, there is a venue where the setting itself is a masterpiece of natural engineering. Tucked into the historic winding streets of Polignano a Mare, Grotta Palazzese is a legendary cave restaurant perched dramatically inside a hollowed-out limestone cliff, delivering what is easily one of the most breathtaking and unforgettable dining experiences in all of Italy.

The history of the cave is just as fascinating as its modern allure; local nobility used this exact marine cavern for exclusive banquets as far back as the 1700s. Today, stepping onto the dimly lit wooden dining terrace feels entirely surreal. The cavern wraps around the tables like a massive stone amphitheater, opening up to unobstructed, panoramic views of the deep blue Adriatic Sea.

As you dine on elevated Mediterranean seafood, the sound of the tide echoing off the ancient cave walls creates an intoxicating, deeply romantic atmosphere. While it represents a significant financial splurge, it stands as an absolute rite of passage for travelers seeking the intersection of dramatic Italian geography and luxury gastronomy.
