An Ancient City with a Modern Side

Set on Croatia’s south coast, Dubrovnik blends rich history with a stylish, modern vibe. Inside its famous city walls, medieval houses, palaces, and churches sit alongside chic boutiques, trendy bars, modern hotels, and lively restaurants. And with the beaches and islands of the Adriatic Riviera just nearby, the sea is never far away.

Dubrovnik offers a great mix of beaches, many of them pebbly, like Banje Beach just below the old town walls. It’s perfect for swimming, enjoying seafront cafés, and trying out watersports. There are also plenty of nearby islands with quiet sandy coves for more peaceful beach days.

The old town is a UNESCO World Heritage site, where Renaissance and Baroque architecture tell the story of the city’s past. Highlights include St Saviour Church, the Franciscan Monastery with one of Europe’s oldest pharmacies, and the impressive Rector’s Palace.

For an easy day trip, hop on a short boat ride to Lokrum Island, a green, pine-covered escape ideal for swimming, sunbathing, and scenic walks among botanical gardens and monastery ruins.

Istanbul is a perfect destination for a city break or a weekend getaway, offering a unique mix of history, culture, gastronomy and stunning scenery — all at a budget-friendly price. As the only city in the world located on two continents, it combines the best of Europe and Asia, divided by the Bosphorus Strait. The historic heart of the city is on the European side, especially in Sultanahmet and Taksim, where many of the main sights and best accommodation options are located.

The city is home to several UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including iconic landmarks such as the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and the historic city walls. The impressive Topkapi Palace, once home to the Ottoman sultans, is another must-see. Exploring the Asian side is quick and easy by metro, or you can take a scenic ferry across the Bosphorus, enjoying views of the Maiden’s Tower and the Princes’ Islands along the way. With vibrant markets, excellent food and rich cultural heritage, Istanbul is an unforgettable and affordable choice for a short city weekend.

Mykonos is one of the most popular destinations in the Greek Cyclades, located in the heart of the Aegean Sea. Since the 1960s, when artists and bohemians first discovered the island, it has grown into one of Greece’s most stylish holiday spots, known for its cosmopolitan atmosphere, beautiful beaches and vibrant nightlife.

The island’s main town, Mykonos Town (Chora), is famous for its maze of narrow streets, whitewashed houses with blue details, boutique shops and excellent restaurants. During the day, visitors relax on the island’s beaches, while at night the town comes alive with beach clubs, cocktail bars and lively nightlife that attracts visitors from all over the world.

Mykonos is also a great base for island hopping. From the harbour, you can easily visit nearby islands such as Santorini or the historic island of Delos, making it easy to explore more of the Cyclades during the same trip.

Travelling from Spain is simple, with some direct flights from Madrid. If there are no direct options available, the island is also easily reached with a short connection via Athens.
