Albania in 7 days: the Mediterranean Riviera that costs half of Croatia
Albania is what Croatia was in 2008 and Italy was in 1995. Turquoise Ionian Sea, UNESCO museum-cities, alps three hours from the beach, serious food, and prices that look like typos. Most travelers enter visa-free for 90 days. A beachfront hotel in Ksamil runs €60 when Hvar charges €180 and Capri asks €250. This piece is the real 7-day itinerary, with a side-by-side price table that shows exactly where the savings live.

Quy Nhơn: the Vietnam nobody told you about (and it's about to become Da Nang)
In 2018, Da Nang was the "Phuket without the crowds." Today it has 60 five-star hotels, queues in Hoi An at 7 p.m. and beach Airbnbs at $180. Anyone who went during that short window between 2014 and 2018 saw the best of a Vietnamese city before mass tourism took over. That window closed. The next one opened 200km south, in Quy Nhơn, capital of Bình Định province. White-sand beaches with five people instead of five thousand. 11th-century Cham towers with no queue. Seafood at $6 with cold beer at a family restaurant. Direct flight Saigon-Phu Cat in 1h15. A five-star Anantara at half the price of its Da Nang equivalent. This is the story of a city that's three years behind on the development curve — and why that's a good thing for anyone traveling in 2026-2027.

Europe's most overrated destination: why Santorini became a tourist trap (and where to go in Greece instead)
Santorini stopped being a destination and turned into a backdrop. The island has 17,000 permanent residents and welcomes 2 million visitors a year, most of them crammed between July and August. In 2025 the Greek government created a €20 fee (about US$22) for cruise passengers just to try and contain the chaos. In Oia, 500 people fight for room on a narrow street only to photograph the sunset that has been on every Instagram feed since 2013. A decent hotel in high season runs €350-1,200 a night (US$385-1,320). The honest question: is it worth it? For most travellers, no. Four Greek islands — Milos, Folegandros, Naxos and Paros — deliver better beaches, more serious food and more authentic charm for a third of the price. This article compares them side by side and lays out the real 10-day Greece itinerary that skips Santorini entirely.
