Results for History
One of the cities that inspires me the most in this life. It is one of the most special places that has completely stolen my heart and I am always eager to visit.
Palermo is a symphony of sunlight and shadow, where ancient stones whisper secrets to the sapphire sky. Here, the heart of Sicily beats with a timeless rhythm, resonating through golden domes and crumbling facades. In the Palatine Chapel, mosaics glisten like a celestial map, guiding souls through a cosmos of faith and wonder. The markets, vibrant and alive, are a fragrant collage of spices and citrus, each stall a verse in an epic poem of flavors.
Streets wind like verses of an ancient epic, leading to hidden piazzas where the laughter of children mingles with the echo of history. Palatial splendor and humble dwellings coexist in a harmonious dance, a testament to the city’s enduring spirit. As the sun sets over the Tyrrhenian Sea, Palermo’s skyline transforms into a silhouette of dreams, where the past and present meld into a twilight of eternal beauty. Here, every stone, every breath, is a stanza in the grand poem of existence, inviting all who wander through its embrace to become part of its endless story.

Welcome to my hometown Athens, a city that seamlessly blends ancient history with modern vibrancy. This three-day adventure is designed to help you make the most of your time in this captivating Greek capital. From exploring the iconic Acropolis and its awe-inspiring monuments to savoring traditional cuisine in charming neighborhoods, and immersing yourself in Athens' lively nightlife, you'll discover the diverse facets that make this city truly special.
This guide is divided into the following categories:
1. what to do for each day (archeological sites, neighborhoods you need to visit, activities to do)
2. where to eat & drink (includes 6 restaurants, 6 all-day cafes/bars),
3. where to party (nightlife in Athens).
It is suitable for both winter and summer visitors.
A curated list of recommendations like this unlike an itinerary offers flexibility and allows travelers to choose based on their available time. However, the way I listed the activities by day allows for a manageable time-based plan.
It includes a map and insight notes such as a place description, the address, the opening hours, the ticket prices, the official website to book your tickets (If needed), and some tips for your visit.
Make sure to also check my Athens Riviera FREE Guide, if you are visiting Athens during the summer.

In 2014 as a junior in college, I was roped into a two-month summer trip to Istanbul, Turkey. Growing up loving travel but struggling with history, I had no clue what I was getting into—I couldn’t even show you Turkey on a map. So it came as a complete surprise that 60 days in this city would make me more familiar with it than my own hometown and grow a love I didn’t know was possible.
I could never up all I learned and love about Istanbul, but for cities like this that I know well it’s pretty easy to identify the places I would revisit today if I could, and that’s why I’m starting my #khowdozen Lists. Consider this a starting place for how to engage with Istanbul as a first-time visitor; perhaps you could even squeeze these twelve experiences into a long layover! This isn’t a list of the top sites or best fine dining; it’s the honest opinion of a girl who spent two months in the simple Kadikoy neighborhood and grew to love the Turkish people and the ways they connect, eat, and explore their beloved city.
