Corfu, still untouched by the clutches of mass tourism, is a haven of authentic Greek hospitality. The north-central part of this island is a treasure trove of contrasts—gyros kiosks sit comfortably next to upscale beach bars, all at prices that won’t break the bank. September is the sweet spot to visit; the blistering summer heat mellows, and a refreshing breeze caresses your legs while you sip on a kumquat cocktail.
Whether you crave the adventure of charter boat rides to untamed beaches or the plush comfort of beach clubs, Corfu has it all. And whatever you do, carve out time for Corfu Town. The experience of tasting local dishes and wandering through its narrow, stall-lined streets in the evening is simply unforgettable!

South Korea has always been one of my favourite countries that I've ever been to, and I will always have a soft spot for this country.
Seoul has amazing things to do and see, from ancient palaces to modern skyscrapers, traditional markets to trendy boutiques, and mouthwatering street food and restaurants in alleyways frequented only by the locals.
Here is my one-week itinerary in Seoul. I've stayed in 3 different hotels during my stay, alternating between Myeongdong, Dongdaemun and Mapo. It allowed me to discover plenty of things in each neighbourhood. And I have also included some tours that I went on, which was incredibly amazing!
I hope this itinerary will help you find your way to the best places in Seoul, just like I did and fell in love with this city all over again.
Save this guide for your next trip to South Korea!
