Best kids playground near Düren: Bubenheimer Spieleland
Hi friends! Exactly a year ago we visited this fantastic place called Bubenheimer Spieleland. This is a perfect destination for kids of all ages and believe me parents will enjoy too. We tried almost everything, kids enjoyed so much and they cried when we said we need to go. First we explored the outdoor area and later explored the indoor area. If your kids are hungry there is a place where you can buy food & drinks. In this video you can see most of the outdoor part such as slides, adventure park etc.

Things to see and do in Vienna during Christmas
When we decided to visit Vienna our only goal was to enjoy in beautifully decorated town & Christmas markets. We spent 3 days exploring Vienna at Christmas and sadly 2 days traveling. Since we are Orthodox (we celebrate our Christmas in January) the best decision ever was to travel back home at January 25th. The roads were empty , we arrived home in 4 hours! And since our Christmas in not yet let`s say: Frohe Weihnachten! Which means “Merry Christmas”. If you are curious to see how Vienna looks like during holiday check our vlog from Vienna.

Timeless Monschau village in Germany- The Pearl Of The Eifel
Timeless Monschau village - The Pearl Of The Eifel
Currently updating!
Monschau is a small historical town in Germany, in the Eifel mountain range, a place where time seems to have stood still for over three centuries, situated just 2km across the Belgian border. A friend recommended me to visit Monschau as I asked her what near Nideggen is worth visiting. It is only 30 mins by car from Nideggen where we stayed for 2 days. Narrow cobblestoned streets lined with half-timbered houses, romantic lanes, medieval walls makes this town a perfect place for rest. I noticed on some houses Christmas decorations even though it was middle of May. It wasn't crowded with tourists as I expected so I managed to take a lot of photos. I will highlight top things to do in this cute little town.

25 hours hotel in Munich - The Royal Bavarian
25 hours hotel in Munich - The Royal Bavarian
In May 2019 I stayed in 25 Hours Hotels - The Royal Bavarian for 2 days with my family. Even though this was a payed collaboration I will give you my honest opinion about this hotel. It was really easy to find it, very modern hotel, beautifully designed. We came by car and there wasn't a free parking in front of the hotel. But near there is a garage where you can leave your car and it's safe in case you wonder can you leave your car there. For two days we payed around 30€.
The ancient village of Lindos on Rhodes, Greece
This beautiful village is located south of the capital. The medieval village itself is amazing, founded by the Dorians around 2000 BC. The village is totally pedestrianized and no vehicles are allowed on the paved streets of Lindos. Donkeys are the only way of transportation or by foot. You can walk through the village to the hill for the Acropolis. Streets are full of small shops, selling jewelry, clothes, souvenirs...
Rhodes - The island of the Knights
Trip to Rhodes was quite short, we stayed there only for half of day but enough to see the most beautiful parts of town.
A little about Rhodes
Rhodes is located in Aegean Sea and one of the largest of the Dodecanese islands. The city is popular around the world for its Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It was constructed to celebrate Rhodes' victory over the rules of Cyprus. This impressive giant statue was demolished during an earthquake, although parts of it were preserved, it was never rebuilt.

| The Three Windmills at Mandraki Harbour Rhodes |
These medieval windmills were used to ground the grain that came from commercial ships docking in the harbor. It is believed that once were 13-14 windmills, but most of them has disintegrated over time.
This is not my first time in Turkey but I must say this is one of the best hotels I've stayed so far. Turkey is famous for great hospitality, amazing resorts, food... This hotel is renovated 2014 I think and it has everything you need.
Hotel
Rixos Premium Tekirova is located 73km from Antalya airport, which is around 2h drive by bus. But it's worth it. Believe me!
Néa Ródha village in Chalkidiki
In the beginning of September we decided to visit this cute little village situated in Chalkidiki. It was a long drive (around 11 hours) and the weather was nice till we arrived in Greece. At some point we had to stop and wait till rain stops because it was impossible to drive. Anyways , in late hours , somewhere around 11pm we finally arrived. I was so exhausted but also so excited to explore this place.
About & history
Néa Ródha is a peaceful village, built at the narrowest point of the Athos penisula, where Xerxes, king of Persia (480 BC) opened a canal for his fleet to pass through. Walking through the village you will see a lot of nice houses with beautiful gardens, a lot of fish taverns and there is also a great bakery.
Néa Ródha is named after the original village called Roda. Rodi , meaning pomegranate , is the root of the word Roda which means "many pomegranates" . And Nea meaning new is the meaning of the first word. This due to an abundance pomegranate trees in the original village. This can be seen even today in the new village, where many people still have pomegranate trees in their backyard. Fishing, tourism and agriculture are the people’s main occupations.
