With a diverse mix of cultures, from street food to avant-garde art, Berlin attracts visitors from all over the world with its inclusiveness, making it a vibrant city that connects the past with the future.
Located in the middle of the Adriatic Sea, Croatia's Silba, part of Zadar County, is an uninhabited island (with only a handful of inhabitants during the summer months) known for its tranquility and natural beauty. The island is dotted with dense pine forests and olive groves, and the coastline is dotted with crystal clear waters and pebble beaches, known as the "Emerald of the Adriatic". Motorized vehicles are prohibited, so visitors can enjoy the pristine ecology of the island by exploring on foot or by bicycle. Silba features fresh seafood, homemade olive oil and local wines for travelers looking for a quiet, luxurious experience. Summer is the best season to visit for both water activities and traditional Dalmatian experiences, making it Croatia's hidden vacation gem.
