]]> Most tourists coming to Ayia Napa are there for its beautiful beaches and amazing nightlife, but the real magic happens once you step out of the city. Many of Cyprus’ most stunning attractions are located close to Ayia Napa, offering a wide variety of day trip destinations worth exploring.

Cape Greco

Cape Greco National Park is located a short ride away from Ayia Napa, and a visit to this resort town is incomplete if you don’t check it out. It’s home to some of the most stunning natural wonders that Cyprus has in store, from sea caves and Blue Lagoon to the nearby Konnos Beach.

Famagusta & Salamis

Ayia Napa is a part of the Famagusta District, and you’ll find many tours offering a trip to Famagusta and the ancient city of Salamis. The once-popular resort town Varosha is known as a “ghost town” and you can explore it during your visit, along with the old town of Famagusta, the home to the Venetian Walls, Saint Nicolas Church, and Othello Castle.

Nicosia

Cyprus is so small that you can embark on a day trip to pretty much any major city from Ayia Napa, so why not take a moment to visit the country’s capital? Nicosia is located just an hour away from this resort town, and it’s one of the best places to visit if you want to delve into the island’s rich history.

]]> If you’re planning a trip to Rome in the foreseeable future, you may be excited to hear that there are plenty of interesting and charming locations around the capital that are easy to access in a few hours or less. Italy is full of natural and historical sites worth fitting into any itinerary, regardless of what type of traveler you consider yourself to be. Read on to learn more about some of the best day trips worth taking from Rome.

Tivoli

45 minutes east of Rome lies Tivoli, a small town and comune known for its magnificent gardens and historic villas. Most famous among them are Villa d’Este and Villa Adriana, both of which date back hundreds of years and are now designated UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Beyond its villas, Tivoli has a lovely historical center filled with cobblestone streets and authentic local cuisine.

Ostia Antica

Ostia Antica is an ancient port city located about an hour from Rome by train. Today, the area is a large archaeological site and home to several remarkably well preserved ruins including an amphitheater and the Baths of Neptune. The neighborhood of Ostia also has several free beaches and plenty of bars and restaurants for those looking to relax after exploring the site.

Orvieto

Orvieto is a hilltop town located about halfway between Rome and Florence. It takes about an hour to reach Orvieto by train, but the journey is incredibly scenic and makes for a peaceful break from the hustle and bustle of the capital. Once there, be sure to visit the impressive Orvieto Cathedral and explore the underground city, a maze of caves and tunnels that hold secrets dating back centuries.

]]> Like all Italian cities, Naples has its charm, but it’s worth visiting for its surrounding attractions. Many charming spots can be found in its immediate surroundings and here are some of the best day-trip destinations you shouldn’t miss during your visit.

Mount Vesuvius

Mount Vesuvius is located east of Naples and a visit to this city is incomplete if you don’t take some time to explore it. Its eruption famously destroyed the Roman city of Pompeii and seeing it in the flash will make you feel like you’re visiting ancient history first-hand.

Capri

This tiny island in the Bay of Naples is one of Italy’s most iconic resort towns, frequently visited by the rich and famous. It’s home to many upscale hotels and designer fashion stores, but its natural beauty still remains its main draw. Even if your budget is limited, you can still enjoy its sun-kissed beaches, rugged landscapes, and natural cave the Blue Grotto.

Sorrento

Charming little towns are scattered all around Italy and Sorrento is one of the very best you’ll find in Naples’ close proximity. It will win you over with its historic center, sweeping views of the sea, and ceramics shops that it’s best known for.

Lake Bled

Lake Bled is the most Instagram-friendly spot in all of Slovenia, and it only takes an hour to reach it from Ljubljana. It will win you over with its beautiful scenery, including the mountains and forest that surround it and a tiny church located on a tiny island in its middle.

Postojna Cave

Slovenia has many natural wonders in store, and its caves are truly top of the line. Postojna Cave is a case in point, and it’s located less than an hour away from Ljubljana. This karst cave system is Slovenia’s No. 1 underground attraction, and it hosts everything from exhibitions to concerts.

Piran

The Slovenian Istria has a few pretty charming towns in store, and if you’re not sure which one to explore first, Piran is the way to go. It’s one of the most beautiful cities on Slovenia’s Adriatic coast and it’s worth the visit for its Venetian architecture alone.

]]> Day trips are a great way to keep your passion for travel alive no matter how packed your schedule is. Even if you’re super busy, you can always set a day aside to hit the road. But it’s impossible to do it if you’re broke. Luckily, there are many ways to save money on your day trip and it all starts with choosing the right destination.

Staying Close

Transportation costs will be the biggest expense of your day trip and you can keep them on the lower side by picking a nearby destination. The further you go, the more money you’ll spend on gas and tolls, so it’s always a good idea to stay close by, especially if you’re hitting the road alone.

Solo vs. Guided Trip

Guided day trips sometimes tend to be more affordable when you’re traveling solo. Check if a local travel agency has any interesting offers on their calendar and see if the price fits into your budget. In addition to being cheaper, they can save you a lot of time and energy on planning.

Familiar Destination

Visiting destinations that you’re already familiar with is a great money saver. You’ll know exactly how much time you need to get there and where to go since you’ve already had a chance to discover the most affordable spots to check out during your previous visits.

]]> Like most major Australian cities, Adelaide has many amazing attractions in store, but the real magic starts once you explore its surroundings. If you’re staying in this city for long enough to embark on a day trip or two, here are some of the best destinations to take into consideration.

Kangaroo Island

There are ferries taking you from Adelaide to Kangaroo Island and it takes about 2.5 hours to get there, but it’s a ride worth taking. Australia’s third-largest island will win you over with its natural beauty and it’s best known for being home to little penguin colonies.

Fleurieu Peninsula

If you’re exploring Australia by car, your road trip will be incomplete without a ride down the coast from Adelaide to the Fleurieu Peninsula. There are many beautiful beaches scattered along its rugged coastline and the road may take you to some of the most notable wine regions in this area, starting with McLaren Vale.

Barossa Valley

Speaking of day trips every wine lover should take from Adelaide, a visit to Barossa Valley is a must. Beyond its rolling hills and scenic vistas, you’ll stumble upon around 200 wineries, which are known for the local Shiraz grapes. They offer everything from wine tours to cellar-door tastings.

]]> Day trips are a great way to shake up your daily routine and make traveling a part of your monthly or even weekly schedule. They’re always more fun—and affordable—when you do them with other people, but it’s extremely important to pick the right kind of people to join in the fun.

Common Ground

The tricky thing about day trips is that you have a limited amount of time on your hands and it’s important to use it wisely. It’s important to plan this kind of trip with someone who has similar interests and wants to explore the same attractions because you’ll have an easier time finding common ground.

Perfect Timing

Timing is the trickiest thing about day trips and you can only plan them with people who are free at the same time. Before making any concrete plans, check in with your friends to see if your schedules align so your journey wouldn’t interfere with the plans they made on the side.

Guided Tours

Going on a day trip with your friends always feels great, but it’s not always an option. If you’re struggling to find friends to travel with, joining a guided tour is your best bet, and you may end up making some new friends along the way.

]]> Our travel habits happen to change with the seasons, and we’ll approach our trips much differently once winter arrives. Most people only set aside enough time for a traditional winter holiday, but if you want to sneak some day trips in, these three are a good place to start.

Christmas Markets

Christmas markets are a staple of the holiday season, and chances are you have one in your city or somewhere nearby. Set aside a whole day to pay it a visit, so you could have enough time to explore all the tiny festive wonders it has in store, from local food to Christmas-themed gifts.

Skiing Resorts

Skiing resorts often come with a high price tag, and spending an entire winter holiday in one isn’t an option for everyone. If you can’t afford it, but still want to do some winter sports this winter, a day trip to a local skiing resort will do the trick.

Museum Visits

The tricky thing about traveling in the winter is that you have to deal with chilly weather. If you’re trying to avoid it, indoor attractions are always a good idea. You can spend a day exploring museums in your city, but checking out bookstores and new cafés is also an option.

Australia is especially great for day-tripping, and there are many stunning attractions near its major cities, including Melbourne. Here are three amazing day-trip destinations that you should consider exploring while visiting this city.

Yarra Valley

Wine lovers won’t be disappointed by Melbourne, especially if they step out of the city and discover many vineries it has in store. Yarra Valley is best for this kind of journey, but you don’t have to be obsessed with wine to enjoy it. You can also dive into its beautiful nature and book a hot air balloon ride to see it from up above.

Phillip Island

Another great spot for nature lovers visiting Melbourne, the Phillip Island is located just 140 km southeast of the city. Most tourists visit it to check out the colony of little penguins that inhabit the island and enjoy their sunset parade.

Great Ocean Road

If you love road tripping and going on long rides with scenic views, you should make sure to go down the Great Ocean Road while in Australia. You’ll spot some of the country’s most stunning natural wonders along the way, including the Twelve Apostles.

]]> Day trips are usually cheaper than all other kinds of travel, but expenses can run high if you’re not careful enough. If you’re looking for a way to embark on a day trip without breaking the bank, here are common mistakes that you should avoid when plotting an affordable adventure.

Transportation Costs

Even if you’re traveling for a single day transportation costs can run high. If you’re day-tripping in your home country, get a few friends or family members to join you and share the expenses. When it comes to international day trips, explore all the transportation options such as trains, buses, and ride-sharing apps and decide for yourself which one costs the least.

Perfect Plan

You’ll be running on a tight schedule during your day trip, so you won’t have a lot of room for improvisation if you’re trying to save money. Do your research beforehand, so you could discover cafés, restaurants, museums, and other attractions that you can actually afford.

Guided Tours

If you don’t want to do all the planning yourself and don’t have to research all the different transportation costs, guided tours might be your best bet. They’re a good option for solo travelers, who don’t have anyone to share the costs with, but you can skip them if you’re not one of them.

The tricky thing about day trips is that you have a limited amount of time on your hands and it’s important to use it wisely. It’s important to plan this kind of trip with someone who has similar interests and wants to explore the same attractions because you’ll have an easier time finding common ground.

Perfect Timing

Timing is the trickiest thing about day trips and you can only plan them with people who are free at the same time. Before making any concrete plans, check in with your friends to see if your schedules align so your journey wouldn’t interfere with the plans they made on the side.

Guided Tours

Going on a day trip with your friends always feels great, but it’s not always an option. If you’re struggling to find friends to travel with, joining a guided tour is your best bet, and you may end up making some new friends along the way.

]]> Our travel habits happen to change with the seasons, and we’ll approach our trips much differently once winter arrives. Most people only set aside enough time for a traditional winter holiday, but if you want to sneak some day trips in, these three are a good place to start.

Christmas Markets

Christmas markets are a staple of the holiday season, and chances are you have one in your city or somewhere nearby. Set aside a whole day to pay it a visit, so you could have enough time to explore all the tiny festive wonders it has in store, from local food to Christmas-themed gifts.

Skiing Resorts

Skiing resorts often come with a high price tag, and spending an entire winter holiday in one isn’t an option for everyone. If you can’t afford it, but still want to do some winter sports this winter, a day trip to a local skiing resort will do the trick.

Museum Visits

The tricky thing about traveling in the winter is that you have to deal with chilly weather. If you’re trying to avoid it, indoor attractions are always a good idea. You can spend a day exploring museums in your city, but checking out bookstores and new cafés is also an option.

]]> Day trips allow you to get a new appreciation of the city you’re visiting and fully dive into its surroundings. Australia is especially great for day-tripping, and there are many stunning attractions near its major cities, including Melbourne. Here are three amazing day-trip destinations that you should consider exploring while visiting this city.

Yarra Valley

Wine lovers won’t be disappointed by Melbourne, especially if they step out of the city and discover many vineries it has in store. Yarra Valley is best for this kind of journey, but you don’t have to be obsessed with wine to enjoy it. You can also dive into its beautiful nature and book a hot air balloon ride to see it from up above.

Phillip Island

Another great spot for nature lovers visiting Melbourne, the Phillip Island is located just 140 km southeast of the city. Most tourists visit it to check out the colony of little penguins that inhabit the island and enjoy their sunset parade.

Great Ocean Road

If you love road tripping and going on long rides with scenic views, you should make sure to go down the Great Ocean Road while in Australia. You’ll spot some of the country’s most stunning natural wonders along the way, including the Twelve Apostles.

]]> Day trips are usually cheaper than all other kinds of travel, but expenses can run high if you’re not careful enough. If you’re looking for a way to embark on a day trip without breaking the bank, here are common mistakes that you should avoid when plotting an affordable adventure.

Transportation Costs

Even if you’re traveling for a single day transportation costs can run high. If you’re day-tripping in your home country, get a few friends or family members to join you and share the expenses. When it comes to international day trips, explore all the transportation options such as trains, buses, and ride-sharing apps and decide for yourself which one costs the least.

Perfect Plan

You’ll be running on a tight schedule during your day trip, so you won’t have a lot of room for improvisation if you’re trying to save money. Do your research beforehand, so you could discover cafés, restaurants, museums, and other attractions that you can actually afford.

Guided Tours

If you don’t want to do all the planning yourself and don’t have to research all the different transportation costs, guided tours might be your best bet. They’re a good option for solo travelers, who don’t have anyone to share the costs with, but you can skip them if you’re not one of them.
