Höchst, Germany - alt-Höchst is a charming old town hidden in a Frankfurt’s district which is not really known much to visitors as some other parts of Höchst are not so attractive. Here next to the Schlossplatz there is a weekly market (real one!) with all kinds of seasonal products and a flee market. Old streets have a lot of character as they look to be untouched by the passing time. If you are to explore the real German Old Town, skip the joke of the sterile “Neue Alte Stadt” in the center of Frankfurt and get to the Alt-Höchst instead! #spot2travel #spot2travelingermany #höchst #altestadt #medieval #schlossfest #lostintime #oldeurope #europetrip #flowerlife

Monasteries on the Holy Mountain of ATHOS, Greece - a mysterious place lost in time and on a map of Europe. This is a special territory in Greece and the EU, where women are not allowed, while men need a special permission to visit, so the amendment needed to be done concerning this place to the European treaty which assumes the freedom of movement. There are twenty male monasteries here: 17 Greek ones (with service done in old Greek language), 1 Serbian, 1 Bulgarian and 1 Russian. They all use the old calendar, 14 days different from our current one, and a special time zone. When the sun sets down, all monasteries change the time to be the midnight till the morning. #spot2travel #spot2travelingreece #halkidiki #greece #ellada #aegean #maritime
Being on a journey - being a discoverer of a road or an occasion - is all about letting yourself go with the life flow and becoming an observer for something we cannot usually catch while rushing through the routine of week-to-week days. It is not about following a plan of ticking boxes in a to-visit list, having all the right clothes for all occasions or always looking appropriate. What does it mean for me then? Letting yourself travel is when we are able to notice the unknown, the unpredictable, the unheard of. Living the life, seeing the mountainous valleys spreading out after the road turn on a casual tourist ride or suddenly understanding the laid-back nature of casual actions which never really make sense to us until we witness them. No planning, not demanding the things to happen is when we are granted a rare chance to experience the beautiful luxury of being surprised by little things and feel belonging, feel alive. #spot2travel #stereosummer #withaview #whytravel #followyourdreams

RIVA del GARDA, Italy - all the variety of Europe is in one place at magnificent lake Garda: cities, nature, winds, sunlight and food #spot2travel #spot2travelinitaly #lakegarda #italy #withaview
KOBLENZ, Germany - the comfy-size city can offer everything one needs for a good weekend: green hills for hiking, cable car, fortresses and castles, great food and wines and friendly locals. The place on the photo is called Deutsches Eck, and this is where the river Mosel flows into the Rhine. I could easily spend many days in the area. #spot2travel #everythinghappensforariesling #spot2travelingermany #withaview #stereosummer #koblenz #gutenmorgen

Mont-Saint-Michel, France - witnessing this treasure getting tightly hugged by the rising spring tide without planning is like winning a lottery. The days when this natural phenomenon happens follow the full moon and new moon in months near spring and autumn equinox (i.e. March and September). There are no days to see the abbey becoming an island in June at all. Inside of the town there are usual medieval streets, shops, a post office and so on. The calendar with the best days for visiting to see the high tide is available online. #spot2travel #spot2travelinfrance #bretagne #normandie #montsaintmichel #springtide #marée
PAIMPOL, Brittany, France - sailers, fishermen boats, evening sun reflections are all the synonyms of a great day #spot2travel #spot2travelinfrance #bretagne #paimpol #sailaway #withaview #alltheroadswetake
