Syracuse might be Sicily’s best-kept secret 🇮🇹 Would you add it to your Italy itinerary or have you already been?!
I lived in Siricusa, on Ortigia, for a semester in the 1990s. It was incredibly beautiful and one of the best experiences of my life. Thank you for this video! It feels like it was just yesterday I was walking where you are.
Continuously growing quality. Well done, guys.👏
Love this type of content! Yes! I’m so curious about Sicily! Hope there’s more to come!
Just curious did you go there from Rome? Flew?
She’s my favorite travel person! I book only after reviewing her videos! Everyone asks how I know so much and it’s my secret 🤫
Anastasia, thank you for sharing.
If you ever get the chance, please come visit us! I would love for you to come to my country, Bangladesh, and explore beautiful places like Sylhet, Rajshahi, Bandarban, and Cox’s Bazar. Did you know that Cox’s Bazar is the longest natural sea beach in the world? We also have the Sundarbans, the largest mangrove forest in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Bangladesh is rich with natural beauty — waterfalls (jhorna), tea gardens, green villages, and warm-hearted people. And yes, Bangla is considered one of the sweetest languages in the world. I truly believe you should visit Bangladesh one day — it will be an unforgettable experience🥰🥰
Thanks for Reply, There are many amazing places to visit in Bangladesh. You must explore thaanchi, Saint Martin's Island, debota-mokh, Tindu Bandarban, Sreemangal's tea gardens, Ratargul Swamp Forest, Kaptai Lake, Sajek Valley, and Rangamati. You can also enjoy delicious foods like Kacchi Biryani, Tehari, a variety of small fish curries and mashed dishes (borta), pitha (traditional rice cakes), and other unique cultural foods.
If you're traveling in Bangladesh, many local travel groups can help you find affordable or high-quality hotels and provide guides for a better experience.
Bangladesh has rich mix of nature, culture, unique history. 🥰
Beautiful, great video
Please…enough wannabe Barbie's..such vanity is so boring.
