Our winners today 🍍


🥇 Blue Eye, discover Albania's blue paradise by @triplug

Blue Eye is located in the village of Muzine not very far from Sarande resort (20-30minutes depending on traffic), so if you ever plan a holiday here don't forget about Blue Eye, it's definitely worth it. You can get to the Blue Eye either by personal car (as we did and it would be the best option), bus directly to the Blue Eye does not exist but only to Gjirokastra or taxi (it is quite expensive to use taxi here), now it is up to your budget.

🥈 Visiting the city of tragic love, going through history and beautiful landscapes by @aurzeq

Today we want to take you to the magical city of Verona, Italy. Especially around the time of Valentine's Day, Verona is regarded throughout Italy as the city of lovers, and walking through the streets of the city you can catch this atmosphere. Of course, one of the main reasons why the city is considered a must-visit destination for all those who want to celebrate their love is the story of Romeo and Juliet. The two famous lovers were in fact, according to William Shakespeare's story, part of two historical families of the city of Verona, the Montagues, and the Capulets. I must admit that I am not too much of a fan of these kinds of events, such as Valentine's Day, as I find them simply a publicity stunt to get people to spend money. But since neither of us had ever been to Verona, we decided to spend a few days in Veneto between Lake Garda and Verona itself the weekend before Valentine's Day, to enjoy the atmosphere but not the throngs of tourists.

🥉 Exploring Amazing Spots and Freediving at Siquijor by @iamcjestrada

Siquijor, also known as Isla del Fuego, is an island rich beautiful sceneries— from the mountains to the bottom of the ocean. This mystic island is located in the southern part of Central Visayas. Since Siquijor is a single island, one must take a ferry to be able to go there. It was December last year when we went to Siquijor for Chiarra and my birthday bash. We did a weekend island tour with my SMS Fam which was amazing. We arrived on Saturday and Siquijor welcomed us with gloomy weather.

You're absolutely right Albania has taken a boom in tourism let's hope it doesn't do like other places that have become extremely expensive.

I agree, but it's really the problem with almost all tourist spots around the world. If there are tourists, prices will really go up.

Beautiful photos of Verona: my city!
I share the significance of Valentine's Day and, on average, all holidays that have to do with pure consumerism. Another factor at odds with the thoughts of the masses and "politically correct" is the statue of Juliet.
Now I don't know if you went to see it, but the right breast is lighter than the rest of the statue: touching it is auspicious for lovers.
In this case, isn't Juliet being reduced to an "object woman"?
What a contradiction!

Most don’t, but it has some amazing white sand beaches, and in the summer with the turquoise waters it looks like the Caribbean… just not as warm hehehe 🤭
