    Dalmatian Coast Guide: Split, Hvar & Dubrovnik by Sea

    The Dalmatian Coast doesn't hide its history behind glass. In Split, people still live inside a Roman emperor's palace, hanging laundry from seventeen-century-old walls and pouring you a drink beside them. The sea is warm, the stone is honey-coloured, and the light does something cinematic to both — which may be why the coast is finally catching the eye of screen-chasing travellers as an uncovered Mediterranean alternative to the usual Italian and Greek picks. From Split, the journey runs south by sea: to Hvar, where lavender streaks the hills behind a glossy harbour; to Korčula, a fish-boned old town of narrow lanes and crisp local wine; to walled Dubrovnik; and to the quiet pine forests of Mljet National Park. Old stone, clear coves, easy afternoons.

    Yorkshire Road Trip: Brontë Moors, the Dales & Whitby

    Some landscapes stay with you long after the mud has dried on your boots, and Yorkshire is one of them. Perhaps that's why so many travellers, drawn by a new wave of windswept moors and grand old market towns on screen, are turning north again. This is a corner of England that doesn't flatter you so much as move you: all racing cloud shadows, drystone walls and skies that change their mind in minutes. The road runs from Haworth and the Brontë moors, where three sisters spun fiction from bleakness, out to the limestone drama of Malham and the Yorkshire Dales. From there it winds through the layered history of York, on to salt-air Whitby, and up into the wide, cinematic emptiness of the North York Moors and Goathland. Bring layers, and expect to feel gloriously small. Chapters: 00:00 Welcome 00:43 Haworth & the Brontë Moors 01:50 Malham & the Yorkshire Dales 03:01 York 04:16 Whitby 05:25 The North York Moors & Goathland 06:31 Before you go Read the illustrated guide: https://blog.ottimo.ai/yorkshire-road-trip-bronte-moors-the-dales-whitby Plan your own version of this trip: https://ottimo.ai

    Sardinia Road Trip: Costa Smeralda, Alghero & the Gulf of Orosei

    Sardinia has quietly become the island the rest of the Mediterranean whispers about — a beautiful alternative to the crowded Amalfi Coast, where granite headlands meet water lit from below. This is a coastline of contrasts, glamorous in one bay and gloriously wild in the next, and the best way to feel that range is behind the wheel with the windows down and the maquis perfuming the air. The road runs from the polished marinas of Porto Cervo on the Costa Smeralda down to the soaring cliffs and hidden coves of the Gulf of Orosei at Cala Gonone, then west to golden, Catalan-flavoured Alghero, sleepy riverside Bosa and, finally, the layered streets of Cagliari. Sun-drenched, coastal and untamed all at once. Chapters: 00:00 Welcome 00:46 Costa Smeralda 02:01 Cala Gonone & the Gulf of Orosei 03:14 Alghero 04:34 Bosa 05:47 Cagliari 06:54 Before you go Read the illustrated guide: https://blog.ottimo.ai/sardinia-road-trip-costa-smeralda-alghero-the-gulf-of-orosei Plan your own version of this trip: https://ottimo.ai
