From the Editor
which came as a total surprise because
who would have thought part of the Catalan
capitals beach was dedicated to nudists!
Still, it was an experience and one of my
favourite summer pastimes is no, not
hanging out with naturists geing on a
scooter or bicycle wherever Im travelling
and seeking out an o-the-beaten-track
gorgeous beach. Theres lile thats more exciting than rocking
up to a perfect, idyllic location kissed by the sun with turquoise
waters and yellow sand and few people around. So though it
pains me to give away all our secrets, it wouldnt be fair to keep
the best beaches weve discovered from you, so turn to page 79
and plan your summer beach holiday now.
Of course, you could always visit our cover destination this
month, Paphos, in Cyprus (page 51). There are some gorgeous
beaches here, and its said to be the birthplace of goddess of love
Aphrodite you cant get more romantic than that.
Summer is a time to get away and be inspired and, with
the help of your tweets and emails, weve found some truly
inspirational spots from sailing with dolphins in Portugal
(page 14) to visiting hammams in Fez (page 36). So follow us on
Twier (@helloletsgo) and like our Facebook page (facebook.
com/letsgomag), and keep sending us all your tips and
recommendations on the best places youve been to that we
shouldnt miss. We want to know!
Wherever youre going this July, have a great trip!

The city where dragons and unicorns are real! Drago and
Leocorno are two of the citys 17 medieval contrade (districts).
Others include Lupa (she-wolf), Giraffa (giraffe), Bruco
(caterpillar) and Pantera (panther). To tell the area youre walking
in, look out for animal emblems on buildings and fountains.
Every year, jockeys representing 10 of the contrade take part
in the citys centuries-old horse race, Il Palio, in the iconic city
square, the Piazza del Campo. Locals support the contrada they
come from. International visitors, including the likes of Tony
Blair and Antonio Banderas, fly here to cheer the riders on.

WHICH CREATURE ARE YOU?
In July and August some of the 17 contrade (districts) of the city of Siena in Italy,
compete in the famous Palio horse race (see p25). Locals have a family allegiance
to a contrada, many of which are named for mythical animals. But if youre one of
thousands of visiting spectators, who should you cheer for? Here are a few ideas.

PORCUPINE
CONTRADA SOVRANA
DELLISTRICE
In local tradition the porcupine
is regarded as solitary and
tough. This contrada, near the
railway station, has a long-
standing rivalry with Lupa.
SHEWOLF
CONTRADA DE LUPA
Located to the north of Piazza
del Campo, this contrada
is named after the wolf who
suckled Romulus and Remus.
The story goes that the latters
son, Senius, founded Siena.
GIRAFFE
CONTRADA DELLA GIRAFFA
The giraffe is a Sienese
symbol of grace. Traditionally,
residents of this contrada, to
the north-east of the Campo,
were painters. It was Giraffa
who won the Palio last year.
UNICORN
CONTRADA DEL LEOCORNO
Ironically for a mythological
animal, in the Sieniese
tradition the unicorn
represents science! This area
of the city is to the east of the
Piazza del Campo.

What do you want to learn? hello@letsgo-mag.com
THERE IS A DIRECT CORRELATION
between how long you have been in a
relationship and how much eort youre
prepared to put into a massage. During
those rst golden months, a massage is an
act of selessness; later, it can seem like
ruddy hard work. Everyone loves someone
who gives a great massage, so we turned to
the spa team at Berlins luxurious Hotel de
Rome (hotelderome.com) for advice on how
to turn a begrudging pummelling into 30
minutes of pure pleasure.
Its important to create a clean, calming
atmosphere, says assistant spa manager
Linda Lehmann. Perfumed candles, owers,
mood lighting and fresh air can all help, and
music doesnt have to be whale sounds. It
can be Bavarian horn music if thats what
people want, says Linda. For a massage oil,
try plant oils such as sesame or olive oil, but
body lotion will do if youve nothing else.
A simple technique for beginners is
to place your open hands le and right
of your partners back, on the neck, with
ngers pointing up towards the head.
Slide gently with light pressure over the
shoulders in the direction of the arms,
says Linda, and when you reach them
return towards the upper back and up to
the starting position. Repeat three times.
Next, move your hands lower to the
hips and apply gentle pressure for ve
seconds. Continue down to the gluteus
max, and circle three times on the complete
gluteus, still with open hands and light
pressure. Then return to the neck, combine
these two steps into one and stick with it
until the appreciative oohs and aahs run out.
This will get you started and should
be followed by plenty of water or herbal
tea. A sauna is good, but alcohol is not
recommended. Well, for now, at least.
Theres plenty of time for that later.

Back rubs, strange spices and dodging

I should do on a weekend in Fez,
your tips led me down dark alleys,
into steamy rooms and towards
some intriguing characters
Explore the Medina. Youll get lost but thats the fun
Mark Leyland via Facebook
The word you have to remember, says Hakim,
nimbly avoiding a high-speed donkey, is balak. Its
Arabic for get out of the way fast.
There are 9,600 winding, labyrinthine, car-free,
donkey-lled streets in the Medina; and Hakim,
whos been guiding people here for years, knows
them all. So where he leads, I follow. If you get lost,
stay where you are and I will come and nd you in
two or three days, he says.
As Mark will know, exploring the Medina makes
you feel like youve opened a portal in the space-time
continuum and travelled back a thousand years. We
stop at the tanneries, a truly medieval sight where
men clean and dye leather in pools of quicklime, salt
and pigeon droppings. The third-hardest job in the
world, Hakim tells me. The rst is crab shing
in Alaska, the second is being a tour guide! Later
we meet knife-grinders and weavers, and gawp at
astoundingly bling wedding chairs. Then, over a
sweet mint tea, Hakim explains his theory on why
people who grow up in Fez tend not to leave. We are
sh, he smiles, we cannot live outside the aquarium.

another friend of Gails, at his local hammam,
geing that nice relaxing massage you so kindly
recommended; a massage that has so far involved
being slapped, jumped on, and having my leg bent
around another mans head.
At one point, when a bucket of water is thrown
at me, I get up, optimistically assuming this is the
end. Not yet! shouts Amine gleefully, as the masseur
notes my aempted escape. As my skin is rubbed
with a very rough cloth I think it cant get more
painful, before my moustachioed assailant goes into
my shorts and continues the process on my buocks.
I am of course exaggerating for comedic eect.
Well, slightly, the buocks bit is denitely true.
The massage is prey amazing though and I leave
feeling beer than I have for ages. The noises I
made, do people usually do that? I ask Amine. Yes,
this is normal, he says, though I think hes trying to
make me feel beer for being such a wuss.

amazing mix of people.
The best time
to visit the city is
during Aarhus Festival

which takes over the
centre in the rst week
of September. Its a
celebration of the areas
culture: art, music,
dance and theatre.
A new hot spot
is Godsbanen (35

conversion took so long
it became a joke, but
now its a success. The

IF CYPRUS IS THE ISLAND OF LOVE,
Paphos ought really to be the capital (the
islands actual capital is Nicosia, but never
mind that). The Greek goddess of love,
Aphrodite, is said to have been born in
the sea just o Paphos, and the remains
of her temple, one of the most popular in
the region in ancient times, are still to be
found on the island. The site overlooks the
Mediterranean from a village hillside, and
although the temples former splendour has
crumbled, its certainly worth a visit. Legend
has it that Aphrodite was arrestingly
beautiful and had many lovers. And who
could blame her? Paphos is the sort of place
that puts you in a romantic mood.
But enough of love; the appeal of
Paphos is not only that its a uniquely
romantic seing. You could stay here at
length and still not experience all of its
archaeological, cultural and culinary
delights. The abundance of family run
restaurants serving quality fresh produce
means youre particularly spoiled for choice
when it comes to food. This is a destination
that people nd themselves returning
to again and again. Paphos may not be a
metropolis, but it never gets boring. Take
an early morning swim, return to the
beach later for an evening cocktail and, in
between, you could pack in everything from
nature trekking to shopping to museum-
hopping, or a dose of extreme sports.
This city used to be known primarily
for its shing harbour but, with a new
highway and airport built in the last 10
years, it has developed into one of the
most multi-cultural areas of Cyprus, as
conrmed by the most recent census.
Paphians rub shoulders with nationalities
from all over Europe and beyond
something thats reected in the cuisine on
oer too.
Theres plenty to entertain you here,
but remember the locals moo of Siga,
siga (Take it easy). And thats the best way
to approach a Paphos break. See as much as
you can, but at a leisurely pace.

ITS NO SURPRISE THAT UNESCO named
the District of Paphos a World Heritage
site. Local history goes back millennia, and
the best way to get around town to see it all
is on a hop-on, hop-o City Sightseeing bus.
Tours start at the harbour and leave every
60-90 minutes seven days a week.
Its an area rich in archaeological sites,
some of which are too delicate to be opened
to the public. However, those you can see
include 06

the Paphos Mosaics, part of the
Kato Paphos archaeological park near the
harbour. These artworks from the houses
of wealthy Romans are stunningly
preserved in situ and date back over 1,800
years. A cast of characters including
Dionysus, god of wine, are depicted in all
their merry-making.
Speaking of gods and goddesses, pay a
visit to the 07

Temple of Aphrodite, where
ancient worshippers travelled from far
and wide to perform sacred rituals. The
museum in the adjacent 13th-century
Lusignan Royal Manor House is packed
with facts, tales and objects relating to
Aphrodite, including an ancient black
conical meteorite, worshipped as a
representation of the goddess. Entrance is
a snip at 3.40 for adults.
The Roman 08

Amphitheatre is one of
three venues for the International Festival
of Ancient Greek Drama. Soaking up an
opera or play in this magical open-air
seing is the perfect way to spend a balmy
evening on the island, and shows in
various languages are held throughout
July. Tickets cost 17 per performance.
Paphos is known for its quality of
light, and no one appreciates that more
than gallery owners. The main galleries
to visit here are the 09

Paphos Municipal
Art Gallery housed in a renovated colonial
building, and the 10

En Plo Gallery. The
former hosts a permanent exhibition of
Paphian painting and sculpture, both
gurative and abstract. The laer serves
as an outlet selling poery, prints and
handcraed jewellery at reasonable prices.

IF YOU FANCY A TRADITIONAL Cypriot
dining experience, make the journey
to 16

The Last Castle. This lunch-only
restaurant is so o the beaten track
that there is no electricity! But thats no
problem because theres plenty of re-
power: barbecued beef, pork and chicken
abounds, served with rice and traditional
Cypriot bread. Its certainly meat-oriented
but the friendly guys who run the place
have been known to whip up a vegetarian
dish on request, too. Expansive sea views
are complemented by a gentle breeze as
in true castle style there is no glass in the
windows.
If youre on the go and need to grab
a bite at any time of the day or night, 17

Zorbas bakery, a short walk from Paphos
harbour, is the spot to pick up sweet and
savoury Cypriot goodies. Try the moreish
spinach and feta pastries and several
dierent types of halloumi-lled snacks.
Nobody leaves here hungry.
Also near the harbour, 18

South
African steakhouse The Lodge is one of
the only restaurants in Paphos to age its
own meat. This dark, roomy restaurant
is a place to sele down with friends for a
long chat over dinner. Excellent steak is
by no means the only thing on the menu,
however, which includes a range of meat
and seafood dishes. Theres a short but
well-chosen list of the owners favourite
Cypriot wines too.
For something a lile lighter, the chic
and recently renovated 19

Muse Caf
occupies a new space in one of the older
parts of town. Oering views over Paphos
and the Mediterranean, its the ideal place
to sit and watch the sun go down. You can
tuck into sharing plaers or a tasty goats
cheese salad, for instance. But they do
serve steak here, too.
For an authentic taste of India on
Cyprus, order a perfectly uy biryani
at 20

Poppadoms, on the coastal road.
This place is its own best advertisement,
because its always absolutely packed.

Spotlight on Paphos
IT MAY NOT BE FAMOUS FOR its rock
stars but actually theres a healthy live
music scene in Paphos. A good place to
start your evening is
21
Ta Hnaria, a
traditional taverna in the centre of town.
Snack on meze dishes and soak up some
live Cypriot sounds. Local folk music acts
play here every Wednesday, Friday and
Saturday, and it can get prey rowdy, in a
good way.
For rock and indie sounds, among
others, try 22

Temple, in a renovated
townhouse uptown. This fun, laid-back
bar is ideal for a pre-club pit stop or as
a place to chat if youre not one to hit
the dance oor. Theres a long beer list,
including local brews Keo and Leon, and
this place has been known to host the odd
beer festival.
Every city needs an Irish pub, and if
your tipple of choice is a pint of Guinness,
theres always the ever-lively 23

ONeills.
Theres usually a band on stage and youll
have a fun night here, even if youre
a long way from Dublin. Alternatively,
24

The Rose Pub in Kato Paphos is another
charming lile joint thats always busy and
has live music four nights a week.
To sip cocktails, mingle with the
islands bright young things and dance
until late, you should head to 25

Faces. This
is the place for fans of house music and
those who like to get dolled up. The door
policy here denitely favours the chiseled
and glamorous, so dress your best.
Meanwhile, at Yeroskipou Municipal
Beach, youll nd 26

Summer Club Barrio
Del Mar, which includes an area where you
can dance outside and feel the sea breeze
on your skin. Local DJs spin from 11pm
until dawn, Wednesday to Saturday.
If you dont mind driving a lile out
of town, 40 minutes from Paphos youll
nd the town of Pomos, where the 13th
Paradise Jazz Festival takes place on 2728
July and 34 August at 27

Paradise Place.
The long list of artists you can see here
includes the Greek jazz act Trio Balkano.

MUSIC TOUR
Im in the Birmingham suburb of Aston, a
short walk from the Aston Villa football ground,
standing outside the door of a house that would
be unremarkable save for one fact it was the
birthplace and childhood home of rock star and
Prince of Darkness Ozzy Osbourne.
My companion, Roger Bailey, looks like hes
thinking about running away. A survivor of
Birminghams 1970s rock heyday, with hairdo still
intact, Roger is a Blue Badge guide who specialises
in walking and bus tours of the citys musical
heritage tours that dont normally include actually
knocking on Ozzys old front door.
Manchester and Liverpool may have aracted
more music-minded tourists over the years but,
as Roger is keen to point out, Birmingham is an
underrated goldmine of pop and rock history,
having spawned The Moody Blues, Black Sabbath,
two members of Led Zeppelin, Duran Duran, UB40
and, more recently, Ocean Colour Scene, Editors and
Do you think
Birmingham is an underrated goldmine of pop
and rock history, having spawned Black Sabbath,
Duran Duran, UB40 and more
The Streets. Last years Home of Metal exhibition
at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery was a big
step towards upping the citys musical prole,
celebrating the fact that Brum was the birthplace of
heavy metal. So could 2012 be the year the city really
establishes itself as a musical destination?
The omens are good. Duran Duran are back out
on tour, promoting a new album; Symphony Hall,
acclaimed for its world-class acoustics, is celebrating
its 21st birthday with a star-studded programme; the
citys festival scene continues to grow; and the big
news for rock fans has been Black Sabbaths part-
reunion and a European tour of Ozzy Osbourne and
Friends, featuring Ozzy alongside guests like Slash
from Guns N Roses.
As he shows me around town, my erudite
guide whose trips are supported by the local
tourist board clutches a scrapbook containing
tickets from all the gigs hes ever been too (quite a
lot). People dont think of Birmingham as a musical
place, he says. Yet there are more venues here than
anywhere outside London.
Hes right, youre spoilt for choice when it comes
to live gigs. One of the most aractive venues is
we should knock?

Town Hall on Victoria Square. Seeing it reminds
me that this famously industrial city has more
than its fair share of beautiful Victorian buildings.
Reminiscent of a Roman temple on the outside,
and no less impressive inside, it has hosted variety,
political rallies, and the likes of Buddy Holly, Bowie,
the Beatles and, of course, Black Sabbath (and thats
just the ones beginning with the leer B!).
A collection of old photos in the bar includes
one of the Sabbath on stage in 1972. Simon Wales,
the general manager, tells me that he chaed with
Osbourne when he played an emotional hometown
gig here in 2010. I stood here with Ozzy and pointed
at this picture and said thats you, and he said oh
yeah, I remember that and I thought, really? Im not
sure I believe you!
One man who does remember that time is Jim
Simpson. These days hes best known for running
Birmingham International Jazz & Blues Festival
but, in a former life, he was Black Sabbaths rst
manager. He takes me for possibly the best Chinese
meal Ive ever had at Shangri-La on Station Street.
Its right next to The Crown pub where, in the 1960s,
Jim ran a club called Henrys Blues House. It was
here that he discovered the Sabbath boys, in those

days still playing under the name Earth. Over a Kung
Po chicken, we talk about the Sabbath reunion and
Jim reminisces about the young Ozzy who had a
voice that started somewhere down towards his
boots and always made him laugh. If someone says
the words Ozzy Osbourne to me, I cant help smiling.
Led Zeppelins Robert Plant was a regular at Jims
club too, and it sounds like there was some healthy
rivalry. We had a publicity slogan, Jim laughs. It
said Black Sabbath make Led Zeppelin sound like a
kindergarten house band.
If the Town Hall and The Crown are a link to
Birminghams musical past, then the area of Digbeth,
in the citys east a hipster neighbourhood oen
compared to Londons Shoreditch or Berlins old
east side is the perfect place to explore its musical
present. If you go through the back streets, you have
all this amazing street art. And youll nd great lile
nights that you wouldnt nd in most cities, says
John Fell, from local band Goodnight Lenin, who
I meet at Custard Factory. This creative hub was
converted from you guessed it a custard factory,
and turned into a mix of shops, cafs, exhibition
spaces and o ces for creative types. They also host
club nights here. For gigs theres the nearby HMV
Institute, Irish Centre and the renowned Rainbow,
which includes a pub and a warehouse venue.
How does John rate his home city musically?
From my experience of travelling round in my band,
I think it is one of the best music cities. I just think
the fact that we can oer so many genres of music in
such a small radius is very impressive.
We had a publicity slogan.
THE UKS BEST ACCOUSTICS
If Black Sabbath are a bit too loud and scary for you,
Birmingham also has a great classical music tradition. The
Birmingham Triennial Music Festival was the longest-running
music festival in the world between 1784 and 1912. Symphony
Hall is a newer addition, and its acoustics are said to be the
best in the UK and among the best in the world. Shows to mark
its 21st birthday earlier this year came from the likes of Simon
Rattle, Philip Glass and Elvis Costello, while the upcoming
programme this September includes Eurythmics Dave
Stewart on the 4th; Nigel Kennedy playing Bach and Fats Waller
on the 10th; and local 1980s band Dexys on the 12th. thsh.co.uk

When I leave Digbeth, night has fallen. Aer
a warm-up drink at The Victoria, a music fans
pub that hosts club nights and a weekly lm and
music pub quiz, I make my way to The Ballroom
Birmingham. Theres a selection of promising
local bands on the bill, promoted by Arthur Tapp,
described to me as Birminghams Lord of Indie.
The opening act, barely into their teens, play like
seasoned pros, despite the fact that the bass guitar
is clearly bigger than the kid playing it. Tapp,
a boyish 39-year-old, has been promoting gigs
since he was at school. At the moment, we are
ridiculously well catered for. Its a boom time for
venues opening, he says.
My night nishes in the historic Jewellery
Quarter at The Jam House, a Georgian building
converted into a music venue by designer Neil
Tibba with help from pianist/TV presenter Jools
Holland. It may not be as cool as Digbeth but its
certainly fun. Spread across three open-plan oors,
it oers great views of the band from prey much
anywhere. I nd myself shaking my stu on the
dance oor into the early hours.
Later, walking back to my hotel with a sheen
of boogie-sweat all over me, I havent quite had my
musical ll. I stick in my headphones and crank up
the volume on Black Sabbaths Paranoid. The voice
that starts somewhere down towards his boots lls
my ears. Finished with my woman, cos she couldnt
help me with my mind! Birmingham, you rock.

CRIANZA
The intensity of basketball is
reected in this bouncy and
vibrant red wine from the
Ribera del Duero region, where
the high altitudes produce
powerful wines with great
perfume and body. Exhibiting
rich aromas of fruit, cocoa
and tobacco leaves, this wine
enjoys a long, elegant nish
that is worth travelling for.
ATHLETICS
CASTILLO DE
ALBAI CRIANZA
Athletes exhibit a diverse
range of characteristics, many
of which are also present in
this champion Rioja, a gold
medallist at the 2012 Berliner
Wine Trophy. The palate is
powerful like a shot-puer,
balanced like a sprinter, and,
like a marathon runner, has a
long nish. Ruby red in colour,
it oers aromas of spices.

THE BEACH
YOU CAN REACH
BY METRO
BARCELONETA BEACH,
BARCELONA, SPAIN
If hiking for hours in search of some
little-known, hard-to-reach cove doesnt
rock your boat, and a sun bed, paella on
tap and the chance to get a tan without
leaving the city does, then this is the
beach for you.
One minute youll be haggling
down the price of a massage, the next,
checking out the birdcage-like Juan
Muoz sculpture A Place Where It
Always Rains. As with other great urban
beaches, you wont find much in the way
of peace and quiet, but the sheer scale of
entertainment more than makes up for it.
Planning on keeping your swimwear on?
Avoid setting up camp in the area in front
of Barceloneta Leisure Centre: its the
unofficial spot for nude sunbathing.
GETTING THERE Walk to Colom at the
end of the Ramblas and from there its a
15-minute stroll to the beach. Or take the
metro to Barceloneta (Yellow Line, L4).
HOLIDAY READING Try Bara: A Peoples

THE SPORTY
ESSAOUIRA, MOROCCO
In the 1960s it was the hippies who fell
in love with Essaouira Bay, where camels
amble sedately along the golden sands.
Now its thrill-seeking kitesurfers and
windsurfers who flock here too, drawn
by the areas year-round good winds.
Popular destinations for watersports
include Sidi Kaouki, Cape Sim and
Mouley Bouzertoune.
Myths abound about Jimi Hendrixs

VILLEFRANCHESURMER, FRANCE
This picture-postcard bay in the town of
Villefranche-sur-Mer all pastel-coloured
houses, chic waterside restaurants and
million-euro yachts is one of the lesser-
known delights of the French Riviera. Close
enough to do as a day trip from Nice, the
beach here is of a very fine shingle. There
are no sun loungers for hire, so pack a
roll-up straw mat or towel to lie on, along
with an umbrella, pan bagnat (filled roll) and
bottle of local wine the combined cost of
which should come to less than the price of
a parasol at a nearby private beach.
GETTING THERE The drive from Nice is
pretty straightforward, but if you dont have
a hire car (or a yacht), you can get there by
train (voyages-sncf.com) or bus No 100 for
a few euros.

THATS WORTH
THE EFFORT
CALA DEN SERRA, IBIZA
It is some measure of the appeal of
this small but perfectly formed cove
that it still regularly finds its way onto
best-beach lists despite the hulking,
35-year-old abandoned building site
overlooking it. However, after following
the winding path down to the sand and
dipping your toes into the cool blue
water, looking back will be the last thing
on your mind.
Situated on Ibizas north coast,
just beyond Portinatx, its a place of
peace and tranquillity, with to-die-for
snorkelling opportunities. Dont expect
any pedalos or jet skis: Claudia, the
owner of the one and only beach bar,
likes things just the way they are.
GETTING THERE From the town of Santa
Eulalia, drive along the main road all the
way past the village of San Juan, until
you reach Portinatx. From there, head
east along the smaller road that leads
down to Cala den Serra. Park where the
gravel road ends at the top of the cliff and

MYRTOS, KEFALONIA
No stranger to best-beach lists, Myrtos,
on Kefalonias north-west coast,
has nevertheless managed to avoid
becoming a victim of its own success.
While there are sun beds and parasols
for those who want them as well as a
lifeguard and snack bar a decent-sized
section of this two kilometres of beach
has been kept sun bed-free and remains
completely unspoilt.
There are no watersports, so no
risk of your nap being interrupted by the
roar of a jet ski. Theres no worry of sand
in your feta salad either; this place is all
about the sugar-almond-smooth white
pebbles, which contrast dramatically
with the turquoise sea and towering
limestone cliffs. Dont leave before dusk,
as Myrtos is renowned for delivering one
of the most spectacular sunsets of the
Ionian islands.
GETTING THERE A steep road leads
down to the beach from the village of
Divarata. If you are coming by bus, then
No 3 or No 6 depart from the harbour
area at Agia Efimia and will drop you off
at a stop just a five-minute walk from
the beach.

Cagliari, but thats 35km of some of
the best James Bond-style driving
conditions youre ever likely to encounter:
hairpin bends, sheer drops and glorious
clifftop villas.
On arrival, youll be greeted with
a dramatic coastline, white sand and
twinkling, turquoise sea all framed by
low rocky mountains, the scent of wild
herbs and flowers in the air. On hand are
shops, restaurants and discos, a few of
which get lively in the high season. You
could spend a whole summer exploring
all of the beaches nearby, from the

boat hire to Champagne bars to the

of the best of them will make you feel like
you can speak fluent Italian: Spiaggia di

GETTING THERE From Cagliari, drive as

THATS BLUE ISTRIA, says the old man siing next
to me at a caf on Pulas seafront, pointing towards
the clear, and denitely blue, water stretching out
before us.
So that, I say, pointing behind me, must be
what they call
Green Istria, he says, referring to the hills,
woods and pastures inland. And when it comes
to local winemakers, I soon discover theres also
plenty of Istrian red and white. This heart-shaped
peninsula on the Adriatic has a reputation as a
foodies paradise, and Im here to take a culinary tour.
Like most of Croatia, Istria has been invaded
many times over the centuries, including by the
ancient Romans and, in the 1800s, the Austrians.
Today in the local cooking youll spot inuences from
Italy, Hungary, Austria and Spain. Its all facilitated
by the high quality of the local produce, including
the olive oil, tru es, and seafood such as oysters.
Geing around is easy enough by car. I follow
the smaller roads of the designated wine and olive
routes, marked in picturesque fashion by wooden
signs nailed to trees, stopping o at konobe (family
run restaurants) and vineyards along the way.
Taking plenty of detours means my route is a
haphazard one, through crumbling villages, over
undulating hills and past rust-coloured farmland.
I follow the signs to the village of Buzet in search
of the winery Piquentum (Cesta Sveti Ivan bb,
Buzet, tel. + 385 91 527 5976), home to the celebrated
winemaker Dimitri Breevi. But the signs disappear,
and when I ask a passerby for directions Never
heard of him is the response. I persevere and nally
locate the elusive winery, or rather a repurposed

CROATIAS FOODIE PARADISE
World War II water cistern carved out of the hillside,
near the small Istrian town of Tinjan. You should
have asked for the Frenchman, Breevi smiles.
They all know me as that.
Born to a Croatian father and a French mother,
Breevi is one of the few natural winemakers
in Istria, using techniques like natural yeast
fermentation (meaning theres no added yeast), and
minimal technological intervention during the
winemaking process. Despite his French upbringing
and a pedigreed education in the best wine-
producing regions in the world (Bordeaux, Burgundy,
New Zealand), Breevi says he always felt Istria was
the right place to be.
My father was born here and he returned to
Istria a few years before me, so I have always felt
a connection, he says. Professionally, I realised
that the climate and soils were right for producing
quality wine. Breevi created his rst vintage in
2006. He uses only grapes indigenous to the area,
meaning Malvasia, Teran, and Refok. We try a
medium-bodied 2008 Malvasia white wine with
buoyant character that goes perfectly with spicy
dishes and is, unsurprisingly, very good indeed.
When it comes to Istrian wine generally, you cant
throw a cork without hiing a bole of Malvasia, the
oen fruity white that accounts for about two thirds
of the grape crop here. In the bucolic Momjan Valley,
with a dilapidated 1,000-year-old castle looming
above, Im in good spirits when I arrive at Kozlovic
Winery (78 Vale Momjan, tel. +382 5277 0188), the
regions largest private producer of Malvasia wine
and a frequent award-winner. Im met by the warm
smile of Antonella Kozlovi c. Shes the wife of Franco,
a third-generation winemaker based here (his father
and grandfather are depicted on the wine labels).
We hope this is a place that expresses the
passion we put into our wine, as well as a place
where people can come to simply enjoy, says Franco
of his new tasting room. Aer a glass of their golden
Akacia Malvasia on the terrace overlooking the
vines, Antonella recommends lunch at Konoba Stari-
Podrum (52 Most, Momjan, tel. +385 52 779 152, stari-
podrum.ch), set in an isolated stone house just down
the road. Its a typical Istrian konoba, where locals
catch up and enjoy the fresh, seasonal produce.
Im greeted by Mira (her last name has too
many consonants to write down), the apron-clad
We hope this is a place that

ROMAN REMAINS
Like many Croatian cities,
Pula is notable for its wealth
of well-preserved Roman
architecture, including the
vast amphitheatre, which
overlooks the harbour.
Once used for gladiator
spectacles, its now host to
summer concerts and the
Pula Film Festival. You can
also still visit Pulas Roman
Forum, where buildings
include the Temple of
Augustus. The site dates
back to the 1st century BC.
Unfortunately, the forum
was almost destroyed by

matriarch of Stari-Podrum. There are no menus and
she prepares a four-course meal starting with soup
of wild asparagus (an Istrian obsession), followed by
polenta and Istrian paleta, a cured meat similar to
its more famous cousin Istrian prut (prosciuo) but
made from the pigs front legs instead of its hind legs.
With a pasta course of local fuzi, dessert and wine, the
bill for this fantastic meal comes to a staggeringly low
100 Croatian kuna about 13 per person.
Fuzi is the pasta youll most oen be oered
in this region, a quill-shaped variety thats usually
homemade using our, eggs, salt and water. Curious
about fuzi, I pay a visit next to Drazenka Dada
Moll who leads cooking classes in Smoljanci, not far
from the pastel-painted seaside village of Rovinj
(Smoljanci 23, Svetvinenat, tel. +385 5256 0022,
stancija.com).
Dressed in a white chefs coat, Dada is
infectiously enthusiastic as she bounces around her
homey 100-year-old estate, Stancija 1904, showing me
the rooms and apartments she rents out to travellers,
before taking me to the dining room for a demo. But
before we begin cooking, a welcome drink, she says,
waving her hand at a table laden with a grappa-esque
liquor called rakija in honey (medica) and mistletoe
(biska) avours. When you make pasta its beer to
invite friends, serve wine, and do it together.
With music playing and wine owing, we cut
dough into squares, then use our hands to shape
them around a small wooden dowel, creating tubes
similar to penne. Families always make fuzi for
special occasions like weddings, baptisms, and
birthdays. Here we say that if theres no fuzi, then
theres no party, she says.
Eventually, we sit down to eat our creations,

along with our handmade pljukanci, or lile
worms as Dada calls them, both tossed in a light
creamy sauce with fresh herbs. It tastes like
a celebration.
I leave Dada and journey on, because there
are two more local specialities Im keen to learn
more about. The rst is Istrias celebrated olive oil,
the traditional production of which dates back to
ancient Rome. Today, Istrian oil is recognised by
international authorities like olive oil guide Flos
Olei. I make quick pitstops at three local producers:
Ipa (10 Ipi, Livade, tel. +385 5266 4010, ipsa-
maslinovaulja.hr), Chiavalon (16 Vladimira Nazora,
Vodnjan, tel. +385 52 511 906, chiavalon.hr) and
Meneghei (Bale, tel. +385 52 528 815, meneghei.
info). Each crank out some of the best green-gold
elixir youll taste, evoking the scent of cut grass and
peppery when it hits the back of your throat.
The nal item I came here to try, the gustatory
king of Istria, is the mighty tru e. Menus here
Trufes can go for up to
3,000 in the autumn market
brim with tru e-seasoned everything, especially
in the area around Motovun, a medieval village
perched 277m above the Mirna River Valley.
At tru e sellers Karli Tartu (14 Paladini, tel.
+385 52 667 304, karlictartu.hr), in the Lilliputian
village of Paladini near Vrh, I meet Ivan Karli,
19-year-old grandson of the companys founder.
We walk to the Motovun Forest, where he leads
tru e hunts. Ive been hunting tru es by myself
since I was 10, he says. I found an apple-sized
tru e once but when I told my mother she didnt
believe me at rst. Karli shows me a photo he
had framed of his subterranean treasure to prove
it. I sold it and bought a bike with the proceeds.
And rare white tru es can go for up to 3,000 in
the autumn market, he adds.
We sit down in Karli Tartus tasting room for
a meal of tru e salami, tru e cheese and local olive
oil, washed down with what else but homemade
rakija. Istrian cuisine? Ill drink to that.

THIS SUMMER,
SIAM PARK OPENS TWO BRAND
NEW ATTRACTIONS,
KINNAREE AND SAWASDEE,
AQUATIC EXPERIENCES
UNIQUE IN THE WORLD
True to the parks promise of
ongoing innovation, Siam Park opens
two new areas for the whole family
this summer: Kinnaree and Sawasdee,
investing over 2.5 million Euros.
With this new offer, unprecedented in
other parks in the world, The Water
Kingdom consolidates its position as
the indisputable reference in the new
generation of theme parks featuring
aquatic rides.
Kinnaree is a mega slide with a 200
metres long winding circuit which
guarantees you triple enjoyment,
intensity and fun. The adrenaline
produced from speed after being
launched from over 25 metres high,
is only the beginning and prepares the
visitor to experience the first of many
surprises: an exciting funnel with a
45 tilt which evokes the first gasps of
emotion. Then the journey continues
through lush vegetation to plunge
rapidly into a huge tornado wave. Other
surprises add to these experiences
to complete the sensation of total
enjoyment.
The other addition, Sawasdee,
which means Welcome in Thai, is
a brand new childrens zone offering
inexhaustible fun, with an authentic
water jungle that incorporates four
different slides, two of which are
specifically designed for racing and
putting the childrens skills and abilities
to the test. A miniature version of The
Dragon, Siam Parks most popular
slide, has also been built for the
children to enjoy too.
This totally new childrens area is in
addition to the existing The Lost City
making the Siam Parks family fun offer
second to none.

Kinnaree es un mega tobogn de ms de 200 metros de recorrido serpenteante
que funde tres experiencias en una, asegurando el triple de emocin, diversin e

Dunne and Crescenzi,
Dublin
In the heart of Dublin, there is a
unique purple restaurant serving
Italian food. However, this is no
ordinary Italian restaurant. As
John McKenna of the Bridgestone
Guides said of Eileen Dunne
and Stefano Crescenzi, the
restaurateurs who established
the acclaimed location: They are
curators as much as restaurateurs
and what they do is curate
the elements of an authentic
experience. The ingredients are
correctly sourced from artisan
suppliers in both Italy and
Ireland. The atmosphere is cool
and busy, but also relaxed here is
a restaurant where you can truly
enjoy your dining experience.
Eileen and Stefano have brought
Italy to Irelands doorstep as Tom
Doorley of the Irish Times once
said: Dunne and Crescenzi have
changed the way the Irish eat.

Why Does Ryanair Block Off
Seats Onboard?
Due to performance limits set down by
Boeing, Ryanair are required to block
off seats onboard when the number
of passengers on board falls below a
specified number this ensures that the
weight of passengers and bags carried is
correctly distributed in front of and behind
the aircrafts centre of gravity.
Ryanairs Customer

The most punctual airline, with the fewest
cancellations and least lost bags
Ryanair: Europes Greenest
and Cleanest Airline
Aviation accounts for just 2% of CO2
emissions, far less than power generation
(26%) or road transport (18%).
Passengers who choose Ryanair are doing
their bit by flying with Europes greenest
and cleanest airline. Since 1998 Ryanair
has invested over $10bn in new aircraft
and now operates the youngest most fuel
efficient fleet of any major airline in Europe,
a fact recently confirmed by the Dutch
Consumer Organisation in its recent study
of 33 European airlines.
As a result of this investment and
technological advances in aircraft design,
Ryanair has reduced its fuel burn and CO2
emissions per passenger kilometre by 52%
since 1998. In short, aviation accounts for
just 2% of CO2 emissions and within this
sector, passengers can do no better than
choosing Ryanair, the greenest, cleanest
and most environmentally efficient airline.
The Best Punctuality and
the Fewest Lost Bags
The latest published on-time statistics of
the Association of European Airlines for
2009 again prove that Ryanair is the No. 1
on-time major airline in Europe.

Delirious fans, delicious food, ice-cold Heineken beer,

putting on spectacular shows for visitors in the Medal
Ceremony Hall. This is where Dutch medal winners will
be paid tribute by the delirious Orange Fans; something
you must experience at least once in your life!
