Corsica – French jewel
Corsica is the greenest and most mountainous island in the Mediterranean Sea. Peaks reaching the heights of our Tatra Mountains, white beaches, and fortified towns create a perfect idyll for a summer holiday. The capital city Ajaccio is even the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte. Cheap flights from Vienna for €80 are often available in June or September through the airline Eurowings.
Gibraltar – in the captivity of macaques
Waiting at the runways while a plane crosses the road is an experience you won't have just anywhere. We're talking about British Gibraltar, which you can easily reach from Malaga Airport. Down below, there is a lively hustle and bustle, but when you take a cable car up to the "Rock of Gibraltar," you'll find yourself in wild nature with macaques. After a slightly challenging hike, you can cool off on the sandy beaches on the east coast.
Amsterdam – the capital of the country of tulips, cheese, and windmills
On the first day of spring, we planned a trip to the land of tulips, cheese, and windmills. Flights to the capital city of Amsterdam for 94€ are hard to resist. Who wouldn't want to visit this world-famous city where you can cruise by boat on the canals like in Venice, immerse yourself in the scent of coffeeshops, or take a walk through the controversial Red Light District.
Brussels – Only here have we experienced beer of all flavors
Two weeks after London, another great flight deal came up, this time from Ryanair. Brussels for 5€. Originally booked for 9 people, but our group ended up being reduced to 7. Still, it was a lot of fun :) We tasted excellent Belgian beer Kriek and amazing chocolates. We experienced a bit of a new culture, but mainly we relaxed well.
London – Mind the gap
It was one of the last superactions of SkyEurope, and a year later they went bankrupt. It was July 2008 and tickets could be booked from 29Sk more than half a year in advance. So we decided to visit the largest city in the European Union - London - in March. The tickets cost us 63Sk + one piece of luggage 450Sk. A month before the departure, they adjusted the departure time from evening to morning, which shortened our stay by one day :(
Paris – See Paris and die
It was the first flight trip back in the SkyEurope era. The Valentine's Day special 1+1 ticket offer convinced us. Looking back, I can say that Paris is the most beautiful European city I have visited. The touch of history and countless monuments can be felt everywhere. Just mentioning the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre, Notre Dame, Sacre Coeur...

Crete and its pink beaches
Crete is the largest Greek island. It is considered the cradle of European civilization. The island was the center of the Minoan civilization, and according to Greek mythology, the ruler of the Olympic gods, Zeus, was born here. We decided to focus on its western part, where there are unique pink beaches. And literally.
