How to plan a vacation to the Maldives for under 1000€? When is the best time to go? What about transportation, payments, internet, and other things? Keep reading. We bring you a unique summary of tips and tricks on how to smartly and affordably travel around the Maldives.

In the Maldives, it is common for flight departures to be early in the morning, so you need to spend one to two nights somewhere near the airport. You can choose between Male, Hulhumale, or even Villingili. Since we wanted to avoid the overcrowded Male and Villingili does not have a bikini beach, Hulhumale won by process of elimination. This island is artificially built and connected by a road to the airport island.

In the first article about the Maldives, you could read about our engagement on the island of Fulhadhoo. Our romantic journey continued to the second island, Fehendhoo. Octopus hunting, manta rays, turtles, snorkeling on a bikini beach, a private island, sandbank, or stargazing on a bench from a football field are just a fraction of what you can experience here.

Romantic island in the middle of the Indian Ocean, turquoise lagoon, private beach with white sand, pristine underwater coral world, green palm jungle, and authentic Muslim population. The Maldivian paradise consists of over a thousand small islands, with over 200 of them being inhabited. Just choose your own and hurry, because by 2050 they may no longer exist.

October, the end of the season, the sea with a pleasant temperature, the ideal time for one last summer vacation. Our steps took us to the pearl of the Mediterranean - the renowned Sardinia. This time we organized a boys' trip and decided to visit the eastern part of the island, Olbia. The Tyrrhenian Sea has a pleasant 21°C and the beaches on the Emerald Coast are like the Caribbean. In addition, we have accommodation by the beach on the deserted outskirts of the town, where relaxation can begin.

In Thailand, you can truly let yourself go. Beautiful beaches, rainforests, amazing food, massages, and incredibly kind people. Everyone will find something for themselves here. The cost of living is significantly lower than in our capital city, so it is an ideal place for a longer vacation. Check out a selection of photos from our 17-day trip to Thailand.

Khao Sok National Park is the largest national park in southern Thailand and is a remnant of a rainforest that is older and much more diverse than the Amazon rainforest. Beautiful sandstone and shale cliffs tower above Cheow Lan Lake up to heights of 300 to 600 meters. The park traverses a limestone mountain range from north to south with the highest point reaching 950 meters. Compared to tourist areas like Krabi and Phuket, you will appreciate the divine peace and romantic setting in the pristine nature.

Thailand is now a symbol of cheap exoticism for the Western world. Food, attractions, roaming around the country can be afforded at below-average European prices. We have planned our 17-day trip along the route Krabi - Khao Sok - Koh Tao - Koh Samui with a mandatory stop in the controversial Bangkok on the way back.

The goal of the vacation here is not just lounging on the beach. The historical center is inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the island of Lokrum is a short ferry ride away, perfect for a little hiking, and of course, there are other options we will talk about.

A city built by the firm hand of dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu, swept by communism and poverty, is now accessible thanks to cheap tickets from Budapest through Wizz Air. With a budget of 120€ including flights, you too can enjoy a nice weekend in this metropolis of Romania. The expansive historic center, Ceaușescu's Palace, the Triumphal Arch, and relaxing parks are our top picks for the main program. And of course, excellent gastronomy.
