P Mami Mediterranean Pleasure Spots
P Mami Mediterranean Pleasure Spots
These guides follow my exact itinerary, with links to the accommodation I stayed at as well as beach lists and food experiences. To be transparent and clear before purchase: I favour small, remote towns and cooking at home with produce as I spend days by the beaches reading my books and nights at the dinner table with random Italian families. If you are here for the best clubs, bars, museums, major cities and fancy pants restaurants - then unfortunately this guide is not for you. I travel with intuition, mainly solo or with the right people and I move with very loose plans. I share with you the only thing I know so well, which is the way that I travel best. So - take it with a grain of salt and the opportunity to learn, see and read about how I squeeze the damn life out of the ultimate Mediterranean Sea vacay.
