Destination of the month - September 2009
Destination of the month: Trans-Siberian Railway. There’s not a better time than September to embark upon this epic rail journey. This is the magic hour after the heat of summer but before the chilling cold of the Russian winter.
The Trans-Siberian journey can be taken many ways, I personally would recommend taking the trans-Mongolian route from Moscow to Beijing. You’ll get to see most of the highlights of the Russian trip including Lake Baikal and Irkutsk, but you’ll also get to enjoy the isolation of Mongolia and finish your journey in the orient. The trip takes about one week and transverses over 7,000 km.
Read about my personal experiences on the Trans Siberian.

Destination of the month - May 2009
Destination of the month: Ohrid, Macedonia. While admittedly off the beaten path, Ohrid is a beautiful lakeside town in the Republic of Macedonia. Not known to too many tourists, here you can still find old world charm at bargain bin prices. If you’re a person who enjoys going to places not many others have, this could be your destination.

Destination of the month - August 2008
Destination of the Month: With the Olympics starting this month Beijing is the obvious choice but I personally try to avoid cities during the Olympics. Also Beijing in the summer isn’t exactly pleasant. So I’ve decided to go another way & choose St Petersburg, Russia as the destination of the month. I know what you’re thinking, Russia, seriously? But the truth is St Petersburg is one of the most beautiful cities in the world & with it being so far north there’s no time better than to go than August. Getting there shouldn’t be too hard as you can fly there directly from most major cities in Europe. You can also arrive via train if you happen to be in the Baltic States or Finland. There are even ferry services if you happen to be on the Baltic Sea.

Destination of the month - July 2008
The summer tourist boom is well underway & we’re recommending Mykonos as our destination of the month. The Greek Islands really come to life in the summer months, and there are many great islands such as Ios famous for its nightlife & Santorini famous for its natural beauty. We believe at Travelers Digest however that Mykonos has an excellent combination of nightlife, natural beauty, & culture. There are many ways to get to the Greek Islands, most likely you’ll have to go through Athens and then either take a ferry or fly. There are also chartered flights from other European cities, you can also take a ferry to the Greek Islands from the Turkish coast.

Getting from Sofia to Veliko Turnovo, Bulgaria
Posted in Eastern Europe by Dakota on October 2, 2008
Name: Macnaughton Alastair
Question: We arrive in Sofia airport at 11.20am on 28th August. Please could you let me have travel details for bus or train directly onwards (same day) to Veliko Turnovo. We need no other bookings as we are staying with friends. If you cannot help are you able to give me the correct website for timetables. All the websites I have tried claim to advertise transport but instead promote hotels and trips! Many thanks.
