The sun painted the Mediterranean in a deep, endless blue as I stepped onto the limestone tiers of Kourion Ancient Theatre. I’ve walked through many ruins before, places that feel frozen, like open-air museums where time has quietly stepped aside. But this place refused to be still. Kourion was alive.

Through the mist, Hala Sultan Tekke revealed itself slowly. Its white walls and slender minaret rising like a memory rather than a building. And the same time the salt lake was out of sight. It felt distant, almost unreal, as if the landscape had decided to keep its secrets just out of reach.

Between silence and life lies Famagusta. This is a place where history is not hidden in books, but etched into every wall, building and streets. From the ghostly stillness of nearby Varosha to the warm pulse of the Old Town in Famagusta, this is a city of contrasts, resilience, and stories that refuse to fade.

The clock stopped in 1974. But the shadows never did. On the 1st of April, Cyprus National Day, I stepped across the military green line to no man`s land. Two checkpoints behind me. No turning back. And this was no April Fool’s joke. 

Message to the outer space, sacred place for rituals, guidance to water sources, or for another purpose? Practical use? Through previous years many new massive ancient drawings have been discovered.

After the sunset everything erupted in a beautiful madness in Djemaa el Fna square. First call for preyer through the loudspeakers, and so the real action started in the dark with insanely noise from all kind entertainment and activities: storytelling, music, singing, drumming, dancing, shouting, snake charming, monkeys shows and more. If you are looking for chaos, you can find it just here at the night market in Marrakech.

Experiencing magical sights of Istanbul is an adventure far beyond any fairytale. Istanbul is also a very unique city due to the fact that it is part of both Europe and Asia, separated by the Bosphorus strait that connects the Black Sea with the Mediterranean.

Experienced Masada - an amazing archaeological site in Israel. Masada rises 300 meters above the desert. Got insight in a dramatic episode from old time and become totally shocked. 

Hagia Sophia with the massive dome, located in Istanbul, Turkey is a real wonder of the world. It was the greatest Christian cathedral of the Middle Ages. Magic atmosphere. 

Took a step beneath the stone walls of Cardiff Castle - there lies a story of quiet courage. There I found more than towers, battlements, and grand apartments. Hidden deep within its thick stone walls lies a powerful reminder of the city’s wartime past.

Wandered one day in January 2026 through Cardiff’s past, step by step. The most amazing moment was standing alone at the top of Cardiff Castle. There the wind brushed my face while thin sun rays cut through the clouds, I felt an unexpected clarity settle in. 

Hidden beneath jungle vines and red earth, the ruins of San Ignacio Mission tell a powerful story of faith, encounter, and fragile coexistence. Walking among these ancient stones in northern Argentina, I followed the footsteps of Jesuit missionaries and the Guaraní people, where belief, culture, and history once collided - and where their echoes still linger in the silence today.
