| Treviso Veneto Italy - a charming oasis by Caz Crutchley. I stumbled upon this city by chance. Flying by Ryanair to Venice from Malta I arrived at Treviso airport and not Marco
Polo in Venice some 30 miles away. Now you may think that this error of distance was a spoiler to a 2 day break.
Instead it was an unanticipated pleasure.

Rock Island.

| Visiting Fethiye, Turkey: Temple Tombs and more by W. Ruth Kozak. I’m standing at the bottom of a steep flight of stone steps. High above me I can see the facades of the Doric-style temples that are cut into the cliff
