oh nessebar can be a real paradise if you know how to make the best of it. watch out for the jellyfish and visit the marina, you might even end catching a fish! a nice place to run away from the everyday routine with your loved one! i've been there two times so far and... see you there again next year!

From Blog: Nessebar or Nesebar - seen both.

Varna - the best city!!!
Just want to say that I love Varna, I love everything about this amazing city, that I kept going there for every summer holiday. This summer I have bought a property in Varna as I love this fantastic city and want to move there and enjoy my life.

Dump & Thessaloniki
I stand by my description - I've seen thousands of cities world wide. Foti: thanks for the personal assumptions - all wrong. Phaeden: Yes you are biased - if you like the city and enjoy your life there - great. I had a bad time there - I don't blame the city or people but it coloured my view of it, and a lot of it is ugly - granted earthquakes and fires have made it that way. If you want to have a rose coloured view of Thessaloniki - please just read the positives section.

You obviously didn't go visit the right places...
Thessaloniki is maybe the most beautiful and livable city in Greece, not only in my opinion which is biased since I live there, but also in the opinion of thousands of people I have met from all over Greece. Granted there are the problems that you described (rudeness, almost crazy traffic) but it is not such a big deal if you are used to it; which you obviously weren't. To call it a dump is just ridiculous... anyway as we say in Greece "we can't be liked by Everyone"...

Menara
I think the name you are looking for is Menara Kuala Lumpur. The word actually means tower. Imagine that. Nice obligatory shots of Petronas Towers btw! ;-) Glad to see you on the road again buddy... just remember when you run into one of us: and I was all, and she was like, and I was like, and I did this country and that one... hehehe

Wow!!!
Great pix and nice text!!! I luv Stockholm much, but as all my visits there were accompanied by a Swedish guy I like. Pix are really nice, especially beautiful one from the Vaasa Museum - I tried to do alike ones, but my camera crashed. =( Also, I like reading Ali's reviews - after reading one about trip to Tallinn, can't wait to go there (I've already bought trip to there, and now really can't wait!!!!) Thanx much, Ali!!! I'm waiting for your future reviews already!!!!
