Hotel Nungwi, Zanzibar
Hotel Nungwi, Zanzibar

We stayed at Hotel Nungwi (the name isn’t complete, because its owners are Russian and I don’t want to advertise them). It’s a small hotel with, if I counted correctly, 12 rooms. We stayed in standard room 12, opposite the hotel restaurant. The hotel is run by a Russian family, Dasha and Maksym. Very welcoming,... » read more

GRAND PARK KEMER 5 Hotel — Turkey

The GRAND PARK KEMER hotel is in the lovely village of Beldibi, not far from Kemer — in fact, at the other end of the village from Club Hotel Belpinar, where we began our travels.

GURU Hotel — Georgia (Tbilisi)
GURU Hotel — Georgia (Tbilisi)

The GURU hotel became our home in the second tastiest country of our travels — Georgia. As always, we prepared for our flight to this country, and every time I read about Georgia my mouth was watering. Every comment, description or article about Georgia had at least one photo or a brief mention of food.... » read more
