This is Tivat’s waterfront heart—a lively promenade lined with palm trees, cafés, and the occasional moored yacht. Locals linger over espresso, kids ride bikes, and visitors take their time soaking in the bay views. The sea is just a few steps away, so if the sun gets too much, a quick splash will do the trick.

Tropea is a small town located on the east coast of Calabria, 64 km from Lamezia. It’s known for its white beaches which run right up to Capo Vaticano, its clifftop historic centre, and prized red onions. The town itself is quite picturesque and romantic with winding streets and beautiful small piazzas. Noteworthy is the 12th-century Tropea Cathedral, which was built in distinctive yellow lava rock by the Normans during the 12th century and houses an interesting black crucifix, two unexploded World War II bombs, and a painting of the dark-skinned Madonna of Romania. Due to a number of wonders, the citizens of Tropea have proclaimed the Virgin Mary of Romania the patron of the village.

The La Brea Tar Pits and Museum offer a rare, up-close look at Ice Age fossils still being uncovered in the heart of Los Angeles.

Today, visitors can explore these discoveries in the museum, watch scientists at work in the Fossil Lab, and even see active excavation sites like Project 23, where new fossils are unearthed daily.
