  • Tag med på en spændende gåtur med Eleni Ellinas. Hun er en dedikeret turguide og coach, der bringer Cyperns interessante og ofte ufortalte historier til live. I denne episode udforsker vi Den Grønne Linje i Nicosia, den sidste delte hovedstad i verden, og dykker ned i hendes unikke perspektiv.

    Oplev Cyperns historiske og kulturelle hjerte, fra den venetianske gamle bydel til de spøgelsesagtige rester i bufferzonen. Eleni deler sine håb om genforening og den vedholdende ånd blandt det cypriotiske folk. Hun er græsk cypriot, men først og fremmest blot cypriot.

    Glæd dig til mere om den tyrkiske invasion i 1974 og spøgelsesbyen Varosha i næste episode.

  • Tag med mig på en rejse gennem Cypern, en Middelhavsperle fyldt med historie, naturskønne landskaber og en levende kultur. Vi starter i den charmerende by Paphos på øens sydvestlige kyst, der er kendt for sin rige historie og betagende natur. Historisk set er Paphos berømt som fødestedet for Afrodite, den græske gudinde for kærlighed og skønhed. Du vil se henvisninger til hende overalt i byen, især ved Afrodites Rocks, et smukt sted ved havet, hvor hun siges at være steget op.

    Byen huser også utrolige arkæologiske steder, der har sikret den en plads på UNESCOs verdensarvsliste. Paphos Arkæologiske Park omfatter fantastiske mosaikker i Dionysos, Theseus og Aion-husene, velbevarede ruiner fra oldtiden og endda et antikt teater, der stadig bruges i dag til forestillinger. Udover de historiske steder har Paphos et livligt havneområde med caféer, restauranter og barer, hvor du kan slappe af og nyde havudsigten. Det fungerer også godt som udgangspunkt til at udforske naturvidunderne i området, der er kendt for sine vandrestier og rige dyreliv.

    Samlet set tilbyder Paphos en god blanding af historie, kultur og natur, hvilket gør det til et must-visit spot for enhver, der rejser til Cypern. Vi udforsker også steder som skibsvraget ved Oniro By The Sea, der er blevet en del af områdets charme efter et forlis og har tiltrukket turister fra hele verden. Plus, jeg møder også en anden globetrotter, Cindy Shearan, og sammen udforsker vi den udfordrende Caledonian Falls Trail. Lyt til episoden for at høre mere om Cypern og Cindys rejse.

    Join me as I embark on a journey through Cyprus, a Mediterranean gem boasting rich history, stunning landscapes, and vibrant culture.

  • Welcome to this episode of Vagabond Shorts, where I switch gears from our usual travel tales to discuss tourist scams and how to avoid them. This isn’t about casting a shadow over the beautiful places I’ve visited but sharing insider tips to ensure your travels are smooth and scam-free.

    With 8 years of constant travel, I’ve encountered my fair share of scams, from overpriced taxis to disappearing tours. Join me with your drink of choice as we delve into these scams, sharing do’s and don'ts and keeping our sense of humor alive. It’s about staying savvy, not scared, and turning these experiences into memorable stories. Let’s learn to outsmart the tricksters and enjoy our adventures to the fullest.

    The Taxi Overcharge has caught me off guard more than once. My tip? Always agree on a fare before starting your journey or insist on using the meter, and keep an eye on your route via your phone.

    The Distract and Grab or The Spill on Your Clothes scam relies on distraction. Someone spills something on you, offers to clean it up, and while you're distracted, an accomplice swipes your valuables. The key to avoiding this? Stay alert and keep your belongings secure.

    The Tale of the Disappearing Act of the Not-So-Magical Tours targets our desire to explore hidden spots. These offers often sound too good to be true because they are. My advice is to approach such deals with skepticism, do thorough research, check reviews, and prefer booking through reliable sources.

    I'm curious about your experiences with scams. Have you ever been impressed by the cunning of a scam or managed to outwit one yourself? Share your tales in the comments. Also, let me know if you're interested in more insights on navigating travel scams.

    Safe travels, and remember, every scam you avoid or encounter enriches your travel story collection.

    My name is Palle Bo, and I gotta keep moving. See you.
