Coming from Sardinia to Sicily was a bit of a shock. Palermo was quiet in the early Sunday morning, but by the time we stopped to shop for food in a suburb, people had come alive. Cars honked, vendors shouted, dogs barked (or were run over) and African men insisted on packing our bags or pushing away our shopping cart to get 50 cents.

Camping is very popular in southern Europe and there are campsites everywhere. But it's not motorhomes and caravans that are the most popular - on many campsites, the largest areas are cottages and tents. So you can go camping even if you don't have a motorhome or caravan!
Read moreWe have now reached the Costa del Rei on the south-east coast of Sardinia. We had to "escape" from the hot Cagliari, where we were parked in the middle of the sun without the possibility of shade or swimming. We have taken in the camping Le Dune, where we got a relatively shady place.
Read moreNow we have made it to Porto Pino, and a campsite in southern Sardinia outside St Anna Arresi. After a lot of free camping, we had a great need for services (garbage collection, possibility to fill and empty tanks and so on) but during high season or almost high season you have to be careful not to end up at campsites with completely hysterical prices. Camping Sardegna in Porto Pino had no website - which I thought seemed promising from a price point of view.
Read moreNow we have found a favourite place in Sardinia where we feel comfortable! As soon as we rolled in yesterday we felt that "Here we stay for a while!". We started in Alghero on the west coast yesterday afternoon and drove south - on nice winding roads along the coast.
Read moreAfter three days in 'internet shadow' on the wonderful island of La Maddalena off Sardinia (we blogged from the tourist office), we wanted a campsite with good WiFi. We drove to Centro Vacanze Isuledda in northern Sardinia, where we (so far) have an ACSI discount and pay 18 euros/day.
Read morePropriano in Corsica is a charming and pleasant little village on the coast. In Propiano there is a harbour with many small boats, and although the village only has just over 3000 inhabitants, there are plenty of cosy restaurants. In the evening we found a campsite just outside: Camping Tikiti.
Read moreLast night we arrived in Porto, located in the bay of Golfe de Porto, on the west coast of Corsica. Driving along the west coast of Corsica is incredibly beautiful and when we arrived at the campsite in Porto, it didn't get any worse.
Read moreCamping in Calvi - La Pinede in Corsica! La Pinede is a really nice campsite in Calvi and a very good location in north-west Corsica. You can walk straight down to the beach from the campsite, and the town is within walking distance. Follow us to the campsite in Calvi in Corsica in text and pictures! We wanted to tell you a little about this campsite, and also a little about our general experience of camping in Corsica.
Read moreNaturist campsite in Corsica, at Aléria on the east coast. The campsite is on a huge area and the motorhomes, caravans and tents are scattered here and there on the beaches and in the forest. It doesn't really feel like being on a campsite, but rather in a huge natural area. We have positioned ourselves so we have the Mediterranean Sea through the window in front of us - not a bad view! Join us at a naturist campsite in Corsica!
