On the Great Ocean Road from Melbourne

 If you're looking for a place to stay while traveling on the Great Ocean Road from Melbourne, you may want to consider staying in Torquay, a little seaside town located about 100 km and one hour from the city. While it's not the most scenic town on the road, it is a good place to stop for a coffee break and to view the local wildlife. The town is also home to Bells Beach, one of the best surfing beaches in Australia.

Many tours to the Great Ocean Road from Melbourne start in Melbourne and head west, but you can also take a turn around and take the road in the other direction. If you're looking to avoid crowds, you'll need to get out early in the morning. You can also opt for organized tours that head the opposite way, but they will require you to spend the whole day in a bus.

If you're interested in a more in-depth tour, consider taking an overnight tour. After departing from Melbourne, you'll head west toward the town of Port Campbell. En route, you'll pass the site of Tower Hill Volcano and a First Nations walk. This walk will give you a better understanding of the lifestyle of the indigenous people of Australia. You'll also learn about their bush tucker and medicines, which are integral to their daily life.

Another popular stop along the Great Ocean Road is Lorne. This town is home to many local Victorians, as well as Melburnians who come out for weekends and even school trips. This town is a popular vacation spot for camping and surfing. It is also an ideal place to spend the night while traveling on the Great Ocean Road.

Another must-see stop along the Great Ocean Road is the Twelve Apostles, a massive limestone formation in the Port Campbell National Park. This spectacular natural attraction is only about 900km from Melbourne. You should also make time to visit the nearby Loch Ard Gorge. It's just a short drive away and is a must-see on your Great Ocean Road journey.

If you're traveling by car, you might want to start your trip with a couple of stops along the way. Probably the most beautiful stretch of the road is between Lorne and Apollo Bay, where you can watch wild koalas and dozens of exotic birds.

Girona

We visited the city of Girona quite often, but, surprisingly, all our visits were connected with the local airport – one of Russian low-cost airlines brings tourists there. And almost all the time, we perceived Girona as a “neighborhood of Barcelona” and a kind of “old step” on the way to the big city. It was totally undeserved. Finally, we decided to correct this injustice. I have not seen such enthusiasm to take photos for a long time.   The history of the city begins before our era, because the Iberians who settled these places needed a fortified structure on the road to Gaul, and the Romans needed the same for wars with the Moors . It was the Romans who gave the name “Gerund” to the settlement, which later became Girona. The County of Girona (one of 14 original Catalan counties), which passed under the rule of various ruling dynasties (mainly France and Spain), was formed as a result of various feudal collisions in the Middle Ages.   In relatively recent history, Girona has been da

Nice

  Nice is among the best cities to go to in France and will surely make you glad you decided to spend your vacation there. It lies in the French Riviera region, in Southern France, bordered on one side by the Atlantic Ocean and on the other by the Mediterranean Sea. Nice is also quite a good place to base yourself during your visit for exploring the rich cultural history of this lovely region. In addition to being an attractive tourist destination, Nice has many attractions for travelers to check out. One of the best things about Nice is the diversity of its culture and climate. Because Nice is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea, its weather is often hot and humid, giving Nice the distinction of being the best places to swim during the summer. Other than Nice beaches, there are other great places to enjoy Nice holidays, such as the Picasso Museum, which is well worth a visit, as is the Basilica de Nice. People who enjoy art will find much to appreciate in Nice and the surrounding region

Monaco

Monaco, ruled by Prince Albert II of the Grimaldi dynasty, is one of the few principalities that have survived to this day. The history of this principality is rooted in the depths of centuries, and dates back to the time of the Phoenicians (and this, just think of it, the 10th century BC!). The modern history of Monaco began when the colony of the Genoese Republic was founded in this area in 1215, in then Francesco Grimaldi became a local ruler in 1297 . So, the Grimaldi dynasty has been ruling in Monaco for more than 700 years, from 1297 to our days (of course, given the fact that during this impressive period there were wars and regime changes in Europe, as a result of which Monaco passed under the protectorate of various states).   The most significant personalities that influenced the fate of the principality during the 20th century include Aristotle Onassis, who significantly strengthened the Monaco economy with his investments, and Prince Rainier III, who developed the country’s
