La route de la soie en camping car
by Niletnax · 2004-08-22 · 31 replies
Bonjour,

Je projete de faire en 2005-2006 la traversée de Paris à Shangai en camping-car en passant par :

l'Allemagne-l'Autriche-l'Italie-la Croatie-l'Albanie-la Grèce-la Turquie (istanbul-Erzurum)-l'Iran(Téhéran- Mashhad)-le Turkménistan(Mary)-l'Ouzbekistan(Samarcande-Tachkent)-le Kirghizistan(Och)-la Chine(Kashgar).

Mes questions concernent surtout la partie de la Turquie à la Chine:

(pour la Chine, il faut semble-t-il passer obligatoirement par un intermédiaire, si vous êtes rentrés en CHine sans intermédiaire avec votre propre véhicule, je suis preneuse du tuyau)

l'état des routes ? quels types de camping-car ? Est-il préférable d'avoir un véhicule tout-terrain ?

Le carnet de passage en douane est il obligatoire? Si oui, avec ce carnet avez-vous quand même rencontré des problèmes pour rentrer le véhicule dans un pays?

Y a t il des assurances à prendre ? si oui quel en est le coût ?

Prix de l'essence ?

Et tout ce qui vous semble important.

Merci de me faire profiter de votre expérience du terrain car par expérience je sais que les cartes sont bien souvent très aléatoires et les guides peu explicites des qu'il s'agit de sortir des sentiers battus.
Randonnées montagne-plage en Europe
by PierreQuebec · 2004-04-29 · 4 replies
Salut,

On a deux mois cet été en europe. On prévois déjà traverser la Provence à pied (10 jours du mont Ventoux à St-Tropez) et ensuite aller dans les Appennies en Italie (une semaine).

Ensuite j'hésite entre Albanie-Grèce et l'Autriche. On craint qu'il y ait trop de gens en Grèce because les JO.

Quelles serait selon vous les plus beau endroits d'Europe pour marcher en montagne tout en s'arrêtant de temps en temps à la plage?

Je sais que la Corse et les chemins de compostelles sont très beau mais je préfère les sentier pas trop battus...😕

Tips for a 20-day Montenegro and Croatia itinerary
by Thebigblue · 2026-03-29 · 4 replies
hello I’m looking for advice for a last-minute trip—about 3 weeks (half Montenegro, half Croatia). I’m traveling solo, backpacker style (low budget, hostels). I’m 40 and love exploring cool spots—cities, beaches, mountains, sports activities, you name it.

I’m torn between renting a car or just going with the flow using buses once I’m there. A car would definitely be more convenient, but it might be pricier—plus, parking (is it paid?) and having to return it to the same place. My plan is to start in Montenegro (flying into Podgorica or Albania) and finish in Croatia, so I’d either need to do short-term rentals per country or one-way.

In Montenegro, here are the spots I’ve noted: - Ulcinj and Velika Plaža beach - A side trip to Lake Skadar and Virpazar - Budva, Sveti Stefan, and Petrovac - Cetinje and Lovćen National Park - Kotor / Perast - Žabljak and Durmitor National Park + rafting in the Tara Canyon Is 8–10 days enough?

And in Croatia, I’ve got: - Dubrovnik - Korčula - Hvar - Split + Trogir and Krka National Park - Zadar - Plitvice Lakes National Park - Croatian Istria / Rovinj / Pula - Zagreb Around 10–12 days.

Any tips on the stops (adding or cutting some from my list) or transportation options?

Thanks in advance!
Nisyros: Greece’s most beautiful island?
by Lhorizon · 2025-12-20 · 20 replies
Hi everyone,

I hesitated for a long time before publishing this travel journal since it’s been 8 months now since I left Nisyros. But in the end, I found it too beautiful to keep quiet about. So here we go—I finally got around to writing it. Nisyros is a stunning little Greek island, and luckily, it’s well hidden. Located a good twenty hours by boat from Athens, its distance from the Greek mainland deters most tourists from visiting. That’s what makes it an off-the-beaten-path destination. So much for the general info.



Before diving into the details, I should mention that I visited by bike (despite its severe and constant volcanic elevation) as part of a solo trip from France to Turkey. Why this detail? Because out of the ten countries I crossed and the dozens of sites I saw, Nisyros is one of my top three favorites (along with Pag Island, off-season, in Croatia, and Albania for its overall beauty—stunning natural landscapes and the incredible hospitality of its people). Anyway, welcome to this travel journal dedicated to the lovely little volcanic island of Nisyros…



I arrived one beautiful morning in Mandraki, the island’s main port. The twenty-hour boat ride from Athens went by like a breeze. I slept on the deck for three or four hours, sprawled on a bench that was more or less sheltered from the wind. At this time of year (it’s May 2nd), tourists aren’t exactly flocking here, so the boat was far from full. My first glimpse of Nisyros is classic Greek island scenery: blazing sun, an azure sky, and an even deeper blue sea. The trip is off to a great start. I quickly found a small, out-of-the-way hotel (I’m one of those people who avoids crowds as much as possible when traveling, which is getting harder and harder to do). While everyone else from the boat turned right out of the port toward the center of Mandraki, I went left! My nice little hotel was just a hundred meters away, facing a pretty little Orthodox church whose red color contrasted beautifully with the deep blue sea.



I dropped off my panniers in my room so I could ride light for once, then headed toward the next village: Pali. It’s a small fishing village that apparently comes to life a bit in the summer with a few tourists.



As I pedaled along the dock, I passed right by a guy sitting in a chair in full sun. Unfazed despite the sweat pouring down his forehead, he untangled his fishing net with a precision that commanded respect. I gave him the obligatory kalimera (good morning), but he reacted like a deaf-mute—no response at all. On the other hand, his employee answered me kindly from the trawler docked right next to him. Standing on deck, he was also untangling a mess of nets and invited me aboard to chat. That’s Mohamed.



Communication wasn’t easy since he only spoke Greek and I didn’t, but he was cheerful, and his joy was contagious. He proudly showed off their catch of the day: two beautiful rays and a few brightly colored fish. We chatted like that for about fifteen minutes.



When it was time to hit the road again, I said goodbye to Mohamed, who smiled back. But this time, his boss—still dripping sweat in his chair under the scorching sun—greeted me too. Turns out he wasn’t deaf or mute after all.



I continued along the coast since that’s where most of Nisyros’ beaches are. They start lining up just outside Pali. These are black sand beaches, which can’t hide their volcanic origins.



Yesterday afternoon in Athens, I met Peter and Michelle, a Dutch-French couple, while we were waiting for the ferry to depart. The Greek sailors were on strike, so we ended up waiting about twelve hours before setting off. Anyway, we had plenty of time to chat, and Peter, who’s lived on Tilos—a small island near Nisyros—for about twenty years, told me that many migrants pass through these two islands. Most come from Afghanistan and Syria, fleeing authoritarian regimes and the massacres that come with them. They’re looking for *anywhere* else where the future can’t possibly be worse. Peter explained that you often find their belongings on the local beaches. And sure enough, I didn’t have to look far to spot some—clothes, life jackets…



I glanced around, hoping to see one of them to maybe exchange a few words, but no—no one. I was completely alone.



I got back on my bike and spent the rest of the day wandering aimlessly, just exploring this beautiful part of Nisyros. I also picked up some supplies because tomorrow, I’d be heading inland for two days, deep into its four-kilometer-wide caldera to explore the volcano. I’d be sleeping in a tent, so I needed to stock up on food. After a restful night in a real bed—something rare on this bike trip (and I won’t even mention the shower…)—I finally set off for the volcano (I’ll share details about that charming little hotel with the amazing breakfasts at the end of the journal). To reach Stefanos (the name of the main crater), I had to climb to the top of the caldera. It was hot, and some of the slopes were between 10 and 15%, which is steep, especially with a 54 kg bike. But who cares? I was admiring the scenery, and I have to say, I was surprised by how green it was. The higher I climbed, the more beautiful the vegetation became. It stood out against the blue of the sea, and the landscapes inside the island were truly stunning. So, I stopped every five minutes to take photos. Every now and then, I’d come across cows in the middle of the road—or goats in the trees! They climbed with the agility of monkeys to munch on the leaves. I couldn’t get a photo of them because they’d all scatter before I got close. It was actually the noise they made climbing down that tipped me off to their presence. Two villages sit at the top of the caldera: Emporios and Nikia. I passed the first one without climbing up to it, then continued to the second. And let me tell you, Nikia was love at first sight! I found myself pedaling through tiny streets, some barely wider than my bike with its panniers. The walls were white, and the doors were painted in all sorts of colors—green, blue, red… The streets were empty, and silence reigned. But it wasn’t a dead silence. It was more like the kind you find in small, secret, peaceful places. The village exuded tranquility, calm, and well-being. I leaned my bike—with all its gear—against a wall without locking it. It was the first time on this trip that I’d done that. Sure, its weight made it more like a tank than a bike, so you’d have to be *really* motivated to steal it, but here, for some reason, I felt completely at ease. Maybe it wasn’t the smartest move, but I go a lot by instinct, and here, it felt right. So I left my bike there and went to eat a little farther away, at a small restaurant on the village’s main square. It’s famous all over Greece for the beautiful mosaic that covers and decorates the floor. Once I’d eaten and drunk my fill, I hopped back on my bike, which had waited patiently without running off. And the best part? After riding uphill all morning to reach the top of the caldera, all I had to do now was coast downhill to the volcano. Pure bliss in such breathtaking scenery.
Travel companion for a world cycling tour in 2028
by Moietyou · 2025-07-16 · 4 replies
Hi everyone, I’m planning a round-the-world cycling trip and I’m looking for a travel companion. I’m aiming to set off in 2028 (so we’ve got time to get to know each other). The philosophy behind this long-term journey—spanning several years (at least 3)—is camping and as much self-sufficiency as possible. For me, this’ll be the last trip I take (I’ll be 67 and finally retired). As a result, I plan to visit a ton of places. If you’re interested, more info by email.

Accommodation in Croatia, Dalmatia in August

Hi I’m offering my 29-year-old daughter a trip to Croatia. We can only go in August, and we’d love to combine hiking and snorkeling. It seems like Dalmatia could be perfect for both—do you know of any youth hostels or Airbnbs at reasonable prices? Thanks in advance Laurence from Bayonne
Draft itinerary for Greece
by Andrechenard · 2025-05-24 · 9 replies
Hi everyone, I’m planning my first trip to Greece from October 29th to November 23rd and I’d love to hear your thoughts and suggestions on the itinerary I’m considering. For a first visit, I’ll definitely cover the traditional tourist route, but I’m also open to off-the-beaten-path ideas. I’m curious and interested in history, archaeological sites, and the islands—more for culture than beaches, anyway, especially in November!

Here’s the plan: 3–4 days in Athens, 2 days in Nafplio: visiting Epidaurus and Mycenae, Stop in Olympia on the way to Delphi via Patras by bus? To avoid backtracking to Athens; 2 days in Delphi, including the site and Mount Parnassus, Explore the Ionian coast and a few islands? A few days in Corfu, 3 days in Meteora, 2–3 days in Thessaloniki, Direct flight from Thessaloniki to Heraklion, Crete, 3–4 days in Crete, November 22nd–23rd: overnight ferry back to Athens to catch my return flight to Montreal.

You’ve probably guessed I’m traveling solo. It might seem a bit scattered right now—I’ve started reading up on Greece, and there are must-see spots. What feels unclear are the 4–5 days between Delphi and Corfu. Also, mid-November in the islands might not be ideal if the weather’s bad.

Is Corfu worth it? Maybe there are other options—like a few days in Albania? Just throwing the idea out there.

Thanks for your input! I’d love to hear about your experiences to help enrich my upcoming trip.
Travel trends to watch in 2025
by VoyageForum · 2025-03-12 · 0 replies
Travelers in 2025 are leaning toward immersive and original experiences. Here are 3 new trendy terms to casually drop in your next conversation 😉:

"Cowboy Core" is gaining popularity, with trips focused on country music and horseback riding across vast plains.

"Destination Dupes" offer less crowded and more affordable alternatives to overrun tourist spots, like Albania instead of the Greek islands.

Finally, "Goods Getaways" encourage tourists to discover gourmet products that have gone viral on social media—such as Japanese matcha or Dubai chocolate—by visiting their place of origin.
