10 Best Beaches on the Amalfi Coast

When New York–based interior designer Athena Calderone realized her 50th birthday and 25th wedding anniversary would coincide last year, she knew the double milestone called for a party. So she and her husband, Victor, a DJ and music producer, planned a two-pronged, nine-day trip to Italy. They began with an intimate vow renewal in Umbria and then let the festivities roll in Rome with 50 of their closest friends. “That city holds this rich historic legacy, and I feel like our love does too,” Calderone says. Here she shares the locals-only spots that drove the itinerary and the “opulent and over-the-top” hotel where guests danced till dawn.

Lufthansa CEO Jens Ritter is emphatic about the state of the transatlantic travel market: Business is good and continues to grow.

With year-round sunshine, white-sand beaches, a tropical vibe, and a laid-back, easygoing lifestyle à la Jimmy Buffet, it’s no wonder the Florida Keys are one of the state’s most popular destinations. And Islander Resort, which recently completed a property-wide renovation, may be one of the best home bases for exploring the area.

From Egyptian jewellery to 15th century armour to medieval illuminated manuscripts, old masters and exceptional contemporary design - Tefaf, Europe's principal fine arts fair, really has something for everyone.

You’d be forgiven for never hearing of Korčula, Croatia—a small Dalmatian island of just 106 square miles, neatly tucked beneath the country’s sprawling coastline, home to some of the best beaches in Croatia. Despite its proximity to ever-popular Dubrovnik and Hvar, Korčula gets decidedly less airtime than other idyllic stone towns in the Adriatic Sea. But look beyond the beloved TV-themed tours and penchant for partying of its neighbors, and you’ll find that this island is a gem that offers quiet beaches, unspoiled landscapes, and a crowd-free destination rich in fascinating history and culture. (And it’s pronounced KOR-chew-lah, with a slight roll of the R.)

If it's got a few playful ruffles, a bold botanical print, and an easy-breezy vibe, there's a good chance the garment you're admiring is from Zimmermann. The Australian brand, founded in 1991 by sisters Nicky and Simone Zimmermann, is still faithful to its original philosophy of feminine silhouettes, ingenious color combinations, and that laid-back Bondi Beach state of mind—something the duo know well. “There's nothing better than being on a beautiful boat on Sydney Harbour in the sun,” says Nicky. Here she and Simone share their must-do recommendations in their hometown, including where to grab a meal with a view, go for a dip, and, of course, sip a classic flat white when you need to get your caffeine fix.

The sun had begun its leisurely descent over Bodrum Town on a September afternoon when I started going back over my list, making sure I hadn’t missed anything. A stroll along the marina, pausing to take a video of a forest of Turkish flags fluttering in the wind: check. Bites of kabak cicegi dolmasi and enginar kalbi on the terrace of a restaurant overlooking gulets bobbing in the harbor below: delicious. Browsing leather shoes and handwoven towels in the labyrinthine bazaar: my credit card statement would attest to that. Satisfied, I started mapping out the route back to the hotel, working in a stop at a posh Turkish delight shop a friend in New York had recommended. I turned to my mom, ready to lead her out of the bazaar, when I noticed her hesitate.

Avelo Airlines, a low-cost airline, announced 13 new routes and three new destinations for its network, including Nassau, Bahamas, Grand Rapids, and Long Island. This comes on the heels of their recent announcement of two new routes from Charlotte to Nashville and Daytona Beach beginning in April.

For years, flying from the United States to Africa has meant enduring multiple layovers and navigating complex routings through Europe or the Middle East. But that’s starting to change.

Four years ago, my husband and I (and our dog) packed up our lives and moved from Los Angeles to Lisbon. While we have zero regrets, I still tell people who are curious about moving abroad that there are a lot of factors to consider, such as how far you'll be from family, how comfortable you'll be settling into a second culture, and if you plan to stay for a little while or forever. If you do want to stay for the long haul, then there's one more thing to think about: health care. And according to a new ranking from International Living, I've picked the perfect spot to immigrate to.
