Curated travel inspiration from around the world

Inspiration

Inspiration isn’t about ticking off the places everyone already knows. It’s about the destination you’ve never considered, the type of holiday you thought wasn’t you, the one that doesn’t come up in conversation. This is where we step outside the obvious, beyond the familiar bucket list, and look at travel with fresh eyes.

But stay a little longer and another Vilnius emerges: eccentric, youthful and distinctly fond of eating and drinking.

Which of the Cyclades Islands in Greece should you visit?

If you had a bird's eye view of the Greek-owned Cyclades, they would look like an intriguing mosaic of 20 tufts of verdant earth floating on the turquoise waters of the Aegean sea. It's an incredible formation created by the geological changes that took place millions of years ago.

What to do in San Pedro de Atacama, Chile

This is the driest and often the hottest place on Earth, where some areas are so high above sea level that it can be difficult to breathe. Petulant temperatures offer up freezing mornings and evenings and boiling hot afternoons. There's a sparse desert where llamas roam freely, mineral-rich canyons, a pristine night sky, shining lagoons that look like artwork, and smoking volcanoes of the Andes emit cloud-like plumes of steam replete with pulverised rock.
