The Hel Peninsula in Poland offers fantastic views. This peninsula is a 35 kilometre long tongue of land that extends into the Baltic Sea. In most places it is so narrow that you can walk across it in five minutes. The feeling here, as you walk along the long white sandy beaches, is almost exotic.
Read moreOur friends have bought an apartment in Mechelinki in Poland. It is a newly built complex with a number of apartments with fantastic views of the sea. Mechelinki is quiet, but at the same time you can quickly get to bigger places like Sopot, Gdynia or Gdansk. Very nice location!
Read moreMechelinki has been a sleepy little fishing village on the Polish Baltic coast. Not far away are holiday resorts like Rewa, Hel and Sopot, but almost no tourists have found their way to Mechelinki... yet. But that may be about to change. With the help of EU funding, the village has been able to build a pier on the water, and restaurants and hotels are starting to spring up.
Read moreYesterday it was time to leave Poland and head for the ferry. We had to wait for a long time in the ferry terminal before we could roll on, but finally it was time to head for Stockholm. The ferries are pretty boring really, but we were a big group and still had a good time.
Read moreNow we have made it to Stogi campsite in Gdansk. We have been here before, but this time it was difficult to find because they are rebuilding the roads. In the end we got there anyway. This campsite is crowded but the service is good: almost all staff speak English, you get maps and there is a small restaurant/shop.
Read moreWe are at Camping Metropolis in Sopot and have now been joined by Peter's brother Dennis and his family. And that does not mean few people! The entire large American motorhome is packed. In addition, Peter's youngest son Billie came along. (He sleeps in our motorhome because we have five beds, but we can only have four in the car when we drive...) So now there are many of us at camping Metropolis in Sopot!
Read moreNow we have found a nice campsite on the Hel peninsula in Jastarnia, about halfway along the Hel peninsula on the Polish coast. Camping Maszoperia is like many other campsites here, on the inside of the peninsula. There are long beautiful sandy beaches and plenty of kite surfers.
Read moreWe received some questions from a reader about camping in Poland, and were inspired to write a post about it. Here we summarise our experiences of camping in Poland. How many campsites are there? How are they organised? And what is the standard?
Read moreDziwnow, in northeastern Poland, offers a wonderful holiday feeling in the summer. We found it more or less by chance and discovered a real gem with beautiful beaches, swaying palm trees (!) and plenty of restaurants and holiday activities.
