Into the heart of the Piedmont region: Blue Air now flying to Turin

Tuscany is magnificent, the Adriatic is beautiful, but have you ever been to Piedmont? The north-west region of Italy is still regarded as an insider tip and barely even considered by many holidaymakers as a travel destination. As of spring, Piedmont will be even easier to get to thanks to non-stop flights from Berlin to Turin. Starting on 2 May 2016, Blue Air will be operating flights from Berlin to Caselle in Turin every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. One look at the region’s magnificent lakes, castles and landscape and you will soon be captivated. Be sure to visit the vineyard-covered rolling hills of Monferrat, where exquisite wines such as Barolo are produced. At the heart of the region lies Turin, which has become an attractive city of culture with more than 40 museums.

Fly Turkish Airlines to southern Anatolia: new flights to Gaziantep

Gaziantep? While it may not roll off the tongue, the name is best known in Turkey for its extremely delicious pistachios. Whether in sweet pastries such as Baklava, as a topping on Turkish pizzas or in a stew, you will find them everywhere in Gaziantep. Food in general is a big thing in the south-eastern Anatolian city. Only last year, the city was added to UNESCO’s gastronomy list for its Arabian cuisine. Embark on a culinary journey of discovery! As of July 2016, Turkish Airlines will be offering flights from Berlin Tegel to the east Turkish city every Wednesday. Gaziantep has a well-restored old town, where you can discover its main sightseeing attractions on a cultural route signposted in two languages.

Back to nature: a trip to the Uckermark

Not long now before we can finally throw off our winter boots and slip on our spring jacket. The perfect time to plan a weekend trip to somewhere nearby. For example, the Uckermark. Just 80 kilometres from Berlin, in the north-eastern part of Brandenburg, it borders on Mecklenburg and neighbouring Poland. Those looking for peace and tranquillity are sure to find it here: the Uckermark is one of the most sparsely populated regions in Germany. Walkers will be in their element, too, on the more than one thousand kilometres of trails. Nestled in the hilly landscape of the Uckermark are fortresses and castles as well as simple stately homes and dreamy manorial villages.
