One thought on “Holiday 5”

We had the holiday of a lifetime sailing in Turkey on Holiday 5 gulet. The boat was well equipped for our large group and the crew welcoming. It was our first time on a gulet cruise and would definitely recommend Albatros Yachting to family and friends. We hope to come back again next year. | Şehir : UK

Holiday5 gulet Itineraries and Menu

This gulet is available for charters in Turkey. Her base port base port is Marmaris, but she can be also available from other Of Turkey

The gulet is a classic wooden boat, which has its origins in Turkey, to then be exported all over the world. Originally the gulet was used by Turkish fishermen as a work boat, for fishing and for transporting goods. Therefore, it is fascinating to think about how these boats sailed along the Aegean Sea and the Mediterranean Sea hundreds of years ago. However, because of the breadth of its spaces, once equipped with all the comforts, the intended use of the gulet has become a tourist destination, while maintaining all the charm of its history that permeates from the woods. The local shipwreck masters who build them, use common woods such as pine and more precious ones such as teak, iroko and mahogany. The gulet sailed mainly by motor but with its sails explained it showed all its elegance.

Private gulet charter holiday can be compared to best hotels stay with the difference that on gulet everything will be exclusively made for you ! With family or friends, cruising with a gulet, taken care of by an efficient and discreet crew, is the ultimate way to relax and unwind!

Gulets are traditional Turkish motor yachts, which are beautifully crafted from wood. They have a spacious sundeck, perfect for soaking up the sun and admiring the views as you cruise the clear waters of the Aegean and Mediterranean. A gulet cruise allows you to reach secluded bays not accessible by land and to swim in the clearest of water, away from the shore.

From time to time you will stop off to visit places of interest along your route, the perfect way to explore the remains of the ancient civilizations, which once inhabited this part of the world. Our gulets have between 3 to 10 cabins. All cabins are equipped with air conditioning and en suite facilities including WC, hand basin and shower. Air conditioning cannot be operated whilst gulets are in harbour and will operate usually between 3 to 5 hours per day. We have a huge selection of gulet holidays for your pleasure.  Whether it is a private gulet hire in Turkey or Greece, a luxury gulet holiday in the Ionian Islands, a voyage in the Adriatic, island hopping in the Med or another amazing experience, we have you covered.

TOKYO (AP) — Asian shares were trading mixed Tuesday a day after Chinese markets reopened from a long Lunar New Year holiday.

Wall Street trading was closed Monday in the United States for President’s Day. Investors were generally turning less optimistic because of expectations that higher interest rates would likely kick in soon.

China’s central bank kept its 1-year loan prime rate unchanged on Tuesday but cut its 5-year rate by 25 basis points to 3.95%.

Hong Kong’s Hang Seng shed 0.3% to 16,114.68, while the Shanghai Composite lost 0.1% to 2,907.02.

Japan’s benchmark Nikkei 225 lost early gains to be little changed, inching up less than 0.1% in morning trading at 38,473.21.

Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 slipped 0.3% to 7,641.30. South Korea’s Kospi lost nearly 1.0% to 2,654.72.

A recent U.S. report on inflation at the wholesale level has indicated that rising prices still continues. Such data tend to squelch hopes that the Federal Reserve could begin cutting interest rates in March.

In energy trading, U.S. benchmark crude added 26 cents to $79.43 a barrel. Brent crude, the international standard, shed 2 cents to $83.54 per barrel.

In currency trading, the U.S. dollar rose to 150.32 Japanese yen from 150.10 yen. The euro cost $1.0765, down from $1.0783.

I’ve been visiting Turkey for 30 years — here’s what I’m excited about for 2024

Hammams, historic sites and hot hotels — our expert has the pick of all that’s new for holidays to turkey this year, from istanbul to the lycian coast.

I t’s almost 30 years since I booked the holiday that would change my life. Fresh out of uni and looking for adventure, I still remember that first transfer from Dalaman airport to Kalkan. A winding, single-track road, leading through forested mountains, past crumbling whitewashed cottages, the grandiose scenery like nothing I’d ever seen.

In the mid-Nineties, tourism was still relatively new — three decades later, villages have grown into resorts, hillsides are dotted with villas and hotels and those winding roads are now dual carriageways, whisking millions of visitors to their hotels. Yet Turkey’s soul remains unchanged: a great, warm hug of a country that still feels like home every time I step off the plane.

I love Turkey for its spectacular landscapes, warm seas, rich and varied cuisine (it’s fantastic for vegetarians) — but mostly for its people, who welcome visitors with good humour, warmth and a deep sense of pride in their country and its traditions.

• Turkey travel guide: all you need to know • 14 best places to visit in Turkey

We all know it’s not without its issues, but for me, at least, a country is not its government or its politics — it’s the people you meet and the welcome you receive. Last summer, more than three million Brits visited — lots, like me, visitors who’ve been returning for many years, drawn back to a genuinely extraordinary place. Here are the Turkish trips you should be considering for 2024.

Istanbul: history, hammams and the Hagia Sophia

Istanbul continues to up its cultural game in 2024, with the opening of the 500-year-old Zeyrek Cinili Hamam in March, combining a state-of-the-art museum with one of the most beautiful bathhouses in the city (museum £4; zeyrekcinilihamam.com). It follows on from the Hagia Sophia History Museum (£21; demmuseums.com) and Istanbul Modern (£13; istanbulmodern.org) — both of which opened last summer, with the latter designed by Renzo Piano and included in Architectural Digest’s “Works of Wonder 2024” list. Combine visits to all three with a stay at the newly opened Sanasaryan Han hotel, a slick, modernist reinvention of an elegant neoclassical building in the Sirkeci neighbourhood, in the heart of the old town. Details Three nights’ B&B from £950pp, including flights, transfers and a half-day’s guided sightseeing (wixsquared.com)

Walking the Taurus mountains

Turkey’s gargantuan Taurus mountains offer spectacular hiking for experienced walkers, and this new small-group holiday from Ramble Worldwide brings together the highlights of the 300-mile St Paul’s trail, which stretches from Perge, close to the Antalyan coast, to the ancient city of Sagalassos in Anatolia. Each day explores a different section, from the jagged beauty of the 400m-deep Koprulu Canyon to the atmospheric ruined cities of Pisidia and Sivri Hill, where the great, glittering Lake Egirdir rolls out below. Accompanied by a local walking guide, you’ll stay in simple pensions that offer fantastic home-cooked food and classic Turkish warmth. Details Seven nights’ full board from £1,630pp, including flights and transfers (rambleworldwide.co.uk)

New seafront boutique hotel near Kas

Often overlooked for its glitzier sibling, Kalkan, Kas is a charming seaside town where much of the tourist development is tucked away on the Kas peninsula, five minutes’ drive from the centre. New from Simpson Travel for 2024 is Casa Bi, a 16-room boutique hotel right on the waterfront, with each of six low-rise buildings designed to make the most of the glorious sea views and peach-coloured sunsets. Breakfast and lunch are taken on the terrace above the sea, while in the evening taxis buzz back and forth from the centre, making it easy to dip into Kas’s vibrant restaurant scene. Details Seven nights’ B&B from £1,395pp, including flights and car hire (simpsontravel.com)

Cycle and sail the Lycian coast

Exploring Turkey’s small mountain roads and quiet byways means you can immerse yourself in the country’s spectacular scenery and peaceful villages — particularly if you’re doing it on two wheels. This new tour from UTracks takes in the backcountry behind popular resorts such as Bodrum and Fethiye, beginning on the unspoilt Datca peninsula and stopping by the tranquil waters of Lake Koycegiz as well as the abandoned Greek city of Kayakoy, high above the package resort of Olu Deniz. The terrain is fairly challenging, but nights are spent on a motor cruiser that glides between resorts, offering restful evenings after active days. Details Seven nights’ half-board from £1,950pp (utracks.com). Fly to Bodrum or Dalaman

Izmir and the Urla wine trail

New flights to Izmir from Heathrow with British Airways and Bristol with Wizzair are opening up Turkey’s Aegean coast to independent travellers, with the chic resorts of Alacati and Ayvalik both handy for the airport. It’s also an ideal starting point for discovering the Urla region, fast becoming Turkey’s answer to Tuscany, with a wine route that links eight of the best vineyards, all open for tastings and within easy driving distance of one another. The Urla Sarapcilik winery is also home to the 2 Rooms Hotel; two serene, white-walled bedrooms, lovely landscaped gardens and a breakfast terrace overlooking the vines. Details B&B doubles from £188 (2roomshotel.com)

Private cruise from Bodrum

A week on a gulet can be one of the best ways to discover Turkey’s history-laced coastline, and this new private-charter History Voyage from Salamander Voyages offers the chance to explore with a group of friends or family. Beginning in Bodrum, with visits to the Halicarnassus amphitheatre and Myndos, the route takes in the ancient site of Knidos on the Datca peninsula and Cleopatra’s Island, in the beautiful Bay of Gokova. Life on board the gulet is lazily luxurious, with a private chef and all meals and house drinks included along with paddleboards and canoes, while waterskiing and wakeboarding are available at an additional charge. Details Seven nights’ full board for 12 from £19,950 (salamandervoyages.com). Fly to Bodrum

Kalkan’s cool new villas

Kalkan now has so many villas that many are several miles out of town, making location an increasingly important factor when booking (taxi queues and parking are both pretty challenging). Dalga One, new to Vintage Travel, is just 15 minutes’ walk from the old town, in the grounds of a small hotel complex with its own beach club where complimentary breakfast is served, while guests also get the use of a private cabana. Further around the headland (but still walkable) is Villa Babil — new to Simpson. It’s an altogether grander affair, with Kalkan’s longest villa pool, minimalist design and floor-to-ceiling windows letting in the cinematic sea views. Details Seven nights’ B&B for six at Dalga One from £4,234 (vintagetravel.co.uk). Fly to Dalaman. Seven nights’ self-catering for six at Villa Babil from £4,720, including flights and transfers (simpsontravel.com)

Hike, dive and kayak from Kas

If lazing by a pool seems a waste of Turkey’s rugged landscapes, this new group activity trip from Exodus offers the chance to scramble through canyons, kayak over ancient sites and dive beneath the waves, take a scenic coastal walk and spend a relaxing day on a gulet. No previous experience is necessary, there’s a tour leader on hand throughout, and you’ll enjoy a free day to explore the charming resort town of Kas, where you’ll be based. Take the ferry to the nearby Greek island of Kastellorizo or (for an additional cost) soar above Kas on a paragliding flight. Details Seven nights’ B&B from £949pp, plus some other meals (exodus.co.uk). Fly to Dalaman

Delice’s delicious new resort

The Delice peninsula — best known for the rather tatty beach resort of Altinkum — gets a spangly new place to stay in late spring when the Anda Barut Collection opens its doors in Didim, with three different hotel zones and a clutch of luxury villas spread across a headland, overlooking a pristine private beach. With ten restaurants, a world-class spa, kids’ clubs and a whole programme of activities and entertainment, it’s the consummate fly-and-flop resort — but it also makes a great base for exploring the spectacular ancient sites that dot the surrounding area, most notably the Temple of Apollo, one of the best-preserved temples of the ancient world. Details Seven nights’ all-inclusive from £1,722pp, including flights and transfers (britishairways.com)

Travel Itinerary For One Week in Moscow: The Best of Moscow!

I just got back from one week in Moscow. And, as you might have already guessed, it was a mind-boggling experience. It was not my first trip to the Russian capital. But I hardly ever got enough time to explore this sprawling city. Visiting places for business rarely leaves enough time for sightseeing. I think that if you’ve got one week in Russia, you can also consider splitting your time between its largest cities (i.e. Saint Petersburg ) to get the most out of your trip. Seven days will let you see the majority of the main sights and go beyond just scratching the surface. In this post, I’m going to share with you my idea of the perfect travel itinerary for one week in Moscow.

Moscow is perhaps both the business and cultural hub of Russia. There is a lot more to see here than just the Kremlin and Saint Basil’s Cathedral. Centuries-old churches with onion-shaped domes dotted around the city are in stark contrast with newly completed impressive skyscrapers of Moscow City dominating the skyline. I spent a lot of time thinking about my Moscow itinerary before I left. And this city lived up to all of my expectations.

Travel Itinerary For One Week in Moscow

Day 1 – red square and the kremlin.

Metro Station: Okhotny Ryad on Red Line.

No trip to Moscow would be complete without seeing its main attraction. The Red Square is just a stone’s throw away from several metro stations. It is home to some of the most impressive architectural masterpieces in the city. The first thing you’ll probably notice after entering it and passing vendors selling weird fur hats is the fairytale-like looking Saint Basil’s Cathedral. It was built to commemorate one of the major victories of Ivan the Terrible. I once spent 20 minutes gazing at it, trying to find the perfect angle to snap it. It was easier said than done because of the hordes of locals and tourists.

As you continue strolling around Red Square, there’s no way you can miss Gum. It was widely known as the main department store during the Soviet Era. Now this large (yet historic) shopping mall is filled with expensive boutiques, pricey eateries, etc. During my trip to Moscow, I was on a tight budget. So I only took a retro-style stroll in Gum to get a rare glimpse of a place where Soviet leaders used to grocery shop and buy their stuff. In case you want some modern shopping experience, head to the Okhotny Ryad Shopping Center with stores like New Yorker, Zara, and Adidas.

To continue this Moscow itinerary, next you may want to go inside the Kremlin walls. This is the center of Russian political power and the president’s official residence. If you’re planning to pay Kremlin a visit do your best to visit Ivan the Great Bell Tower as well. Go there as early as possible to avoid crowds and get an incredible bird’s-eye view. There are a couple of museums that are available during designated visiting hours. Make sure to book your ticket online and avoid lines.

Day 2 – Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, the Tretyakov Gallery, and the Arbat Street

Metro Station: Kropotkinskaya on Red Line

As soon as you start creating a Moscow itinerary for your second day, you’ll discover that there are plenty of metro stations that are much closer to certain sites. Depending on your route, take a closer look at the metro map to pick the closest.

The white marble walls of Christ the Saviour Cathedral are awe-inspiring. As you approach this tallest Orthodox Christian church, you may notice the bronze sculptures, magnificent arches, and cupolas that were created to commemorate Russia’s victory against Napoleon.

How to Get a Decent Haircut in a Foreign Country

Unfortunately, the current Cathedral is a replica, since original was blown to bits in 1931 by the Soviet government. The new cathedral basically follows the original design, but they have added some new elements such as marble high reliefs.

Home to some precious collection of artworks, in Tretyakov Gallery you can find more than 150,000 of works spanning centuries of artistic endeavor. Originally a privately owned gallery, it now has become one of the largest museums in Russia. The Gallery is often considered essential to visit. But I have encountered a lot of locals who have never been there.

Famous for its souvenirs, musicians, and theaters, Arbat street is among the few in Moscow that were turned into pedestrian zones. Arbat street is usually very busy with tourists and locals alike. My local friend once called it the oldest street in Moscow dating back to 1493. It is a kilometer long walking street filled with fancy gift shops, small cozy restaurants, lots of cute cafes, and street artists. It is closed to any vehicular traffic, so you can easily stroll it with kids.

Day 3 – Moscow River Boat Ride, Poklonnaya Hill Victory Park, the Moscow City

Metro Station: Kievskaya and Park Pobedy on Dark Blue Line / Vystavochnaya on Light Blue Line

Voyaging along the Moscow River is definitely one of the best ways to catch a glimpse of the city and see the attractions from a bit different perspective. Depending on your Moscow itinerary, travel budget and the time of the year, there are various types of boats available. In the summer there is no shortage of boats, and you’ll be spoiled for choice.

Travel Itinerary for One Week in Beijing

If you find yourself in Moscow during the winter months, I’d recommend going with Radisson boat cruise. These are often more expensive (yet comfy). They offer refreshments like tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and, of course, alcoholic drinks. Prices may vary but mostly depend on your food and drink selection. Find their main pier near the opulent Ukraine hotel . The hotel is one of the “Seven Sisters”, so if you’re into the charm of Stalinist architecture don’t miss a chance to stay there.

The area near Poklonnaya Hill has the closest relation to the country’s recent past. The memorial complex was completed in the mid-1990s to commemorate the Victory and WW2 casualties. Also known as the Great Patriotic War Museum, activities here include indoor attractions while the grounds around host an open-air museum with old tanks and other vehicles used on the battlefield.

How I Planned My Trip to Vietnam

The hallmark of the memorial complex and the first thing you see as you exit metro is the statue of Nike mounted to its column. This is a very impressive Obelisk with a statue of Saint George slaying the dragon at its base.

Maybe not as impressive as Shanghai’s Oriental Pearl Tower , the skyscrapers of the Moscow City (otherwise known as Moscow International Business Center) are so drastically different from dull Soviet architecture. With 239 meters and 60 floors, the Empire Tower is the seventh highest building in the business district.

The observation deck occupies 56 floor from where you have some panoramic views of the city. I loved the view in the direction of Moscow State University and Luzhniki stadium as well to the other side with residential quarters. The entrance fee is pricey, but if you’re want to get a bird’s eye view, the skyscraper is one of the best places for doing just that.

Day 4 – VDNKh, Worker and Collective Farm Woman Monument, The Ostankino TV Tower

Metro Station: VDNKh on Orange Line

VDNKh is one of my favorite attractions in Moscow. The weird abbreviation actually stands for Russian vystavka dostizheniy narodnogo khozyaystva (Exhibition of Achievements of the National Economy). With more than 200 buildings and 30 pavilions on the grounds, VDNKh serves as an open-air museum. You can easily spend a full day here since the park occupies a very large area.

Places to Visit in Barcelona That Aren’t Beaches

First, there are pavilions that used to showcase different cultures the USSR was made of. Additionally, there is a number of shopping pavilions, as well as Moskvarium (an Oceanarium) that features a variety of marine species. VDNKh is a popular venue for events and fairs. There is always something going on, so I’d recommend checking their website if you want to see some particular exhibition.

A stone’s throw away from VDNKh there is a very distinctive 25-meters high monument. Originally built in 1937 for the world fair in Paris, the hulking figures of men and women holding a hammer and a sickle represent the Soviet idea of united workers and farmers. It doesn’t take much time to see the monument, but visiting it gives some idea of the Soviet Union’s grandiose aspirations.

I have a thing for tall buildings. So to continue my travel itinerary for one week in Moscow I decided to climb the fourth highest TV tower in the world. This iconic 540m tower is a fixture of the skyline. You can see it virtually from everywhere in Moscow, and this is where you can get the best panoramic views (yep, even better than Empire skyscraper).

Parts of the floor are made of tempered glass, so it can be quite scary to exit the elevator. But trust me, as you start observing buildings and cars below, you won’t want to leave. There is only a limited number of tickets per day, so you may want to book online. Insider tip: the first tour is cheaper, you can save up to $10 if go there early.

Day 5 – A Tour To Moscow Manor Houses

Metro Station: Kolomenskoye, Tsaritsyno on Dark Green Line / Kuskovo on Purple Line

I love visiting the manor houses and palaces in Moscow. These opulent buildings were generally built to house Russian aristocratic families and monarchs. Houses tend to be rather grand affairs with impressive architecture. And, depending on the whims of the owners, some form of a landscaped garden.

During the early part of the 20th century though, many of Russia’s aristocratic families (including the family of the last emperor) ended up being killed or moving abroad . Their manor houses were nationalized. Some time later (after the fall of the USSR) these were open to the public. It means that today a great many of Moscow’s finest manor houses and palaces are open for touring.

20 Travel Tips I’ve Learned From Travelling The World

There are 20 manor houses scattered throughout the city and more than 25 in the area around. But not all of them easily accessible and exploring them often takes a lot of time. I’d recommend focusing on three most popular estates in Moscow that are some 30-minute metro ride away from Kremlin.

Sandwiched between the Moscow River and the Andropov Avenue, Kolomenskoye is a UNESCO site that became a public park in the 1920’s. Once a former royal estate, now it is one of the most tranquil parks in the city with gorgeous views. The Ascension Church, The White Column, and the grounds are a truly grand place to visit.

You could easily spend a full day here, exploring a traditional Russian village (that is, in fact, a market), picnicking by the river, enjoying the Eastern Orthodox church architecture, hiking the grounds as well as and wandering the park and gardens with wildflower meadows, apple orchards, and birch and maple groves. The estate museum showcases Russian nature at its finest year-round.

If my travel itinerary for one week in Moscow was a family tree, Tsaritsyno Park would probably be the crazy uncle that no-one talks about. It’s a large park in the south of the city of mind-boggling proportions, unbelievable in so many ways, and yet most travelers have never heard of it.

The palace was supposed to be a summer home for Empress Catherine the Great. But since the construction didn’t meet with her approval the palace was abandoned. Since the early 1990’s the palace, the pond, and the grounds have been undergoing renovations. The entire complex is now looking brighter and more elaborately decorated than at possibly any other time during its history. Like most parks in Moscow, you can visit Tsaritsyno free of charge, but there is a small fee if you want to visit the palace.

How To Stop Procrastinating When Trip Planning

Last, but by no means least on my Moscow itinerary is Kuskovo Park . This is definitely an off-the-beaten-path place. While it is not easily accessible, you will be rewarded with a lack of crowds. This 18th-century summer country house of the Sheremetev family was one of the first summer country estates of the Russian nobility. And when you visit you’ll quickly realize why locals love this park.

Like many other estates, Kuskovo has just been renovated. So there are lovely French formal garden, a grotto, and the Dutch house to explore. Make sure to plan your itinerary well because the estate is some way from a metro station.

Day 6 – Explore the Golden Ring

Creating the Moscow itinerary may keep you busy for days with the seemingly endless amount of things to do. Visiting the so-called Golden Ring is like stepping back in time. Golden Ring is a “theme route” devised by promotion-minded journalist and writer Yuri Bychkov.

Having started in Moscow the route will take you through a number of historical cities. It now includes Suzdal, Vladimir, Kostroma, Yaroslavl and Sergiev Posad. All these awe-inspiring towns have their own smaller kremlins and feature dramatic churches with onion-shaped domes, tranquil residential areas, and other architectural landmarks.

Two Weeks In Thailand: The Perfect 14-Day Itinerary

I only visited two out of eight cities included on the route. It is a no-brainer that Sergiev Posad is the nearest and the easiest city to see on a day trip from Moscow. That being said, you can explore its main attractions in just one day. Located some 70 km north-east of the Russian capital, this tiny and overlooked town is home to Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius, UNESCO Site.

Sergiev Posad is often described as being at the heart of Russian spiritual life. So it is uncommon to see the crowds of Russian pilgrims showing a deep reverence for their religion. If you’re traveling independently and using public transport, you can reach Sergiev Posad by bus (departs from VDNKh) or by suburban commuter train from Yaroslavskaya Railway Station (Bahnhof). It takes about one and a half hours to reach the town.

Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius is a great place to get a glimpse of filling and warming Russian lunch, specifically at the “ Gostevaya Izba ” restaurant. Try the duck breast, hearty potato and vegetables, and the awesome Napoleon cake.

Day 7 – Gorky Park, Izmailovo Kremlin, Patriarch’s Ponds

Metro Station: Park Kultury or Oktyabrskaya on Circle Line / Partizanskaya on Dark Blue Line / Pushkinskaya on Dark Green Line

Gorky Park is in the heart of Moscow. It offers many different types of outdoor activities, such as dancing, cycling, skateboarding, walking, jogging, and anything else you can do in a park. Named after Maxim Gorky, this sprawling and lovely park is where locals go on a picnic, relax and enjoy free yoga classes. It’s a popular place to bike around, and there is a Muzeon Art Park not far from here. A dynamic location with a younger vibe. There is also a pier, so you can take a cruise along the river too.

How to Save Money While Traveling in Europe

The Kremlin in Izmailovo is by no means like the one you can find near the Red Square. Originally built for decorative purposes, it now features the Vernissage flea market and a number of frequent fairs, exhibitions, and conferences. Every weekend, there’s a giant flea market in Izmailovo, where dozens of stalls sell Soviet propaganda crap, Russian nesting dolls, vinyl records, jewelry and just about any object you can imagine. Go early in the morning if you want to beat the crowds.

All the Bulgakov’s fans should pay a visit to Patriarch’s Ponds (yup, that is plural). With a lovely small city park and the only one (!) pond in the middle, the location is where the opening scene of Bulgakov’s novel Master and Margarita was set. The novel is centered around a visit by Devil to the atheistic Soviet Union is considered by many critics to be one of the best novels of the 20th century. I spent great two hours strolling the nearby streets and having lunch in the hipster cafe.

Conclusion and Recommendations

To conclude, Moscow is a safe city to visit. I have never had a problem with getting around and most locals are really friendly once they know you’re a foreigner. Moscow has undergone some serious reconstruction over the last few years. So you can expect some places to be completely different. I hope my one week Moscow itinerary was helpful! If you have less time, say 4 days or 5 days, I would cut out day 6 and day 7. You could save the Golden Ring for a separate trip entirely as there’s lots to see!

I know very little about Moscow or Russia for the\at matter. I do know I would have to see the Red Square and all of its exquisite architectural masterpieces. Also the CATHEDRAL OF CHRIST THE SAVIOUR. Thanks for shedding some light on visiting Moscow.

Thanks for swinging by! The Red Square is a great starting point, but there way too many places and things to discover aside from it!

Software provider Avast will pay $16.5 million for compromising consumers’ privacy

Software provider Avast sold products to people that were supposed to protect their privacy online. But in a recently settled lawsuit, the FTC says Avast’s business practices actually compromised consumers’ privacy and broke the law.

Since at least 2014, Avast collected a treasure trove of user information through its antivirus software and browser extensions without people’s consent. This included information about their

• religious beliefs
• health concerns
• political leanings
• financial status

But that’s not all, the FTC says Avast sold the information through its subsidiary Jumpshot — without notifying people and getting their consent (again).

The FTC’s settlement order prohibits Avast from misrepresenting how it uses the data it collects. Additionally, Avast will pay $16.5 million dollars in redress to compensate people. Keep an eye on the FTC’s Refund Programs page in the coming months for more details. And to learn more about the FTC’s settlement with Avast, read the FTC’s business blog pos t.
