Explore of the first part of the Cammino Basiliano and continue to dive in deep in Japanese culture with Niigata and Sado
Dear kopral,
The old port city of Niigata in Japan is a must-visit for its handsome waterfront buildings and narrow alleys, the fascinating Northern Culture Museum and the historic Imayotsukasa Sake Brewery. It's a trip perfectly combined with a visit to Sado Island – just a short ferry ride away – alive with traditional crafts and performing arts, from delicate Noh theatre masks to demon drumming. Get stuck in by discovering how to spend 7 days in Niigata and Sado.
Also this week, we take a look at the first half of southern Italy's newest hiking trail, the Cammino BasilianoⓇ. Highlights of the two initial sections include fortress villages set atop rocky spurs, jaw-dropping monasteries and beautiful Byzantine buildings. Here's our guide to travelling the Cammino BasilianoⓇ: the Pollino and Sila massifs.
Have fun,
Helen

Niigata is a port city on the main Japanese island of Honshu. With a rich history, fine museums and a raft of fantastic cultural experiences on offer, you'll never be stuck for things to do in Niigata. This spellbinding itinerary takes you from Niigata City to Sado Island, cast adrift in the Sea of Japan. Sado, like Niigata, is known for its rice fields, but also for its superlative local arts and crafts, traditional performing arts and oyster farms. Here's how to spend 7 days in Niigata and Sado.
Calabria's Cammino BasilianoⓇ follows the southern tail of Italy's Apennine mountains. It winds its way through four distinct stages, defined by the Pollino massif, the Sila plateau, the Serre Calabresi and the Aspromonte massif. Here, we explore the first two sections of the route, centring on the Pollino and Sila ranges. With striking mountain peaks and fortress towns, ancient monasteries and medieval hamlets, there are endless gems – both natural and manmade – to break up the journey.
