Trieste: A Dreamy Blend of Sea Breezes and Carb Feasts
๐ Italy has always been a treasure trove of stunning destinations, and this year, my wanderlust led me to the hidden gem of Trieste, nestled in the northeast corner of the country. Just a breezy hour's drive from Slovenia, it was a spontaneous addition to my travel itinerary that turned out to be a delightful surprise! ๐ Under the vast, azure sky, the sea shimmered in shades of blue that seemed almost unreal. I was lucky enough to witness yet another breathtaking sunset at the enchanting seaside castle, Castello di Miramare. ๐ถ My adventure almost took an unexpected turn when I nearly got locked inside the castle park! I lost track of time, mesmerized by the beauty around me, and the park was buzzing with life until after 7 pm, thanks to an open-air concert. ๐ Now, let's talk about carbs โ because Italy and pizza are practically synonymous! I indulged in not one, but two pizza feasts in a single day. For lunch, I savored the Sicilian style at Pizzeria Calo'. While their pizza was delightful, it was the pane cunzatu sandwich that stole my heart. This 'poor man's bread' with its crispy crust and olive oil was a simple yet heavenly treat. The Sicilian pesto pasta, however, was just okay. ๐ Dinner was all about the iconic Neapolitan pizza at Bianco Neapolitan Pizzeria. I opted for a classic three-topping pizza, a symphony of tomatoes and cheeses that danced on my taste buds. It was every bit as delicious as I had hoped. โจ Trieste, with its perfect blend of sea breezes and carb feasts, is a must-visit for any traveler seeking a unique Italian experience. #Italy #TravelDiaries #HiddenGems #TriesteAdventures #PizzaLovers #SunsetMagic
