WHERE IS IT?
Puglia is the stiletto at the heel of Italy. It is a long, thin region that jabs out into the Mediterranean at the far south-east of mainland Italy, and shares land borders with Basilicata and Molise.

The Kosk Pansiyon, a traditional guesthouse on the east coast of Cyprus, is the second-worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Dark and depressing, four creaky beds to a room, and an open-window “air-conditioning†system that wouldn’t have been so bad if there had been a breeze — or, for that matter, a [...]

One day last February, near Cairo International Airport, I saw hundreds of people gathered around a tree beside an army watchtower. The crowd spilled into the road, stopping traffic, and drivers got out of vehicles to ask one another what was happening. “Has there been an accident?” I called out from my car to a [...]
