YouTube video by The Floating Nomads The Bluest Sea on Earth: A Perfect Day on Malta’s Coast

We’ve just put together what we think is the perfect day out on Malta’s coast, and we did the whole thing by bus.

It’s got a bit of everything: 5,000 year old history, some slightly terrifying cliffs, and water so blue it doesn't look real:

Happy Sunday 👋

Having to wear the hat that was purchased in Istanbul when it was snowing 🙃

YouTube video by The Floating Nomads Valletta, Malta: Why We Love the City Built for War

New episode is live.

Come with us to Valletta, Malta, Europe’s smallest capital. It’s a beautiful place, but it was built for war, a fortress city from the start. Find out why we love it so much, and why it feels almost miraculous. youtu.be/bF5ul7hyiC0

A little behind the scenes from the wonderful Pera Palace.

Adam composed a special piece inspired by Agatha Christie and her little Belgian detective... especially for that sequence. It's called “The Woman in Room 411”.

Listen out for it in the video.

Ha! Enjoy!

Istanbul. The only city where it costs you £1 to cross to a different continent by boat.

We were wrong about Istanbul, in the best way.

New short clip from our first day in the city, and the full film is on YouTube here:

Watch us become enchanted by this city before your eyes…

It's safe to say that Istanbul wasn’t what we imagined, in the best possible way.

Find out why in the new video, out later today...

When we worked it out, the costs even surprised us!

YouTube video by The Floating Nomads How Much It Costs to Winter in Antalya, Turkey (vs Spain & the UK)

Today’s new episode is all about the real cost of wintering in on the Turkish Riviera (in Antalya).

We’ve broken down what we actually spend on rent, food & drink, groceries and getting around the city - and how it compares to Spain and to staying in the UK.

Here are a few shots from our stay at Olympos Mountain Lodge - a tiny place in the Taurus Mountains that ended up being one of our favourite weekends ever.

YouTube video by The Floating Nomads We Found a Secret Lodge in the Taurus Mountains - Olympos Mountain Lodge, Turkey

We’ve just shared one of our favourite videos we’ve ever made.

A few days at a secret mountain lodge - big skies, log fires and perfect peace and quiet. The Olympos Mountain Lodge really does feel like it is tucked away from the world.

Settle in with a drink and watch here: youtu.be/r7vyJbN5Ing

There is!

There’s an M&S!

SO much more.

This could be Budapest!

A sneak preview of where we ended up after the Turkish riviera…

Istanbul! And it is NOTHING like we expected.

YouTube video by The Floating Nomads Antalya Old Town & Roman Harbour - Winter Sun on the Turkish Riviera

Our first days in Antalya, exploring the old town streets, Roman harbour and that huge sweep of beach beneath the cliffs. Winter sun, trams, boats and a very different pace to narrowboat life.

YouTube video by The Floating Nomads Searching for Santa in Turkey… We Found St Nicholas’ Hometown

We wanted to trace the origins of Santa… and that curiosity took us all the way to Turkey 🇹🇷🎅

What we didn’t expect was the moment that genuinely gave us goosebumps - a quiet connection that felt oddly personal and a bit full-circle.

We wish it was!

Very likely then!

Possibly! Were you on the Shroppie?

We had a balmy 21c today!

Don’t know what you’re taking about 😉
