When you’re affluent, the world is your oyster—or so it seems. The owner of the yacht “Rock It,” learned this lesson the hard way. Hoping for an unforgettable experience, the deep-pocketed individual decided to throw a lavish party on the pristine beach of Talmone in Palau, Sardinia.

A secretive billionaire spent hours setting up a private party on a protected and pristine Sardinia beach only to be sent abruptly packing back to his $60 million superyacht after being busted by the coast guard.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

A 55-year-old American tourist died after taking ill during an excursion on the southern side of Mount Etna, in Sicily, Italy's alpine rescue service said Friday. Rescuers said the cause of his illness was still unknown, but warned against the risk of high temperatures coupled with humidity that may prove dangerous for tourists who usually have no specific preparation for such excursions. After being alerted on Thursday afternoon, the alpine rescue team and an air ambulance reached the man in a remote area.  Attempts to revive him were unsuccessful and he was pronounced dead at the scene before his...

Many cities in the world have reputations that precede them, for better or worse. New York City, for instance, is known as the city that never sleeps, always full of life and buzzing with activity. Los Angeles is supposedly the city of stars, where spotting celebrities is practically a sport. (Conversely, it's also unfortunately crowned as the most mosquito-infested city in America.) Paris, as we all know, is the so-called city of love, which is one of the biggest things Hollywood gets wrong about it. And then there's Naples, one of Italy's hottest tourist spots, which has the unfortunate reputation of being one of the dirtiest and most dangerous cities on the planet. But is that really the case? Should you really scrap it from your bucket list? To keep the answer short: Naples is perfectly safe to visit, but your experience will depend on your perspective.

You might have heard Cinque Terre described as the lesser-known alternative to Italy’s Amalfi Coast. Both comprise a group of towns made up of pastel-hued buildings clinging to the side of the cliff-face. But where the Amalfi Coast is refined and luxurious, set up to cater to jet-setting clientele, Cinque Terre is altogether more rustic, and better suited to hikers than it is posers.

Italy is a worthy vacation spot with its architecture, history, and art. Everyone knows that, which leads to a whole lot of tourists. In fact, according to Statistica, Italy received more than 50 million visitors in 2023. That means major crowds, long lines, and a chance you might miss out on what you went there to see (as we did on a recent and very packed visit). However, there is a gorgeous and less crowded vacation spot that looks quite a bit like Italy. That place is Syros Island, the capital of the Greek Cyclades group.
