Explore West Africa Seamlessly with Evans Tours’ Multi-Country Trips from Nigeria to Côte d'Ivoire up to Guinea
While West Africa is often celebrated for its cultural diversity, history, and vibrant traditions, traveling across its borders can be a logistical maze for both locals and international visitors. From inconsistent visa policies to language barriers and fragmented infrastructure, the region has historically posed challenges for multi-country exploration. But Evans Travel & Tours Ltd, a seasoned operator based in Lagos, is addressing these challenges through a unified travel approach: structured, overland West African cross-country tours that connect Nigeria, Benin, Togo, Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire, and now Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea Conakry. Cross-Border Travel in West Africa: The Gaps and the Solution In most parts of the world, hopping between countries is taken for granted—think Eurail in Europe or the Schengen visa zone. In West Africa, however, travelers often face time-consuming visa applications, unreliable transport links, and a lack of centralized travel planning. Evans Tours identified this gap more than ten years ago and has since developed cross-border itineraries designed to move smoothly between nations. Their trips are pre-coordinated with local immigration offices, cultural guides, hotels, and vehicle operators — reducing stress and unpredictability for travelers. Their newest route links Nigeria up to Guinea Conakry via Côte d’Ivoire, Liberia, Sierra Leone offering a rare opportunity to explore up to 8 countries in one cohesive journey or a combination of these countries on the same route. This is particularly significant for cultural researchers, diaspora tourists tracing ancestral roots, and photography enthusiasts seeking lesser-seen West African landscapes. Inside the Multi-Country Tour Experience Each trip with Evans Tours typically includes: Transportation and border logistics: All ground transport is managed by the operator, including private vehicles, ferries, and customs processes. Bilingual guides: Tours are led by English- and French-speaking staff who assist with translation, cultural etiquette, and local coordination. Cultural immersion: Travelers attend traditional masquerades like Zangbeto and Gelede, visit voodoo shrines, and explore slave heritage landmarks such as Ouidah in Benin or Elmina Castle in Ghana. Local stays and regional cuisine: Accommodations are selected for comfort and proximity to local cultural hubs, with chances to taste regional dishes and interact with host communities. Rather than rushing from site to site, tours are paced to encourage meaningful connections and regional understanding—something that’s often missing in air-travel itineraries or short city breaks. Shifting the Narrative on West African Travel Evans Tours is not only creating easier travel paths but is also contributing to regional storytelling. By facilitating access to lesser-known destinations like Porto-Novo, Grand-Bassam, or Labé, the company hopes to change the perception of West Africa as a "difficult" travel region. Instead, it becomes an accessible mosaic of peoples, beliefs, music, nature, and living history. The tours are open to group travelers, solo backpackers, NGOs, educational delegations, and the West African diaspora. About Evans Travel & Tours Ltd Based in Ikorodu, Lagos, Evans Travel & Tours Ltd has been operational for over a decade. The company has guided travelers from around the world across West Africa, focusing on safety, access, and cross-cultural exchange. Its team includes local experts, tour planners, logistics specialists, and multilingual guides who work collectively to bridge regional divides and promote responsible travel.

MyGreekCharter Launches Detailed Itinerary Guides to Help Guests Plan the Ultimate Greece Yacht Charter Experience
For travelers dreaming of a Greece yacht charter , the difference between a frustrating voyage and the adventure of a lifetime often comes down to planning. Recognizing this, MyGreekCharter, part of DMA Yachting, has launched a comprehensive Greece yacht charter itineraries platform to help guests choose the right destination and yacht, tailored to their style, occasion, and expectations. From the wind-swept Cyclades to the calm emerald waters of the Ionian, Greece offers a range of charter experiences. Each region has its own character and its own considerations when it comes to yacht choice, weather, and pacing. “For many of our guests, this is a trip they’ve saved for, planned for years, or are taking to mark a milestone,” says Sarah Klische, yacht charter broker with DMA Yachting. “It has the chance of being an absolute failure or the adventure of a lifetime. We believe good planning makes all the difference.” The new itinerary guides are designed to do just that. Each includes essential information: recommended yacht types, cruising distances, weather dependency, and the overall experience style of the route. Whether guests are looking for a leisurely catamaran charter in Greece or a bold, fast-paced passage through open water, the platform points them in the right direction. “Some routes are ideal for relaxed catamaran charters, others, like those covering hundreds of nautical miles, call for fast motor yacht charter in Greece and a more flexible schedule,” says Sarah Klische. MyGreekCharter’s platform goes one step further by suggesting the best yachts for each route, drawing on the company's deep experience in Greek charters. The team, composed largely of former charter captains, sailors, and crew, brings hands-on insight into what makes a charter seamless. “Our approach has always been to guide, not sell,” says Sarah Klische. “We’re not just putting boats in front of people. We’re helping them figure out what kind of trip they really want—and what will make it successful.” Known for its transparent, informative online presence, MyGreekCharter is trusted by guests who value clarity and service over salesmanship. The launch of the itinerary planning tool reinforces the brand’s mission: to empower charterers with expert advice before they ever step on board, especially those planning a luxury yacht charter in Greece for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. About DMA Yachting & MyGreekCharter DMA Yachting is a global yacht charter brokerage with a client-focused approach to crewed luxury yacht charters. The company’s brokers, including one of the founders, Daniel Asmus, bring years of hands-on experience as captains and crew members, giving them unique insight into what makes a charter truly exceptional.

Escape to Italy: Ruralis Connects Americans to Rural Villages
A growing wave of Americans is discovering irresistible opportunities in Italy’s picturesque countryside, driven by affordability, lifestyle allure, and innovative revitalization programs. From symbolic €1 houses to entire villas for the price of an urban condo, rural Italy is emerging as a compelling frontier for overseas real estate investments, a trend accelerated by the post-pandemic desire for open spaces, nature, and authentic experiences. " Italy’s real estate market offers American investors an intriguing blend of competitive pricing and significant potential for mid-term appreciation ," says Umberto Lobina, a real estate expert at McKinsey NYC. According to Lobina, the rise in experiential tourism coupled with attractive tax incentives has positioned Italy as " a strategic platform for diversifying global real estate portfolios. " Central to this interest is the popular €1 house phenomenon, where towns like Zungoli in Italy's Campania region offer abandoned homes at a nominal price. Paolo Caruso, Mayor of Zungoli, highlights that the town’s latest initiative, its fourth to date, includes 11 available properties, " many already in livable condition or needing only basic renovations. " Caruso emphasizes Zungoli’s rich cultural heritage and its recognized status as one of Italy’s most beautiful villages, noting: " We’re actively working to revitalize the village and foster local economic development, warmly welcoming those who wish to settle here. " Beyond the famed €1 initiative, other Italian towns are attracting attention for similarly enticing opportunities. In Gaiba, a peaceful town near Venice, Mayor Nicola Zanca describes a sharp decline in real estate prices over recent decades. " Properties that once cost €70,000 for just the land, now buy an entire detached home with land ," he explains, adding that " families from big cities are relocating here with budgets ranging from €50,000 to €200,000. And with €200,000 you can purchase a villa ". Gaiba is also investing heavily in local infrastructure, making it attractive for remote workers thanks to high-speed fiber-optic internet, modern facilities, and vibrant community activities like a tennis club, a nautical club and an equestrian center, but also a large number of different events. Furthermore, the proximity of highways allows people to live in a peaceful and quiet place without giving up the possibility of carrying out different activities or frequenting larger urban centres. The allure of Italy's lifestyle plays a substantial role, exemplified by Tom Leonard, an American expat who moved from California to Florence in 2024 through Italy’s Investor Visa program. Leonard’s life took a transformative turn when personal circumstances changed in California, presenting him the chance to pursue a lifelong dream. After an inspiring month-long stay in Florence, Leonard chose the Investor Visa route by investing in a local startup, providing both residency and the opportunity to work. " Italy holds a special, almost magical place in the hearts of many Americans ," Leonard says. He now enjoys life in the hills overlooking Florence, immersing himself in Italian culture, food, art, and language, and is eager to encourage others to consider Italy for their own next chapters. Navigating the practicalities of buying and managing properties in rural Italy, however, remains a challenge for many prospective buyers. Nicolas Verderosa, CEO of Ruralis , underscores the enormous untapped potential in these charming Italian towns. Verderosa recounts his own challenges understanding the processes behind these affordable housing schemes. " Travelers are booking stays across Italy’s rural villages, but the real estate market remains primarily local and underdeveloped, " Verderosa notes. Recognizing this gap, Ruralis streamlines property management, enabling American investors to seamlessly enter the booming short-term rental market. " Many Americans want to invest in Italy, but they just don’t know how. Here at Ruralis, we’re happy to connect with anyone looking to invest in Italy and support them with a simple, streamlined process. " he emphasizes. Italy stands out as an ideal location for foreign real estate investment, combining affordability, cultural richness, vibrant communities, and significant appreciation potential. As global trends push individuals to reconsider urban living in favor of more spacious, authentic, and nature-oriented lifestyles, Italy’s rural towns and villages offer not just investment opportunities, but also fulfilling new beginnings for those looking to embrace a uniquely enriching way of life abroad.
