PetrA Island

Located just 50 miles north of New York City (15 minutes by helicopter) and featuring two houses designed by famed American architect Frank Lloyd Wright, Petra Island truly must be seen to be believed.

BOOK A TOUR

 A heart-shaped private island 50 miles north of New York City is back on the market. Called Petra Island (also called Petre Island), the property boasts two homes designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.

In 1949, the engineer Ahmed Chahroudi purchased the island and commissioned Wright to design a residence. Wright originally designed a sprawling 5,000-square-foot structure for the island, but when the owner realized he couldn’t afford the project, Wright was forced to build a smaller 1,200-square-foot cottage instead. 

Many years later, Petre’s new owner, John Massaro, decided to bring Wright’s original plans to life based on a handful of drawings, floorplans, and other documents that came with the property. He enlisted an architect and Wright scholar to complete the massive home around 2007.

The home has been off-and-on the market for years, and despite the controversy, Wright’s influence is clear. Broad, horizontal planes mark the design, and the home features geometric woodwork, built-in furniture, and an integration with its natural site.

The cantilevered building sits on Lake Mahopac, and is believed to be the largest home Wright ever designed—almost doubling the 15-foot cantilevers of Fallingwater. Other perks include a helipad, dock, and beach, all accessible by helicopter or a five-minute boat ride from the mainland.

Petra’s 5 favourite trips in spring

Why does spring always give us the travel bug? Is it the pleasant temperatures? The budding trees and the scent of blossoms? Or maybe you’re a clever traveler with a flexible schedule who likes to avoid the crowds and high prices? Whatever takes you traveling in the blissful spring months, now is exactly the right time to think about your next spring trip! So forget the dreary weather outside for a moment and let yourself be inspired!

Petra’s spring travel trips

We asked our travel expert Petra about her best tips for next spring:

“Have you ever tried to see too much in one trip? It becomes a whirlwind tour and afterwards, you can barely remember the trip! My recommendation: chose a region to explore in detail, travel slowly and experience a place in depth, instead of rushing around trying to see too much.

The Netherlands and northwest Germany have so much to enjoy in a fairly small area. These five tips from our offerings are my favorites for spring.”

1. Tulip fields and sailing adventures – two-in-one!

Our Sail & Bike Tulip Tour is a truly unique spring experience. Traveling on a real sailing ship is something very special: an experience unlike anything else.

And at the same time, we bicycle through the fabulous flower fields, beautiful dunes and historic seaports of North Holland. Can you imagine a more inspiring spring adventure?

2. The best way to see tulips in the Netherlands

On this 5-day tulip tour, you’ll not only visit Keukenhof, the famous tulip show garden, but you’ll visit the largest flower auction house in the world! You’ll spend your days bicycling by the most brilliantly colorful tulip fields, and get a look at the Netherlands that’s authentic and wonderfully picturesque.

This tour also includes the historic and beautiful city of Haarlem, the watery world of Waterland and, of course, the exciting city of Amsterdam!

3. The hidden side of the Netherlands

The Netherlands is so much more than just Amsterdam! Some of the country’s best-kept secrets are the beautiful cities and cycling routes around the river IJssel and the Hoge Veluwe National Park – they can send Dutch people into raptures!

Hanseatic cities such as Arnhem, Deventer and Kampen are real beauties: rich with history, they certainly don’t need to hide behind the nation’s capital. On the fully-guided Hansa Highlights Tour , you’ll see a side of the Netherlands that you’ve never experienced before.

4. North Holland from Amsterdam to Texel

From Amsterdam’s colorful canals to the endless beaches of Texel Island, the variety of landscapes in North Holland will surprise and amaze you. Flower fields, dunes, old seafaring villages and incredible feats of water control engineering – this region will surprise you with its diversity. As spring arrives and the fields burst into color, our Northern Tour of Holland offers a perfect mix of city and countryside.

5. Green Heart of Holland

The best thing about this trip? The combination of fascinating cities and idyllic natural landscapes. Here in Holland everything is so close!

And don’t be surprised if you feel like you’ve stepped into a beautiful old painting. After all, this is the land of Dutch masters like Rembrandt and Vermeer. On the Green Heart of Holland tour ,we’ll take you to see Amsterdam, Leiden’s historic center, “cheese capital” Gouda, and the windmills of Kinderdijk. You’ll see what the world’s greatest painters saw!

Happy travel planning

So if grey clouds are getting you down, spring into some travel planning and plan a trip to look forward to!

Cruising the Moskva River: A short guide to boat trips in Russia’s capital

There’s hardly a better way to absorb Moscow’s atmosphere than on a ship sailing up and down the Moskva River. While complicated ticketing, loud music and chilling winds might dampen the anticipated fun, this checklist will help you to enjoy the scenic views and not fall into common tourist traps.

How to find the right boat?

There are plenty of boats and selecting the right one might be challenging. The size of the boat should be your main criteria.

Plenty of small boats cruise the Moskva River, and the most vivid one is this yellow Lay’s-branded boat. Everyone who has ever visited Moscow probably has seen it.

This option might leave a passenger disembarking partially deaf as the merciless Russian pop music blasts onboard. A free spirit, however, will find partying on such a vessel to be an unforgettable and authentic experience that’s almost a metaphor for life in modern Russia: too loud, and sometimes too welcoming. Tickets start at $13 (800 rubles) per person.

Bigger boats offer smoother sailing and tend to attract foreign visitors because of their distinct Soviet aura. Indeed, many of the older vessels must have seen better days. They are still afloat, however, and getting aboard is a unique ‘cultural’ experience. Sometimes the crew might offer lunch or dinner to passengers, but this option must be purchased with the ticket. Here is one such  option  offering dinner for $24 (1,490 rubles).

If you want to travel in style, consider Flotilla Radisson. These large, modern vessels are quite posh, with a cozy restaurant and an attentive crew at your service. Even though the selection of wines and food is modest, these vessels are still much better than other boats.

Surprisingly, the luxurious boats are priced rather modestly, and a single ticket goes for $17-$32 (1,100-2,000 rubles); also expect a reasonable restaurant bill on top.

How to buy tickets?

Women holding photos of ships promise huge discounts to “the young and beautiful,” and give personal invitations for river tours. They sound and look nice, but there’s a small catch: their ticket prices are usually more than those purchased online.

“We bought tickets from street hawkers for 900 rubles each, only to later discover that the other passengers bought their tickets twice as cheap!”  wrote  (in Russian) a disappointed Rostislav on a travel company website.

Nevertheless, buying from street hawkers has one considerable advantage: they personally escort you to the vessel so that you don’t waste time looking for the boat on your own.

Prices start at $13 (800 rubles) for one ride, and for an additional $6.5 (400 rubles) you can purchase an unlimited number of tours on the same boat on any given day.

Flotilla Radisson has official ticket offices at Gorky Park and Hotel Ukraine, but they’re often sold out.

Buying online is an option that might save some cash. Websites such as  this   offer considerable discounts for tickets sold online. On a busy Friday night an online purchase might be the only chance to get a ticket on a Flotilla Radisson boat.

This  website  (in Russian) offers multiple options for short river cruises in and around the city center, including offbeat options such as ‘disco cruises’ and ‘children cruises.’ This other  website  sells tickets online, but doesn’t have an English version. The interface is intuitive, however.

Buying tickets online has its bad points, however. The most common is confusing which pier you should go to and missing your river tour.

“I once bought tickets online to save with the discount that the website offered,” said Igor Shvarkin from Moscow. “The pier was initially marked as ‘Park Kultury,’ but when I arrived it wasn’t easy to find my boat because there were too many there. My guests had to walk a considerable distance before I finally found the vessel that accepted my tickets purchased online,” said the man.

There are two main boarding piers in the city center:  Hotel Ukraine  and  Park Kultury . Always take note of your particular berth when buying tickets online.

Where to sit onboard?

Even on a warm day, the headwind might be chilly for passengers on deck. Make sure you have warm clothes, or that the crew has blankets ready upon request.

The glass-encased hold makes the tour much more comfortable, but not at the expense of having an enjoyable experience.

Getting off the boat requires preparation as well. Ideally, you should be able to disembark on any pier along the way. In reality, passengers never know where the boat’s captain will make the next stop. Street hawkers often tell passengers in advance where they’ll be able to disembark. If you buy tickets online then you’ll have to research it yourself.

There’s a chance that the captain won’t make any stops at all and will take you back to where the tour began, which is the case with Flotilla Radisson. The safest option is to automatically expect that you’ll return to the pier where you started.
