What this site is
Mediterranean Vibes is an independent travel resource covering Spain, Italy, Greece, Croatia, Portugal, Turkey, and Malta. It publishes practical guides to coasts, islands, cities, food, transport, and budgets, written for a first trip to the region rather than for experts. It is not a tour operator, a booking platform, or a government body.
Who writes it
Guides are written and maintained by the Mediterranean Vibes Editorial, the small editorial team behind the site. We publish under a team byline rather than a single personal name, and every guide is reviewed and updated as the underlying facts change.
How guides are researched
Guides are built from current official sources. Where a number can be checked, it is checked against the source that publishes it: ferry schedules and fares against the operator or a current comparison page, entry prices and opening hours against the site, museum, or transport authority that sets them, and rules such as visa and tax requirements against the government or authority that issues them. Figures are dated, and where a number moves with inflation, exchange rates, or the season, the guide says so and tells you to confirm it on arrival.
We do not invent statistics, testimonials, or rankings, and we do not claim first-hand visits we did not make. Where a guide leans on reporting or a list from another publication, that source is linked. Where it leans on an official document, that document is linked. The promise is simple: a specific number is checkable, and the source is one click away.
How AI is used
AI tools are part of the writing process. They help draft sections, restructure a guide, tighten the editing, and check a draft against the sources it cites. They are a writing aid, not a source of facts, and they do not decide what a guide recommends.
Every factual claim is checked against the official document, operator page, or authority linked in the text before publication, and the editorial team remains responsible for what goes live. We do not use AI to invent first-hand experience, quotes, testimonials, or rankings. The photographs on the site are licensed images from photographers and public image libraries, not AI-generated pictures. If something is wrong, the correction process is the same as for any other mistake: email us and we will fix it and update the date on the guide.
How the site is funded
The site is free to read and is funded through affiliate links. When you book a flight, ferry, hotel, or experience through a link on this site, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. That is what keeps the site running. Affiliate relationships never change what a guide recommends, and the disclosure appears on every guide that contains such links.
Corrections and contact
Prices, schedules, and rules change. If you spot something that is out of date or wrong, email hello@mediterraneanvibes.eu with the page and the correction, and we will fix it and update the date on the guide.
Photography
Photographs are used under free licenses that permit commercial use, and every image that requires attribution is credited with the photographer and license on the image credits page and beside the image where it appears.
