  • Join BZ Travel in Episode 63 of our Ultimate World Cruise as we dock in the enchanting island of Penang, Malaysia. Known for its rich historical heritage and vibrant cultural tapestry, Penang offers a delightful mix of tradition and modernity that captivates every traveler.
    Our journey in Penang begins with a warm welcome at a beautifully maintained terminal, setting the stage for a day of exploration. Opting for a local experience, we hire a private driver right at the port, allowing us to dive deeper into the island's attractions without the constraints of scheduled tours.
    Our first destination is the famed Clan Jetties, where historic waterfront settlements on stilts tell the story of Penang's multicultural roots. As we meander through the jetties, we encounter a lively blend of tourist-friendly shops and authentic residential areas, providing a glimpse into the daily lives of the locals.
    The highlight of our visit is exploring Georgetown, Penang’s capital city. Here, the streets are lined with colonial architecture, street art, and bustling markets that showcase the island's dynamic cultural scene. From sampling local cuisine to interacting with friendly residents, every moment in Georgetown adds to our rich tapestry of travel experiences.
    Despite the heat, our comfortable van and knowledgeable driver make it easy to navigate the island, visiting other notable sites like the picturesque fishing villages and deserted beaches. The convenience of private transportation proves invaluable, allowing us to cover more ground and fully appreciate the diverse offerings of Penang.

    Another great video. I love Zarkos and your attitude about traveling. You are not checking off boxes on a trip. You are really experiencing the essence of each place you visit!

    The best advice ever- just take a risk and get out.
    My grandma always used to say- the best education is travel and its so true.
    Take a risk. Explore.
    Look at all the amazing things you have seen and shared with us by going off the beaten track and seeing places your way.
    I love it.
    On a complete different side note and please dont answer if it's something you dont want too but could you share with us how you and Zarko met?

    Thankyou for sharing. I’ll be there in August travelling alone from Perth Western Australia. I backpacked there in 1978 and 1985 but only briefly. In October of last year I was in Georgetown for a few hours only from a cruise ship. Can’t wait to return!! I’ll have three days in Georgetown and two in Batu Ferringhi…I want to return to the places I saw back then. I’m staying in a small hotel overlooking the clan jetties, and then on batu ferringhi beach. It’s only 14 weeks away and your video gave me a few more ideas to add to my ever growing list! I’ll probably need to return next year!! 😍😍 Enjoy the rest of your travels…Raelene

    Just beautiful. You are correct some of the best things that happen on a trip or totally unplanned. That boat ride in beach were I think the best part of the trip. I noticed your necklace. It’s quite pretty. Is it a souvenir of your trip stay safe and thanks for taking me along.

Thanks for coming along for the ride, and here's to many more beautiful surprises! Stay safe and keep exploring with us. ✨
