Bran, Transylvania in Romania

The name of the place alone could spell chills to any traveler. Although the name alone is almost equal to something scary, the main structure where every scary story comes from the Bran Castle. According to popular tales, the castle is considered the home of Dracula. Walking tours are available on a daily basis. Although it only features a single path (you can’t freely roam the castle), you can get a good idea of the structure’s design.

Salem, Massachusetts

Salem is well known for the “Salem Witch Trials” and the stories that revolve around infamous trial still lives to this day. There are no visible structures that reminisce of the witch trials but there are places that you can visit if you want to learn more. The Salem Visitor Center is a great place to begin your tour since it will provide helpful information on where to visit and what to expect. Other popular destinations are Salem Witch Museum and Witch Dungeon Museum.

Edinburgh, Scotland

Edinburgh is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Scotland because of their scary tours. Although you can easily enjoy a walking tour during the day, the really eerie and scary tour happens at night and the guides are well trained to tell the story in the most interesting fashion.

The Seychelles have their own great cuisine which is a mix of rich and exotic French and Italian flavours. Food is generally prepared with hot condiments and spices and has a thicker consistency compared to western food. The richness of their dishes tend to come from the generous amounts of coconut milk that’s added to the dishes. For the most part Seychelles locals prepare food out of sea food such as Shell fish and Crabs although chicken beef and lamb are used in some of their meals.

As already indicated, Istanbul is known for its historical structures. The district of Sultanahmet is the ideal destination in Istanbul for this type of attraction. There are a good number of restored structures in Sultanahmet which gives a glimpse of the country’s historic past as well as their expertise in architecture.

Nightlife in Ortakoy

At first glance, Ortakoy is a relatively small district in Istanbul with very little activities available during the day. But the place is transformed into the cities party central at night. Look for lively rooftop bars and local clubs for a great way to spend an evening of your stay.

Visiting the Montmartre District
But if there is one district in Paris that you must consider, it is the Montmartre district. The area is the perfect destination for individuals who are interested in art as they can easily retrace the footsteps of some of the most popular artists in the world. Monet, Picasso and other renowned artists have stayed in this district. Aside from its role in artistry, the district is also home to notable churches such as Sacre-Coeur Basilica and Notre Dame.

The ideal and cheapest method for enjoying the city is through the Metro.

The City Metro goes through beautiful city parks of Paris and fashion boulevards.

Disney Paris

Among the islands, Gran Canaria and Tenerife are particularly lively places to visit and offer much choice for day as well as night entertainment. Fuerteventura, on the other hand, has some amazing coastlines and is the perfect location for relaxed beach holidays. La Palma is the island boosting a marvellous natural beauty whereas Lanzarote has a much arid natural environment but a spectacular volcanic landscape.

Other than for its natural environment, we would also want to recommend the Canary Islands for the cultural activity and events that are regularly held. A recent feature of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, for example, is the TEA, an impressive structure which was designed by renowned architects Jacques Herzog, Pierre de Meuron and Virgilio Gutierrez as a cultural centre and exhibition place. Moreover, the Canary Islands Music Festival adds further appeal for tourists who love music to visit Tenerife and Gran Canaria in January and February when they will find the best classical music concerts. Finally, for those who enjoy a more loud and colourful festival, the Tenerife Carnival in February is definitely not to be missed.

The main city of the island is Stone Town, which has recently become a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The town is truly special where its visible influences perfectly embody the history of Zanzibar as a commercial crossroad during the spice trade period. The architecture, indeed, suggests the co-presence of Middle Eastern, African and Indian traditions. Another piece of history worth visiting is the Slave Market, where African rulers sold slaves to Arab traders to eventually work for white European people.

However, the most renowned parts of Zanzibar are certainly its magnificent beaches and crystal water of the sea. Famous spots in the island where to enjoy the sea and the beach are in particular Nugwi resort, in the north area of the island, and Kendwa, a small fishermen village which attracts many scuba divers and deep sea fishing experts.

The resort of Kardamena is very popular with British tourists. Spiritual tourists can visit the Orthodox cathedral in Zia or a mosque catering to the muslim population of Kos.

When you’re on Kos island, make sure you check out the Knights’ Castle. It’s a 15th century castle of the knights of St. John. If you travel with your children, they would love exploring and pretending to be knights while visiting this castle.

The Tourism Queensland actually offered an employment opportunity to one lucky person who would prove eligible enough for the best job in the world with a salary package of AUD$ 150,000 for a 6-month contract with them.

The Best Job in the World finally has its man. The Tourism Queensland had decided that from all the finalists it was Brit Ben Southall who fitted the brief the best and therefore he is the winner.

Ben had beaten other 15 finalists who were picked from over 34,000 applicants around the world.

As the ad for the job said, he will be the caretaker for the Great Barrier Reef and he will be living in a cottage on the Hamilton Island and he will be exploring all the 1,500 different reefs and islands on the region and blog about his experiences regularly. Also, he would be paid 150,000 Australian dollars for his 6-month work.

It is indeed the best job in the world. Not only does he get an amazing paycheck but it’s a very enjoyable and exciting job that anyone would really dream of. He and the other 15 finalists had to stay on the island and answer a series of interviews. They were also asked to snorkel and swim to see if they are really eligible for the best job spot. They also had to demonstrate their abilities to blog about their experiences.

The Best Job in the World ad is really a publicity concept by the Tourism Queensland so they could showcase the Great Barrier Reef as much as possible. So far it’s a great success and Ben hopes that he could do his job well.

The uniqueness of Milos Island in terms of its beaches is on their size. You’ll see beaches that stretch for miles but they are usually smaller compared to other beaches in other islands. Some islands, especially the popular Sarakiniko Beach features beautiful rocks instead of sands.

The Papafragas and Firopotamos Beaches also have the same feature. What’s a little bit surprising in these beaches is that services in many beaches are limited. Aside from a stand or two that serves beverages, you would have to provide food and shelter. That is why it is highly recommended to visit the beaches early in the morning or late in the afternoon.

The ancient artifacts in Milos Island are not just based on the sculptures and other small things collected on the side. There are ancient Greek structures such as the theater that should not be missed. There is also a museum in the heart of the island if you want to have detailed information about the artifacts.

The best part of Milos Island is that you’ll never feel alone. More than five languages are spoken here so you’ll always have someone to talk to in your native language.
