Cape Verde Cape Verde Islands is an ideal place for an exotic vacation. They are located off the west coast of Africa and combine African, Pyrenean and Brazilian cultural assets. However, Cape Verde has a completely heavenly atmosphere. This also applies to the weather and the surrounding landscapes. The islands are located 570 kilometers from the nearest mainland Africa, Dakar. They are of volcanic origin, and therefore cozy beaches and bays contrast with toothy peaks and gorges. Among these opposites there are many luxurious hotels and tropical bungalows connected by winding cobblestone alleys surrounded by Dragon Trees.
Botum Sakor National Park, Cambodia
In the southwestern corner of Cambodia is the huge Botum Sakor National Park. The natural wonders of this country are concentrated here: from evergreen tropical forests to coastal plains and cliffs. About 180 hectares of the park is occupied by the so-called South-Western corridor of elephants. It is here that the largest population of Asian elephants lives, as well as a number of rare birds and animals. In the vicinity of the park there are a number of hotels and bungalows built in a vintage style to relax in the wild. They are located near rivers, picturesque rocky waterfalls and on the coast of the Gulf of Thailand. Here you can not only observe nature from the settled territory and swim in the bay, but also go on a safari deep into the reserve.
Valletta, Malta
The capital of Malta – Valletta – was called the cultural center of Europe for 2018. The country is located in the Mediterranean Sea, between Italy and Tunisia. The cultures of these countries are intertwined on the island and in just 20 minutes you can “move” from Ancient Greece to the Middle East. A similar contrast is noticeable in architecture, as well as in cooking, thanks to the dishes that are served here. So far, Valletta is not included in the popular tourist and cruise routes, as opposed to Venice and Rome. And therefore, here you can relax without an excessive crowd and on island beaches, and explore local attractions. The pearl of the city is the Cathedral of St. John – a knight who was a native of Malta. A nice bonus to the sparsely populated resorts of the island will also be photos on Instagram , which few can boast of. Gozo is an island of the Maltese archipelago, which is also worthy of attention. Earlier here, over the bay, the Blue Eye rock arch was located, which became known thanks to the series Game of Thrones , but it collapsed in 2017. Nevertheless, it will be interesting to gozo on the steep, rocky shores that form cozy bays with deserted beaches and azure-green water.
Serbia
The countries of the former Yugoslavia are becoming more and more popular holiday destinations in Europe. This, in particular, applies to Croatia and Montenegro, which attract vacationers with the luxurious coasts of the Adriatic Sea. But Serbia, among the former union republics, remains the least visited. One of the reasons is that the country is not washed by any sea. However, Serbia has a number of other advantages. So, you should go to the country to learn about the history of the region, to see amazing architectural monuments and natural wonders, and also try different varieties of local cheeses. At the same time, rest in Serbia will be much cheaper in comparison with neighboring states.
In winter, you should go to Serbia for the sake of the Kopaonik and Zlatibor National Parks. Here you can ski or board and explore the karst cliffs covered with needles. In addition, another park – “Tara” – would be a good option for a summer trip. It attracts travelers with untouched mountain landscapes, rivers, animals and the huge artificial lake Zaovine. It is worth adding that a lot of ancient architecture, among the Soviet buildings, has been preserved in the capital of Serbia, Belgrade. In addition, a trip here is also an opportunity to see the Danube. And from Belgrade, you can leave a direct route to the coastal city of Bar in Montenegro.
Nagano, Japan
Nagano is a health and ski resort in Japan. It is popularized due to its hot springs onsen, around which the motels and infrastructure of the city arose. In addition, the 1998 Winter Olympics were held here. In the vicinity of Nagano there are a number of mountain slopes for skiing and boarding, as well as hotels with different levels of service. Some of them were built last year and are preparing in every way for the 2020 Summer Olympics, which will be held in Tokyo.
