Le Mont-Saint-Michel is an island commune in Normandy, France. It is located about one kilometre off the country's northwestern coast, at the mouth of the Couesnon River near Avranches. </div>
<a name='more'></a>The island is 100 hectares in size and has a population of 44 at 2009. One of France's most recognizable landmarks, Mont Saint-Michel and its bay are part of the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites and more than 3 million people visit it each year. The island is best known as the site of the spectacular and well-preserved Norman Benedictine Abbey of St Michel at the peak of the rocky island, surrounded by the winding streets and convoluted architecture of the medieval town.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>How to get there:</b></u></span><br />
<b>By car:</b> Driving is probably the cheapest and easiest way of visiting Mont Saint Michel. The Mont Saint Michel is a short drive from the A84 Caen-Rennes motorway. From Paris the total driving time is about 4 hours.<br />
<b>By public transport:</b> There are no direct train services between Paris and Mont St Michel, but it is possible to travel to Pontorson by train and then complete the last leg of the journey by bus. The best option is the TGV from Gare Montparnasse to Rennes, where a bus run by "Keolis Emeraude" provides a 90 minute transfer to the island. Note that the bus stops at the entrance to the Mont St Michel itself. <br />
The Pontorson train station is no more than 15 minutes from Mont St. Michel. Buses are available several times a day. There are also two buses daily from Saint-Malo to Pontorson, which are timed to connect to buses to Mont St Michel.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>By bike:</b> Parking for bicycles is free, and the ride from Pontorson to the Mount is not particularly difficult.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>Get around:</b></u></span><br />
The only way to get around Mont St Michel is on foot, and there are two gates into the walled city. The Porte de l'Avancée, the main gate at the end of the causeway, leads straight to the Grande Rue, which is packed chock-a-block with souvenir shops and tourists. All routes converge at the Abbey on top of the island.</div>

<li><u><b>Abbey of Mont Saint Michel:</b></u> Open 2 May - 30 August: 9am-7pm and 1 September - 30 April: 9:30am-6pm. <b>Closed 1 January, 1 May and 25 December.</b> During the French Revolution, the abbey was used as a prison, and an extensive restoration was required to restore it. A few prison-era showpieces, like the human hamster wheel used to lift supplies in and out of the complex, have been kept.</li>
<li><u><b>Notre-Dame Sous Terre Chapel:</b></u> The Carolingian church named Chapelle Notre-Dame-sous-Terre (Our Lady underground) was built around 966 by the first Benedictine monks at the very place of the oratory erected by Saint-Aubert in the early VIII th century.</li>

<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>Stay safe </b></u></span><br />
The tidal mudflats surrounding the island contain areas of deep mud and quicksand. Visitors to the island are advised not to attempt crossing the flats by foot. <b>The tide here is one of the fastest-rising in Europe</b>, and as such you should never attempt any walks on the sands without checking the tide tables. It is also advisable to only attempt the crossing with a qualified guide. The Mount has several steep staircases, sheer drops, and uneven ground. Keep your children under close watch and ensure that you pay due attention at all times.<br />

Monument Valley experiences a desert climate with cold winters and hot summers. Summer highs rarely exceed 38 °C. Summer nights are comfortably cool, and temperatures drop quickly after sunset. Winters are cold, but daytime highs are usually above freezing. Monument Valley receives an occasional light snowfall in the winter, however, it usually melts within a day or two. </div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Go there:</u></b></span><br />
Highway 163 is the only way to reach the park. The Valley lies mostly in northern Arizona, but the highway turn-off that leads into it is just across the border in Utah. The nearest town is Kayenta, about twenty miles to the south.<br />
<br />
Monument Valley is a Navajo Tribal park, not a USA National Park (National Park passes will not be accepted). Visitors may pay an access fee and drive through the park on a 27km dirt road, a 2-3 hour trip. Individuals wishing to hike in the valley or to visit Parts of Monument Valley, such as Mystery Valley and Hunts Mesa must hire a Navajo guide for an additional fee.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>Get around:</b></u></span><br />
While many incredible formations can be seen from the main roads, the best views can be had from the 17 mile loop road that runs through the valley. The road is open 6AM-8:30PM in the summer (May - Sep) and 8AM-4:30PM in the winter (Oct - Apr). <br />
The loop is not paved and can be quite rough and dusty, but most vehicles should be able to manage. You are not permitted to deviate from the loop drive without a native guide present. The loop drive can be done in as little as 30-40 minutes, but most visitors will take several hours to enjoy the scenery.<br />

The its trails are over 500m. long and it's located between Tenryuji temple and Nonomiya Shrine. You can rent a bike, take a rickshaw ride or stroll the trails to enjoy the beautiful sight of sunlight shining through the bamboo forest. Strolling the trails you'll hear a soothing sound that wind makes when blowing amongst the bamboo, this sound has been voted as one of the “one hundred must-be-preserved sounds of Japan” by the Japanese government. Though it's the beauty of the bamboo that brings in the mass of tourists, those distinct rustling sounds have become an attraction in their own right.<br />
To walk across the bamboo forest there's no admission fee and it's open 24/7.<br />

The Japanese have a long history with bamboo, in myths and legends, metaphorically linking a mans strength with this plant. Many festivals also include the use of bamboo in various forms. We can see that from bamboo ice cream cups, buildings and fences.</div>

Burano is a small island north of Venice in Italy. It is situated near Torcello at the northern end of the Venetian Lagoon, and is known for its small, brightly painted houses.</div>
<a name='more'></a><b>Burano is situated 7 kilometres from Venice</b>, a 40-minute trip by Venetian motorboats, "vaporetti". The island is linked to Mazzorbo by a bridge. The current population of Burano is about 2,800. The colours of the houses follow a specific system originating from the golden age of its development, if someone wishes to paint their home, one must send a request to the government, who will respond by making notice of the certain colours permitted for that lot.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>How to get there:</b></u></span><br />
<b>From Venice</b>, get on LN line vaporetti from Fondamente Nuove, north side of the town, near the hospital. <br />
<b>From Jesolo and from all the beaches on the adriatic north coast</b>, get on the LN line vaporetti from Tre Porti or from Punta Sabbioni. <br />
When you get off, turn left into the park, then right into the village.</div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>Leave Burano:</b></u></span><br />
Vaporetto's leave about <b>every 30 minutes in each direction</b>. A worthy visit is to the nearby village of Torcello, only 5 minutes away by boat.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Petra, is a historical and archaeological city in the southern Jordanian governorate of Ma'an that is famous for its rock-cut architecture and water conduit system.</div>
<a name='more'></a>Due to its breathtaking grandeur and fabulous ruins, Petra was recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1985.<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Another name for Petra is the Rose City due to the color of the stone out of which it is carved. Established possibly as early as 312 BC as the capital city of the Arab Nabataeans, it is a symbol of Jordan, as well as Jordan's most-visited tourist attraction. Petra was named amongst the New 7 Wonders of the World in 2007 and was also chosen by the Smithsonian Magazine as one of the "28 Places to See Before You Die".</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>Some historical informations:</b></u></span></div>
Petra was the impressive capital of the Nabataean kingdom from around the 6th century BC. The kingdom was absorbed into the Roman Empire in AD 106 and the Romans continued to expand the city. An important center for trade and commerce, Petra continued to flourish until a catastrophic earthquake destroyed buildings and crippled vital water management systems around AD 663. After Saladin's conquest of the Middle East in 1189, Petra was abandoned and the memory of it was lost to the West. The ruins remained hidden to most of the world until the Swiss explorer Johann Ludwig Burckhardt, disguised as an Arab scholar, infiltrated the Bedouin-occupied city in 1812. Burckhardt accounts of his travels inspired other Western explorers and historians to discover the ancient city further. The most famous of these was David Roberts, a Scottish artist who created accurate and detailed illustrations of the city in 1839. The first major excavations of the site were in 1929 after the forming of Trans-Jordan. Since that time, Petra has become by far Jordan's largest tourist attraction. The site was included in the Steven Spielberg movie, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade in 1989.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>Go there: </b></u></span><br />
<b>Entry ticket</b><b> to Petra</b> costs 90 JD (=127 USD) for those who are Day-Visitors to Jordan, i.e. those tourists staying in Israel or Egypt who will spend the day in Petra and return without spending the night in Jordan. Tourists who overnight and cruise visitors in Jordan pay 50 JD (=70 USD) for 1 day's access to Petra, 55 JD for 2 days or 60 JD for 3 days.<br />
Students have to pay the full price, unless they have a valid Jordanian University ID then the entry fee is 1 JD.<br />
If you don't feel like paying the whopping 50 JD, then another option is petra at night which is 17 JD. It runs Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, and starts 20:30. They will light candles all along the way to the treasury, and a lot of candles in front of it. The bad part is that you only get to see the treasury.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<u><b>On foot:</b></u><br />
Petra archeological site is reachable by an easy 20 minute walk from the town centre or most hotels in the town of Petra. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<u><b>By bus:</b></u><br />
JETT buses, both ordinary and all-inclusive guided tour, connect to Amman and Aqaba via the fast Desert Highway. Other tourists come with organized groups.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<u><b>By minibus:</b></u><br />
Public minibus from Wadi Musa (Petra) to Ma'an is 0.55 JD and from there to Aqaba 1.50 JD (April 2012). <br />
The minibus from Wadi Rum costs 7 JD. It takes 2 hours to get to Petra. There are also minibuses from Amman departing from the Wihdat bus station these leave when full, and tourists are charged 5 JD to get on. The ride is about three hours.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<u><b>By rental car:</b></u><br />
Jordanian traffic is chaotic and do not expect other drivers to follow normal traffic rules. GPS navigation can often be inaccurate and unreliable as some secondary roads are not mapped even in the latest maps. Petrol stations are not frequent and outside large towns 95RON premium is not available.<br />
<u><b>By taxi:</b></u><br />
Taxi is also a viable option. For 75 JD or less (depending on how much you haggle) you may be able to get a private taxi from Amman to Petra and back, including the driver waiting around for 6 hours. Official rate said to be 70JD. A taxi from Aqaba to Petra should cost about JD 20-30 one-way.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>Get around:</b></u></span><br />
The only modes of transport allowed within Petra are on two feet or four (camel, donkey or horse).<br />
When entering Petra, there is a brief hike down towards the Siq. "Free" horses will be available for travel to the entrance of the Siq, or you can choose to take a horse-drawn buggy through the Siq and down to the Treasury.<br />
<b>WARNING:</b> Be very careful in dealing with the horse men, they will tell you that the horse ride is free, but once you are riding, will reveal that the "tipping" cost is actually 18 JOD per person. The ride takes about 5 minutes and is no quicker than walking.<br />
There are 4 segments within Petra with 3 potential animal transport. From the entrance to the Siq (by horse), From the Entrance to the Treasury (by cart), From the Treasury to the stairs of the Monastery (by donkey or camel), the 800 stairs of the monastery (by donkey).<br />
Riding a camel is a unique experience on more level ground, but a donkey is recommended for more ambitious climbs, such as the ones to the High Place or the Monastery.<br />
Camels are the only animals respected by their owners in Petra as they're very expensive and less docile than donkeys or horses.<br />
However if you are reasonably fit and the weather is good, the walk is quite nice. Prefer climbing the Monastery's path from 3pm on, it will be mostly in the shadow. Riding a donkey is nothing for the animal friends as they treat the animals not always as they should and the climb at noon in the summer months is really hard for them. So if you can walk, it's better to spare the animals.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>To see:</b></u></span> <br />
Petra is an archaeological park, so the entrance fees are considered fairly steep compared to other Jordanian attractions. Guides can be hired from about 50 JD and up, depending on what you want to see. Alternatively, major hotels can rent you a portable Easyguide audio guide (JD 10/day) for commentary in English, Arabic, French and Spanish.<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><b>The entrance to Petra</b> is a long, winding sandstone canyon known as the Siq (about 2km). There are minor carvings spotted here and there throughout the Siq, but the most impressive sights are the colorful and unusual sandstone patterns in the rock walls. There are also remains of terracotta pipes built into the sides of the canyon that were used in Roman times to carry water.</li>
<li>Upon exiting the Siq, visitors can view the grandeur of the <b>Treasury (al-Khazneh in Arabic)</b>. Be sure to note the urn atop the Treasury structure. It has been rumored that the urn contained a Pharaoh's hidden treasure, and the urn bears the bullet pock marks where Bedouin travellers throughout the years have tested the theory.</li>
<li>On the next bend is the <b>outer Siq or Street of Facades</b>, a large canyon lined with the facades of various tombs.</li>
<li>At the end of the Street of Facades is the <b>7000 seats Roman Theater</b>. The theater was created by the Nabateans but later enlarged by the Romans. It is still used for occasional performances.</li>
<li>On the side of the valley opposite the Roman Theater and a short walk up the hill, are the <b>Royal Tombs</b>. The name was given because they are quite grand in scale compared to the others in the area, but it is unclear for whom the tombs were originally constructed.</li>
<li><b>The Monastery (ad-Deir)</b>, the largest carved monument in Petra, dates back to the 1st century AD. The interior, like that of the Treasury, is puny in comparison to the facade. The more than 800 steps up to the Monastery can take over an hour. Few visitors choose to ride donkeys up to the top. The donkeys are treated very badly, and it's quite depressing seeing this along the way.</li>
<li><b>Petra by Night</b> happens on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday at 20:30. Entrance fee is 17 JD and you do not need a day pass. It is only made of candles, you'll hear a short play of Bedouin music and be served some tea in plastic cups while you sit on mats at the Treasury.</li>
<li><b>Princess Alia Clinic</b>, Brooke Hospital for Animals located just inside the entrance to the park. As you can witness inside Petra, not all donkeys, horses and camels are treated right. The Brooke charity educates owners about the treatment of equestrian working animals and treats the animals for free. The clinic is happy to tell you about conditions for working animals in Jordan. You can give a donation to the clinic.</li>

<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>To Do:</b></u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There are a number of popular hikes around Petra. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<ul>
<li>In order to understand what in reality Petra is, it is better to <b>spend two days there</b>. The first day: Siq - Treasury - City - Monastery. The second day: another way to Petra through Wadi Muthlim - see the Treasury from above on Jebel Al -Khubtha - High Place of Sacrifice. It may not be possible to go through this route due to excess water in it. It's not recommended doing this route without a guide.</li>
<li><b>The High Place of Sacrifice:</b> The site at the top of the mountain contains elaborate rock altars used for sacrifices. From the High Place, one can view much of Petra from above. Beautiful scenery. The trek down the back side of the mountain reveals many interesting tombs and carvings that might be missed by the average tourist. The round trip generally takes 1.5-2.5 hours.</li>
<li><b>The Mountain of Aaron</b> is the highest peak in the area. At the top you will find a small church and the tomb of Aaron, brother of Moses. The route to the top and back will take you past the Monastery and will take 4-8 hours depending on your chosen path.</li>
</ul>
Most hikes last about 2-3 hours both way. Once you have seen Petra consider exploring Little Petra and the bordering deserts Wadi Rum and Wadi Araba. You can hire a local Bedouin guide for single or multiple day treks by foot, 4WD, horse or camel. Sleeping under the stars in a Bedouin camp and cooking a meal Bedouin style is a special experience.<br />

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<b>The Tour du Mont Blanc</b> or <b>TMB</b> is one of the most popular long distance walks in Europe. It circles the Mont Blanc Massif covering a distance of roughly 170 km with 10 km of ascent and passes through parts of <b>Switzerland</b>,<b> Italy </b>and<b> France</b>.<br />
<a name='more'></a>The circular route is normally walked in an anti-clockwise direction in 7 to 10 days. It is also the route of an annual mountain marathon in which the winner normally covers the entire distance in less than 24 hours.<br />
Usual start points are Les Houches in the Chamonix valley or Les Contamines in the Montjoie valley in France, Courmayeur from the Italian side, and either Champex or a point near Martigny in Switzerland. The route passes through seven valleys around the Mont-Blanc.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
The official route has changed over the course of the years and many alternatives exist to the standard route. Some of these take the intrepid walker onto paths requiring greater fitness, awareness and skill. Others provide conveniently less demanding options, which are often quicker than the accepted route but provide lesser viewpoints onto the mountain ranges.<br />
For a part of the way, between the summit of Brevent and the Col de la Croix du Bonhomme, the route coincides with the European long distance footpath GR5 as it makes its way from the North Sea to the Mediterranean Sea. A link can also be made with the walkers Haute Route from Chamonix to Zermatt in the Swiss Alps.<br />
<b>The highest points on any variant of the trail are the Col des Fours in France and the Fenetre d'Arpette in Switzerland, both at an altitude of 2,665m. </b>Although, for most, this is not high enough to cause altitude sickness, the trail nevertheless represents a tough physical proposition. Experience of walking in mountain country should be considered vital. In addition the weather can change very rapidly indeed and one should always be suitably equipped for the challenge. <br />
<br />
Plentiful accommodation exists along the entire route, allowing it to be broken into segments to suit any fit person. This takes a variety of forms, from separate bedrooms to large dormitories. Cooked meals are available at most. Despite the abundance of choice, the popularity of the trail can lead to problems finding accommodation. It is, however, possible to book accommodation in advance.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Vajdahunyad Castle is a castle in the City Park of Budapest, Hungary. It was built in 1896 as part of the Millennial Exhibition which celebrated the 1,000 years of Hungary since the Hungarian Conquest of the Carpathian Basin in 895. As the castle contains parts of buildings from various time periods, it displays different architectural styles: Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque.

The Santa Claus Park that is connected to the Santa Claus Village was in 2007 awarded by Topworld International and placed as the second best Travel Adventure in Finland. So long in 2008, it still holds second position after Topworld invited travelers to vote for their own Top 10 list over adventures.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>Go there:</b></u></span><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><u><b>By plane:</b></u> Rovaniemi Airport, located 8 km north from the city center of Rovaniemi, is the largest airport in northern Finland. Most of the flights go south to Helsinki, but it fields a limited number of international flights mostly to North Russian destinations like Murmansk. To get to the city center you have to take a bus or a taxi. </li>
<li><u><b>By train:</b></u> Rovaniemi railway station Rovaniemi is the terminus of most trains from the south. The line extends only a little further northeast to Kemijärvi. The journey from Helsinki takes 9 to12 hours and is reasonably comfortable in a sleeper. You can also take your car with you. The railway station is located right next to the city centre of Rovaniemi.</li>
<li><u><b>By bus:</b></u> Gold Line and Oy Matkahuolto Ab operate daily night buses to Rovaniemi from Helsinki via Helsinki-Vantaa Airport. Coming by bus from the south is relatively cheap but requires about 14 hours of sitting. The bus station is in the city center and is just a few hundred meters away from the railway station.</li>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>1. Heidelberg Castle, Germany.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Heidelberg Castle is a famous ruin in Germany and landmark of Heidelberg. The castle has only been partially rebuilt since its demolition in the 17th and 18th centuries. It is located 80 metres up the northern part of the Königstuhl hillside, and thereby dominates the view of the old downtown. The earliest castle structure was built before 1214 and later expanded into two castles circa 1294, however, in 1537, a lightning-bolt destroyed the upper castle. The present structures had been expanded by 1650, before damage by later wars and fires. In 1764, another lightning-bolt caused a fire which destroyed some rebuilt sections.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The Château de Chambord at Chambord, Loir-et-Cher, France, is one of the most recognizable châteaux in the world because of its very distinctive French Renaissance architecture which blends traditional French medieval forms with classical Renaissance structures. The building, which was never completed, was constructed by King Francis I of France. <br />
For a time the building was left abandoned, though in the 19th century some attempts were made at restoration. The château is now open to the public, receiving 700,000 visitors in 2007.</div>

<i>Zhangye Danxia is known for the unusual colours of the rocks, which are smooth, sharp and several hundred meters tall. They are the result of deposits of sandstone and other minerals that occurred over 24 million years. The result, similar to a layer cake, is connected to the action of the same tectonic plates responsible for creating parts of the Himalayan mountains. Wind, rain, and time then sculpted extraordinary shapes, including towers, pillars, and ravines, with varying colours, patterns, and sizes.</i></div>

<i>Machu Picchu was built in the classical Inca style, with polished dry-stone walls. Its three primary structures are the Intihuatana, the Temple of the Sun, and the Room of the Three Windows. Most of the outlying buildings have been reconstructed in order to give tourists a better idea of what the structures originally looked like. By 1976, 30% of Machu Picchu had been restored, restoration continues today. </i></div>
<i>Machu Picchu was declared a Peruvian Historical Sanctuary in 1981 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983. In 2007, Machu Picchu was voted one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in a worldwide Internet poll.</i><br />
<br />
<i><u><b>Some historical info about this ancient site:</b></u><br />These ruins became known to the scientific world in 1911, after the American archaeologist Hiram Bingham. The story of Machu Picchu is quite a remarkable, it is still unknown exactly what the site was in terms of its place in Inca life. Current researchers tend to believe that Machu Picchu was a country resort for elite Incas. The Incas started building it around 1430 AD, but it was abandoned as an official site for the Inca rulers a hundred years later at the time of the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire. One thing that is clear is that it was a remarkably well hidden place, and well protected.</i><br />

<u><span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>Go there:</i></b></span></u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b><u>By bus from Aguas Calientes:</u></b> If arriving by train into Aguas Calientes, walk out of the station and keep going roughly straight through the warren of handicraft stalls and over a foot bridge to the bus departure area. Frequent buses leave to the ruins. The journey takes around 1/2 hour. Buses depart when full, which typically means they run quite regularly. <br /><u><b>By foot from Aguas Calientes:</b></u> From Aguas Calientes to get to the ruins themselves it is also possible to walk along a similar 8km route, which will take about 1-2 hours up, and around an hour back down. This route is mainly stairs, it is a strenuous and long hike but is very rewarding. The descent is fairly easy, just take care when the steps are wet.</i><i> </i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><u><b>By foot via the Inca Trail:</b></u> Hiking the Inca Trail is a great way to arrive as you first see the city through the Sun Gate. Both the four-day and two-day hikes are controlled by the government. Travellers should be fit enough to walk for days and sleep in tents. Every traveller needs to travel with a tour agency because of the rules and regulations of entering the park. Some of these approved tour agencies: Tierras Vivas, Cusi Travel, Llama Path and Adventure Life.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><u><b>Alternative treks to Machu Picchu:</b></u> There are also other options available for hiking to Machu Picchu. Two other optional trek options, but equally as good, are the <b>Salkantay trek</b> and the Inka <b>Jungle trek</b> to Machu Picchu. Most, if not all, tour agencies in Cuzco offer these. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>The Salkantay trek</b> is a 4-5 day trek through the Salkantay Mountain Pass and can also be done independently if you have the gear and some experience. The scenery is amazing and if you go in the rainy season you will be rewarded with dozens of waterfalls. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>The Inka Jungle trek</b> to Machu Picchu is an alternative and adrenaline hike to Machu Picchu.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>The Lares Trek</b> is a high altitude trek, you will appreciate the Andean Lifestyle, the classic colourful ponchos, Llamas, Alpacas and stone thatched houses. If you don't have much time to hike the Inca Trail 4 days and there aren't any spaces available for the short Inca Trail, you might want to consider the <b>Putucusi trek</b> or <b>Llactapata trek</b> to Machu Picchu.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>Other alternative trip to Machu Picchu is by car, is an option for independent travellers wishing to go it alone. Minivans and buses are cheap from "Terminal Santiago" in Cusco.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>Santa Maria is further away from Aguas Calientes than Santa Teresa but is a nice option for those wishing to hike an alternative Inca trail used locally.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>The Peruvian government has imposed a 500 person pass limit per day on Inca Trail traffic. Travellers must have a valid passport in order to purchase a pass at the time of reservation. </i></div>

<i><span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>Go around:</b></u></span><br />There are no vehicles of any kind in the park, bring some comfortable walking shoes, especially if you plan to do any of the hikes such as Wayna Picchu. No walking sticks are allowed, but this rule is rarely enforced. The main ruins are fairly compact and easily walkable.</i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>To see:</b></u></span><br />Take your time walking around the site, as there are many places to see and explore. Although it is not necessary, taking a guided tour does provide a deeper insight into the ancient city.</i><br />
<i><u><b>Sun Gate (Inti Punku):</b></u> If you've just arrived via the Inka Trail, this will be your first experience of the ruins. From here you can see back down each valley offering excellent views. It's a fairly strenuous hike but well worth it.<br /><u><b>Temple of the Sun:</b></u> Near the summit of the main city, the stonework on the temple is incredible. </i><br />
<i><b><u>Intihuatana:</u></b> A stone carved so that on certain days, at dawn, the sun makes a certain shadow, thus working as a sun dial.</i><br />
<i><u><b>Temple of the Three Windows <br />Main Temple</b></u> </i><br />
<i><u><b>Temple of the Condor:</b></u> The tour guides will try to tell you that this was a temple, but look closely: between the wings of the condor is a chamber with grooves cut in the stone to secure manacles, a walkway behind where a torturer may have walked to whip the prisoners' backs, and a scary looking pit to let the blood of prisoners drain. Clearly the condor was a symbol of cruel justice, but a sanitized version is told for the benefit of middle-aged tourists and their children.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>To do:</u></b></span><br /><u><b>Wayna Picchu.</b></u> Towering above the south end of Machu Picchu is this steep mountain, often the backdrop to many photos of the ruins. Stone steps are laid along most of the path, and in the steeper sections steel cables provide a supporting handrail. There's a tiny cave near the top that must be passed through, it is quite low and a rather tight squeeze. Take care at the peak, it can be somewhat precarious, and those afraid of heights may want to hang out just below. The entire walk is through beautiful landscape, and the views from the top are stunning, including birds eye views over the whole site. There's also a few ruins near the top. Only 400 people allowed per day to climb the mountain, split into two groups.</i><br />
<i>If you have some more time, you can also walk to the <u><b>Moon Temple (Templo de la Luna)</b></u> and the <u><b>Great Cave (Gran Caverne)</b></u>. It's a long walk and adventurous hike involving several ladders. Some may find that the sites aren't really rewarding, but unexpected wildlife can be seen. The caves can be reached either by hiking down the trail from the peak of Huayna Picchu or by the split from the main Wayna Picchu trail. Remember that it is much easier to descend from Wayna Picchu than to ascend from these temples. Be sure to bring plenty of water and snacks for this long hike. The hike from the summit to the caves and back to the checkpoint takes about two more hours.</i></div>

<i><b>Portofino</b> is an <b>Italian fishing village</b> and vacation resort famous for its picturesque harbour and historical association with celebrity and artistic visitors. </i><br />
<a name='more'></a><i><b>It is located in the Liguria region of Italy, in the Ligurian Sea on the Italian Riviera</b>. </i></div>
<i>The town is clustered around its small harbour, and is known for the colourfully painted buildings that line the shore. Portofino is a <b>popular yachting destination</b>.</i><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>In Portofino the walking might be your best option. The town is not large and most hotels and beaches are a short walk from the harbor. Mopeds seem to be a popular choice for getting about, especially for those people visiting several of the small regional towns like Paraggi or San Fruttuoso on their own schedule. If you have a boat at your disposal, would be another convenient way to move around the area. There are rentals available in the harbor. Taxis are available too.</i><br />

<i>According to Pliny the Elder, <b>Portofino was founded by the Romans and named Portus Delphini, or Port of the Dolphin</b>, because of the large number of dolphins that inhabited the Tigullian Gulf. In the late 19th century, first British, then other Northern European aristocratic tourists began to visit Portofino, which they reached by horse and cart from Santa Margherita Ligure. Aubrey Herbert and Elizabeth von Arnim were amongst the more famous English people to make the area fashionable. Eventually more expatriates built expensive vacation houses, and by 1950 tourism had supplanted fishing as the town's chief industry, and the waterfront was a continuous ring of restaurants and cafés.</i></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>To see: </b></u></span><i><br /><b>Everything!</b> Truly, the most impressive thing about Portofino is the lifestyle, so running off and "seeing the sights" probably won't be your number one priority when you plan your trip. There are some notable attractions that might be able to lure you from the beaches, but the view from the harbor or any of the surrounding beaches is unforgettable and one could spend the entire day marveling at it.</i></div>
<i><u><b>Castello Brown</b></u> is a 16th century castle/fort, once used for the area's defense, but now primarily a museum with a fantastic view of the harbor and the Mediterranean Sea.</i><br />
<i><u><b>The church of St. Martin (Divo Martino)</b></u> is around the corner from the harbor and is a quaint, stylish little chiesa from the 11th century. It's definitely worth taking a casual stroll around it. </i><br />
<i><u><b>Statue of Christ of the Abyss</b></u>, put underwater on 29 August 1954 in the small bay at a depth of 17 metres (56 ft). This statue was placed to protect fishermen and scuba divers and in memory of Dario Gonzatti. Sculpted by Guido Galletti, it represents a benedictory Christ who is looking up towards the sky with open arms as a sign of peace.</i><br />
<i><u><b>Church of St. George</b></u>, housing some saints' relics. <br /><u><b>Oratory of Santa Maria Assunta</b></u>, in Gothic style.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<u><span style="font-size: large;"><b>To do:</b></span></u><i><br />One of the best things you can do in Portofino is <b>relax</b>. Walk around the small city, hear the sea, take a rest at the end of the left Marconi quay. There is a small wine bar where you have an occasion to drink something seated less than one meter from the sea. Usually all the boutiques are open from the end of February until the end of October. </i><br />
<i>You can <u><b>visit San Fruttuoso Bay</b></u> and <u><b>try to see the sculpture of Christ of the Abyss</b></u>. You can reach San Fruttuso only by sea. It's an unforgettable experience.</i><br />
<i>If you have some days off, you can also <u><b>visit the Acquarium on Genoa</b></u> (30 km from Portofino) the biggest one in Europe, and <u><b>walk around the port streets</b></u>. <u><b>There are a lot of museum and historical buildings</b></u>.</i><br />
<i>The well-known <u><b>town of Pisa is also only roughly 2 hours from Portofino</b></u>, and if you simply can't miss its leaning tower, it is well within reach of a day trip.</i><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>Go there:</b></u></span><br />
<i>The
closest major airport to Portofino is the Christopher Columbus airport
in Genoa. From there you can rent a car, as it is a relatively short
(35.8 km) ride. Overall the drive takes a little over an hour.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>Two other options if you are unable to get to Genoa are Nice in France and Milan in Italy. They are a bit farther away.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>The
nearest railway station, S. Margherita Ligure-Portofino, is about 5 km
away in Santa Margherita Ligure. A train from Genoa takes around 45
minutes and costs around 3 euros. There are buses and boats to Portofino
from Santa Margherita Ligure.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>Much
more relaxing is a pleasant ferry ride along the coast. In summer,
there is one direct daily departure in each direction from Genoa. It is
scheduled to allow a pleasant day trip. Otherwise, the region's
well-developed ferry network provides various connections that could get
you to Portofino with a change of boats in such as Santa Margherita
Ligure. Expect the ride to take a little longer than driving. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>One
final option should you happen to have the resources, just sidle into
the harbor or a cove in your personal yacht. Portofino is a popular
destination for the world's wealthy, and the luxurious yachts constantly
dot the horizon in this lovely Mediterranean port.</i></div>

Its construction began in 1972 and lasted about two years until its completion in 1974. The residence was initially used by the owners as a holiday destination. Today, Casa de Penedo is a small museum of relics and photographs from Penedo’s history. The building is located near a wind electricity farm, although there is no electricity inside the house itself. Due to its unusual design and integration into the surrounding nature, the building has become a growing tourist attraction.</i><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>For the thirty-three years, Cheval picked up stones during his daily mail round and carried them home to build the Palais idéal. He spent the first twenty years building the outer walls. At first, he carried the stones in his pockets, then switched to a basket. Eventually, he used a wheelbarrow. He often worked at night, by the light of an oil lamp. The Palais is a mix of different styles with inspirations from Christianity to Hinduism. Cheval bound the stones together with lime, mortar and cement. </i></div>

The complex is dominated by two huge enclosures consisting of adjoining domes that house thousands of plant species, and each enclosure emulates a natural biome. The domes consist of hundreds of hexagonal and pentagonal, inflated, plastic cells supported by steel frames. The first dome simulates a tropical environment, and the second a Mediterranean environment.</i></div>

Its architecture, comprising complex, organic, non-rectilinear shapes, has been described as expressionist.

Designed by the engineer André Waterkeyn and architects André and Jean Polak, it stands 102 m. tall. Its nine 18 m. diameter stainless steel clad spheres are connected so that the whole forms the shape of a unit cell of an iron crystal magnified 165 billion times. It is a museum. Tubes of 3 m. diameter connect the spheres along the 12 edges of the cube and all eight vertices to the centre. They enclose stairs, escalators and a lift in the central, vertical tube to allow access to the five habitable spheres which contain exhibit halls and other public spaces. The top sphere includes a restaurant which has a panoramic view of Brussels. CNN named it Europe's most bizarre building.</i><br />

<i>The <span style="color: blue;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreal_Biosph%C3%A8re" target="_blank">Biosphere</a></span> is a museum in Montreal dedicated to the environment. It is located at Parc Jean-Drapeau, on Saint Helen's Island in the former pavilion of the United States for the 1967 World Fair, Expo 67. In August, 1990, Environment Canada purchased the site to turn it into an interactive museum showcasing and exploring the water ecosystems of the Great Lakes-Saint Lawrence River regions. The museum was inaugurated in 1995 as a water museum, and is a set of enclosed buildings designed by Éric Gauthier, inside the original steel skeleton. The Biosphère changed its name in 2007 to become an environment museum. It offers interactive activities and presents exhibitions about the major environmental issues related to water, climate change, air, ecotechnologies and sustainable development. </i></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
The <b>Lençóis Maranhenses National Park (Parque Nacional dos Lençóis Maranhenses)</b> is located on the eastern coast of the state of <b>Maranhão</b> by the banks of
the <b>Preguiças River</b>, the park embraces the municipalities of Humberto de
Campos, Primeira Cruz, Santo Amaro do Maranhão and Barreirinhas in northeastern <b>Brazil</b>. <br />
<a name='more'></a>It is an area of low, flat, occasionally flooded land, overlaid with large, discrete sand dunes. It encompasses roughly 1,500 km2 (580 sq mi), and despite abundant rain, supports almost no vegetation. <b>The area became a National Park on June 2, 1981</b>. <br />
The shifting dunes with the lakes in between are most spectacular at low sun, when a range of shadows come into play. Just after sunrise is probably the very best because of lower temperatures. <br />
Dry sands don't cater for much. Some tiny fish in the lakes along with very small amounts of pond weed, the occasional bird and some bushes along the rim of the dunes. <br />
<b>Best time to visit is May - September</b>, after the rains, and before the lakes dry out. The almost constant breeze may fool you into thinking the sun is not getting at you so be super careful and remember to constantly apply sun screen!<br />
<b>Brazilian authorities recommend that you get a yellow fever vaccine before travelling to this area.</b><br />
Motor vehicles are not allowed in the park, however, many agencies will offer 4X4 tours. These seem the best way visit the dunes - you have a guide who accompanies you.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Composed of large, white, sweeping dunes, at first glance Lençóis Maranhenses looks like an archetypal desert, but in fact it is not an actual desert. Lying just outside the Amazon Basin, the region is subject to a regular rain season during the beginning of the year. <b>The rains cause a peculiar phenomenon: fresh water collects in the valleys between sand dunes and is prevented from percolating down by a layer of impermeable rock which lies underneath the sand</b>. The resulting blue, green and black "lagoons" are surrounded by the desert-like sand, and reach their fullest between July and September. The lagoons have large numbers of fish that arrive when the lagoons are at their fullest after July, when they are interconnected to rivers such as the Rio Negro. One species of fish, the wolf fish or tiger fish (Hoplias malabaricus) stays dormant in the mud and moist areas after the majority of the water has evaporated, re-emerging during the next rainy season.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Many people reside in the park, as is also the case with nearby Jericoacoara. The inhabitants work primarily as fishermen during the rainy season. During the dry season, many leave for neighboring regions to work small plots of land.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>Go there: </b></u></span><br />
<u><b>From São Luís</b></u> is the easiest way: take a bus to Barreirinhas. There are a number of different tour companies that can arrange to have you collected from your accommodation in Sao Luis (hotel, hostel or even your own house!) and will take you by luxury coach to Barreirinhas where you will then transfer to a 4X4 to continue the journey to the national park.<br />
<u><b>You can also just get a regular bus from the Sao Luis rodoviaria to Barreirinhas</b></u>, which is not expensive. The trips into the Lençois from Barreirinhas are very touristy. For a more authentic and personal experience, get the boat from Barreirinhas to Atins, and from there a 4x4 and a guide to take you to the lagoon. </div>
<u><b>From Fortaleza</b></u>, either go to Paulino Neves or to Barreirinhas. <br />
<u><b>From Jericoacoara</b></u>, two main options: <br />
<u><i>Get a 4x4 directly to Barreirinhas</i></u> which takes around 7 hours.<br />
<u><i>Use Public transport.</i></u> Get buses and vans from Jeri to Barreirinhas or Cabure via Camocim, Parnaia, Tutoia, Paulino Neves. It takes two days (one night in Parnaiba or Tutoia).<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>Get around:</b></u></span><br />
No motor transport inside the park, but plenty around the perimeter. No real roads though, so <b>you need a good 4x4</b>. Horses and donkeys are alternatives.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>To do:</b></u></span><br />
Trek across the dunes, swim in the many lakes and ponds, be dazzled by the beauty, listen to the silence of the area. Go kayaking on the Preguiças River.<br />

<b>Moominworld</b> is the Moomin Theme Park especially for children, based on the Moomin books by Tove Jansson. Moominworld is on the island of Kailo beside the old town of Naantali, near the city of Turku in Southwest <b>Finland</b> region.<br />
The blueberry-coloured Moomin House is the main attraction. Tourists are allowed to freely visit all five storeys. Hemulen's yellow house is located next to the Moomin House. It is also possible to see Moominmama's Kitchen, Fire Station, Snufkin's Camp, Moominpappa's boat, etc. in Moomin World. Visitors may meet Moomin characters there or the Witch in her cottage.<br />
Moominworld isn't a traditional amusement park, as it does not have rides. There are many activities and fantasy paths for children there, e.g. Toffle's Path with Witch's Labyrinth, The Hattifatteners' Cave and The Groke's House. There are also performances in Moomin Theatre Emma.<br />
Moomin World is open daily from mid-June to mid-August. The nearby Väski Adventure Island is also a special sight for children.<br />

<b>Rothenburg ob der Tauber or just Rothenburg</b>, is a town on the <b>Romantic Road in Bavaria, Germany</b>, about halfway in between Frankfurt and Munich. <br />
<a name='more'></a><b>It is known for its medieval center (Altstadt)</b>, seemingly untouched by the passage of time, encircled by the undamaged 14th century town wall. <br />
In the Middle Ages, Rothenburg was a free imperial city, reaching its apex of prosperity under Bürgermeister Heinrich Toppler in the 15th century with a large population of 6,000 - much larger than Frankfurt and Munich at that time. <b>Now Rothenburg is a small town and a big tourist attraction</b>. The name "Rothenburg ob der Tauber" means, in German, <b>"Red fortress above the Tauber"</b>. This is so because the town is located on a plateau overlooking the Tauber River. As to the name "Rothenburg", some say it comes from the German words Rot (Red) and Burg (burgh, medieval fortified settlement), referring to the red colour of the roofs of the houses which overlook the river. The name may also refer to the process of retting ("rotten" in German) flax for linen production.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>To See:</b></u></span><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>The <b>Market Square (Marktplatz)</b> is the center of urban life in Rothenburg. The square is framed on the west by the Town Hall (Rathaus), on the north by the Councillors' Tavern (Ratstrinkstube) with its tourist information center, on the east by shops and cafés, and on the south by St. George's Fountain.</li>
<li>13th century <b>Town Hall Tower (Rathausturm)</b> at the center of the Altstadt offers the best view of the area. It costs €1 and takes 241 steps to get up. The tower does not have a foundation of its own: it rests on top of the gable of the Gothic building. The front part of the Town Hall, a Renaissance building, was built in the 16th century. It is free of charge to enter the Town Hall (Rathaus).</li>
<li><b>The Medieval Crime and Punishment Museum (Kriminalmuseum)</b>, just south of Market Square, is full of examples of torture equipment and is not for the faint-hearted.</li>
<li><b>The Plönlein</b>, a few blocks south of the Market Square, offers a charming medieval sight. Standing at the right point, you can see two towers: on the left, more or less straight ahead, is the Siebers Tower (Siebersturm) dating from 1385, and down on the right, from the Tauber valley, is the Kobolzell Gate (Kobolzeller Tor) dating from 1360. These two access roads form a small triangular square, which is Plönlein. The Plönlein is often referred to as one of the most photographed spots in Germany.</li>
<li>The <b>Town Wall </b>encircles the city, giving the Altstadt the shape of a head, with the nose - the Castle Garden - pointing west. The existing town wall was built in the 14th century, was partially damaged in World War II, and restored through gifts from donors from around the world. The Wall is about 2.5 km long and covered, with several towers and entrances at the gates. One of the easiest points of access to get up to the sentry wall is just south of Siebers Tower (Siebersturm). The entry is free and offers a good vantage point to see the town.</li>
<li><b>St. Jakobskirche (Church of St. Jacob)</b>, Klostergasse 15, north of the Market Square, contains a masterpiece by the famous Würzburg sculptor Tilman Riemenschneider (ca. 1460-1531). </li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>To Do:</b></u></span><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Two <b>walking tours</b> are offered. Both tours are in English, cost €6, and leave from Market Square. The tourist office tours are 90 min and run from April to October and December daily at 14:00. The 60 min Night Watchman's tour runs nightly mid-March to December at 20:00.</li>
<li><b>Town Wall tour</b>. The best stretch of the wall to walk is from the massive 16th century Spitaltor (go through the Siebersturm to the southern tip of the Spitalgasse) to the Klingentor, completed around 1400, at the northern tip of the wall. This takes about a half-hour if you don't stop. Offers excellent views and photographic opportunities.</li>

<b>The complex is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the "Nubian Monuments"</b>, which run from Abu Simbel downriver to Philae (near Aswan). The twin temples were originally carved out of the mountainside during the reign of <b>Pharaoh Ramesses II in the 13th century BC</b>, as a lasting monument to himself and his queen Nefertari, to commemorate his victory at the Battle of Kadesh. <b>The complex was relocated in its entirety in 1968</b>, on an artificial hill made from a domed structure, high above the Aswan High Dam reservoir. The relocation of the temples was necessary to prevent them from being submerged during the creation of Lake Nasser, the massive artificial water reservoir formed after the building of the Aswan High Dam on the Nile River.</div>
Abu Simbel is a village lying 280 km south of Aswan and only 40 km north of the Sudanese border. It is a very small settlement with very little to attract visitors other than its great temples for which it is famous. Few tourists linger for more than a few hours, although there are 5 hotels to attract visitors to stay the night. The temples at Abu Simbel were formerly located further down the hillside, facing the Nile in the same relative positions, but due to the rising waters of Lake Nasser, the original locations are underwater. In the 1960's, each temple was carefully sawed into numbered stone cubes, moved uphill, and reassembled before the water rose. The Great Temple of Ramses II was reassembled fronting a fake mountain, built like a domed basketball court, where the stone cubes occupy a section under the dome; from outside, the fake mountain looks like solid rock. Archaeologists have concluded that the immense sizes of the statues in the Great Temple were intended to scare potential enemies approaching Egypt's southern region, as they travelled down the Nile from out of Africa.<br />

The town of Abu Simbel is small enough to navigate on foot. Few people actually stay in Abu Simbel as most opt for the day-trip from Aswan. Abu Simbel is absolutely worth the trek - after seeing the magnanimous temples here, the pyramids will even seem less majestic to you.<br />
<b>To See:</b><br />
<u><b>Great Temple of Ramses II</b></u>: 6:00am to 5:00pm. Carved out of a mountain between 1274BC and 1244BC, but lost to the world until it was rediscovered in 1813 by Swiss explorer Jean Louis Burkhart. <b>Dedicated to Ramses II himself and gods Ra, Amun, and Ptah</b>. Its axis was positioned by the ancient Egyptian architects in such a way that twice a year, on February and October 20, the rays of the sun would penetrate the sanctuary and illuminate the sculpture on the back wall, except for the statue of Ptah, the god connected with the Underworld, who always remained in the dark. These dates are allegedly the king's birthday and coronation day respectively, but there is no evidence to support this, though it is quite logical to assume that these dates had some relation to a great event, such as the jubilee celebrating the thirtieth anniversary of the pharaoh's rule.<br />
<u><b>Temple of Hathor</b></u>: The main temple in one of the best preserved temple complexes in Egypt <br />
<u><b>Sound & Light Show</b></u>: Each night at 7pm and 8pm in winter and 8pm and 9pm in summer. Headphones are provided to allow visitors to hear the commentary in various languages.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>Get in:</b></u></span><br />
<u><b>By plane</b></u>: EgyptAir offers frequent flights to Abu Simbel from Aswan. Since 2015 you can't take the plane from Luxor to Abu Simbel.<br />
<u><b>By car</b></u>: Abu Simbel is currently inaccessible to foreigners travelling by their own car, on account of police security concerns. Travellers are only able to access Abu Simbel by bus from Aswan. Or they can rent a car with driver via a local agency, which is the most comfortable way. If you do this, make sure that it is a licensed and official agency as only those whose cars are cleared in advance by the police are permitted to join the convoy. Aswan Individual is the best company to hire for a day-trip from Aswan.<br />
<u><b>By bus</b></u>: Foreign travellers can get to Abu Simbel by coach or minibus from Aswan, travelling in police convoys. There is at least one daily convoy each way, taking 3 hours.<br />
Tip: Sit on the left hand side of the bus. You will see the sunrise in the morning and be in the shade on the way back.<br />
<u><b>By boat</b></u>: It is possible to travel by cruise ship from Aswan through Lake Nasser to Abu Simbel.<br />

Yes! Came the time to write about <b>Mykonos</b>! Mykonos it's very special for me, because I am from Mykonos, there I was born, grew up and went to school, I'm so lucky to come from this nice place.<br />
<br />

Mykonos is a popular tourist destination in the Greek islands of the Cyclades group, situated in the middle of the Aegean Sea. Mykonos is located south of Tinos, east of Syros and north of Paros and Naxos. The island spans an area of 85.5 square kilometres and rises to an elevation of 341 metres at its highest point. There are <b>10,134 inhabitants</b>, most of whom live in the largest town, Mykonos, which lies on the west coast. The town is also known as Chora. <b>Mykonos' nickname is The island of the winds</b>. Tourism is a major industry.</div>
</div>
</div>
<b>Mykonos is famed as a cosmopolitan destination</b> amongst the Greek islands and widely recognised as one of the great travel meccas. <b>It is one of the most tourist islands in the Aegean</b>. Mykonos, along with Santorini, is more expensive than other Greek islands. It would appear that on most days of the week, there will be at least one cruise ship docked, on these days, the <b>small narrow streets of Mykonos get quite crowded</b>. Mykonos tends to be extremely crowded with visitors in July and August. The <b>best time to visit Mykonos is mid-May through June</b> (early season, accommodation is much cheaper and it's not that hot), <b>or September through mid-October </b>(post season).<br />
Mykonos' main communities are <b>Chora</b>, the island's port town and capital, and <b>Ano Mera</b>. <b> </b><br />
<b>Mykonos Town (Chora) is a stunningly picturesque Cycladic town </b>with a maze of tiny streets and whitewashed steps lanes, houses and churches, gathered around its harbour in the middle of a wide bay. It is one of the most cosmopolitan and crowded towns of the Aegean. Although the streets are lined with little shops, boutiques, art galleries, cafes, stylish bars and restaurants, Mykonos Town has not completely lost its identity. Despite the island’s rapid growth and development, it’s traditional Cycladic architectural style and character has remained firmly intact, thanks to the island’s strict building regulations. Expect to find shops by Chanel, Burberry, Louis Vuitton and other well known, high-end brands. It would appear that these shops cater more for the tourists that arrive on many of cruise ships that dock nearby.<br />
<b>Ano Mera is a small village</b> on the middle of the island, and the only inland settlement on the whole of Mykonos, about <b>7 km east of Mykonos Town</b>. Ano Mera is based around a large central square, which is lined on three sides by a series of Greek tavernas. <b>The monastery of Panagia Tourliani, founded in 1542, is Ano Mera's most significant highlight</b>.<br />
<u><b>Other small communities include: </b></u><br />
<b>Agios Ioannis</b> is a small settlement with two taverns, one restaurant and one tiny store. Agios Ioannis is famous as the location for the movie "Shirley Valentine". <br />
<b>Agios Stefanos</b> with many hotels, good restaurants, taverns and cafes. <br />
<b>Platys Gialos</b> is a popular tourist resort where small fishing boats transport tourists to the southern beaches of Mykonos. <br />
<b>Ornos</b> with several choices for staying, food and drink, and a well organized food market with a butcher's shop, bakery, super market and a pharmacy. <br />
<b>Tourlos</b> is where most of the cruise ships dock, private yachts and fishing boats use the marina and the port receives some of the ferries coming from the mainland or other islands.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>To See:</b></u></span><br />
<u><b>The Windmills in Mykonos Town</b></u>. From as early as the 16th century, the windmills are one of the most recognized landmarks of Mykonos. Once this island was a great producer of wheat and bread. The area of the windmills has a splendid view on Little Venice and is the most popular place in Mykonos to watch the sunset.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<u><b>Little Venice (Alefkandra) in Mykonos Town</b></u>. A district located at the sea, famous for its picturesque medieval two and three storey houses, which stand like a wall above the sea, and their colourful wooden balconies. Little Venice is one of the most beautiful and romantic places in the whole of Mykonos and offers a fantastic sunset. A favourite activity is drinking a cocktail in one of the many bars and cafes while watching the sunset on the seashore. You will reach Little Venice walking from the windmills down the stairs. It is only a five minute walk from Fabrika bus station and there is a sign for it on the other side of the square.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<u><b>Panagia Paraportiani in Mykonos Town</b></u>. Of all the churches on Mykonos, the most impressive is Panagia Paraportianí, a true Byzantine jewel. This whitewashed church, which building dates back to 1425 and was not completed until the 17th century, is the most popular and most photographed of the 400 churches on the whole island of Mykonos. It is made up of four chapels at ground level with another one above. Only one of the chapels on the ground floor is open to visitors, from early morning until sunset. The church is located in the Kastro district, the oldest section of Mykonos Town. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<u><b>Petros the Pelican, the island's mascot</b></u>, can sometimes be found at the waterfront or even up in town. Originally the pelican was found wounded off the coast of Paranga shore after a storm back in the 1950s by a local fisherman. The pelican was nursed to health and remained on the island supported by locals. It soon adopted the name “Petros”. To great disappointment by locals and tourists alike, Petros was hit by a car on 2 December 1985 and failed to recover. After Petros died in 1986 he was so popular that a new pelican was introduced as a successor. Now there are three pelicans inhabiting the island.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><b>Psarou beach</b> (5km from Mykonos Town). This upmarket beach is popular amongst Greeks. Lots of hotels, apartments and restaurants. Psarou is easily accessible by bus from Mykonos Town.</li>
<li><b>Platys Gialos beach</b> (6km from Mykonos Town). Busy family and tourist beach. Lots of hotels, apartments, restaurants and beach bars, lining the long sandy beach.

Platys Gialos is the starting point for regular boat services to the other southern Mykonos beaches.</li>
<li><b>Paranga beach</b> (6km from Mykonos Town). Sandy beach. There are some rocks in water, but many places where you can enter over sand. There is a camping, some hotels and some nice beach bars and restaurants. Nudity is quite common, especially on the right end.

From June to September there is a boat from the harbour in Mykonos Town to Super Paradise, leaving in the morning and returning around 4:30PM in the afternoon. With your own transport it is a difficult winding road from Mykonos Town. The final hill can be tricky, because it is very steep. </li>
<li><b>Agrari beach</b> (8km from Mykonos Town). Agrari Beach is less popular than its neighbour Elia and much calmer. Well organized with sunbeds and umbrellas, with many watersports. </li>
<li><b>Elia beach</b> (8km from Mykonos Town). Elia is one of the larger beaches on Mykonos. It is a well organized beach with sunbeds and umbrellas, and various water sports. Three restaurants and taverns. Elia is most easily reached by a direct local bus from Mykonos Town’s northern bus terminal, but also with a regular boat service from Platys Gialos beach.</li>
<li><b>Kalo Livadi beach</b> (10km from, Mykonos Town). A quiet, long stretch of sandy beach. It offers some taverns with good food, and a few small hotels and villas. Best reached with your own transport, but you can get there by bus.</li>
<li><b>Kalafatis beach</b> (12km from Mykonos Town). A very large, beautiful and less developed beach and a favourite with windsurfers due to the offshore breeze. A variety of water sports are available here, including jet ski, water ski, wakeboard and tube rides. Kalafati can be reached by bus from Mykonos Town, but this bus only runs a few times a day. </li>
<li><b>Lia beach</b> (14km from Mykonos Town). An uncrowded, sandy beach. Deck chairs and umbrellas are available to rent. Some tiny houses of fishermen from a little settlement, with two taverns and a beach bar. To get there you need your own transport or you can walk from Kalafati.</li>
<li><b>Fokos beach.</b> A small beach with coarse sand, not known by many people. This beach has no facilities like sunbeds and umbrellas, but it offers a very good tavern. To get to Fokos you need your own transport. Follow the signs for Fokos from Ano Mera.</li>
<li><b>Ftelia beach</b> (near Ano Mera, southern part of Panormos Bay). This beach faces the north and thus it is affected by the strong summer northern winds, which make it ideal for wind surfing, but not for swimming or sunbathing. Ftelia is an isolated, very tranquil place and even during July and August not very crowded, because it is often quite windy and dusty. To get there you need your own transport.</li>
<li><b>Panormos beach.</b> On the north side of the island and facing east onto Panormos Bay is the long and beautiful Panormos Beach. Two restaurants, one hotel and a trendy beach club serve this otherwise remote area. Panormos is most easily reached by a direct local bus from Mykonos Town’s northern bus terminal. </li>
<li><b>Agios Sostis beach.</b> This beach faces the east of Panormos Bay. Agios Sostis is one of the more remote beaches on the island, without rental lounge chairs and umbrellas. Void of accommodation and crowds this beautiful beach offers not only peace and quiet, but also a very good small restaurant. To get there you need your own transport. Take the road beyond Panormos beach.</li>
<li><b>Agios Stefanos beach</b> (3km north of Mykonos Town). A well developed, sandy beach next to the new harbor. Agios Stefanos is very popular and gets very crowded during summer time. This beach is about the length of a soccer pitch. Agios Stefanos is reachable by bus from Mykonos town. </li>
<li><b>Tourlos beach</b> (2km north of Mykonos Town). A small beach near the new port of Mykonos. The actual beach of Tourlos is not used much anymore since the construction of the new port and marina, but is still a busy area.</li>
<li><b>Mykonos town beach (Aghia Anna)</b> There's a small beach at the harbour front. Unless you are waiting for a boat leaving from the old port, there is no reason staying there. Much better beaches are within easy reach.</li>
<li><b>Megali Ammos beach</b> (1km south of Mykonos Town). The nearest beach to Mykonos Town, just a 10-minute walk from Mykonos Town along the coast into the direction of Ornos. The beach is next to the central road. There is a huge slab in the sea which makes it a little difficult to swim. The beach has no umbrellas and sunbeds due to the strong northerly winds. There are a few hotels and apartments and a wonderful tavern.</li>
<li><b>Ornos beach </b>(3km south of Mykonos Town). Busy family and tourist beach. It gathers many for its sunbeds and umbrellas, and bars and restaurants. The sandy beach slopes gently into the sea. There are schools for sea-skiing and surfing. Ornos is easily accessible by bus from Mykonos Town. <b>2km north of Ornos is the beach of Korfos</b>, suitable for wind surfing, but not for swimming or sunbathing.</li>
<li><b>Agios Ioannis beach</b> (4km south west of Mykonos Town). Agios Ioannis is a small beach with snorkeling opportunities. The beach never gets over crowded and deck chairs are available to rent. Great tavern and cocktail bar very close. The beach offers a beautiful view towards the nearby islands of Delos and Rheneia. Agios Ioannis is easily accessible by bus from Mykonos Town. <b>Next to Agios Ioannis is the small beach of Kapari</b>, with a small nude section. This hidden beach is located north of Agios Ioannis, behind Agios Ioannis chapel, and then a steep walk downhill.</li>

<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>To Do:</b></u></span><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><b>Delos</b>, a small uninhabited island close to Mykonos, is a <b>UNESCO world heritage area</b> known for its important archaeological sites. There are daily excursions from Mykonos Town except Monday, when the archaeological site is closed. Boats leave from the pier at the west side of the harbour, right behind the little church of Agios Nikolaos. The boat trip takes about 30 minutes. Boat trips to Delos are also organised from Platys Gialos and Paranga Beach. The excavations are open from 8:30AM to 3PM, so have an early start if you really want to see it all. Delos is a must for all visitors. <b> </b></li>
<li><b>Mykonos Private Cruises</b> to Delos and Rhenia Island, with traditional Greek sailing boat.</li>
<li><b>From Platys Gialos you can take a cruise on a GlassBottom Discover Boat</b>, a boat with a glass floor at the bottom through which you can view underwater life. There are beach-to-beach cruises, sunset cruises and cruises to Delos and Rhenia.</li>
<li>Check the ferry schedules well, but it is possible to make <b>daytrips to the islands of Tinos, Syros, Paros and Naxos</b>.</li>
</ul>

<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>Get around:</b></u></span><br />
With a length of 12 to 15 km and a width of 10km, <b>Mykonos is one of the smallest of the Cyclades islands</b>. On Mykonos you can get around by bus, taxi, car, scooter, ATV or boat.<br />
<u><b>By bus:</b></u> There is a bus network that takes you around the island. There are two bus stations in Mykonos Town, each on different sides of Mykonos Town. From the main southern bus station, Fabrica, buses can be taken for departures to Platys Gialos, Paraga, Paradise, Ornos and Agios Ioannis. From the northern bus station which is not very far from the old port ferry quay, buses can be taken for departures to Ano Mera, Elia, Panormos and Kalafatis. Departure times are clearly marked at the two bus stations and the end of the bus routes. Frequencies of buses are higher in high season.<br />
<u><b>By taxi:</b></u> On the entire island there are only about 30 taxis, which means that depending on taxis for transport can be an exercise of great patience. In Mykonos Town the main location for taxis is in Manto Square, on the harbour front near the statue. Taxis do not use meters, but there's a notice board giving rates for each destination. Contact telephone numbers are 22400 and 23700.<br />
<u><b>By boat:</b></u> The Plati Yalos Boat Service provides a good and fun way of getting to the southern beaches of Mykonos. From Platys Gialos small fishing boats converted into tourist transport leave every hour or less to the beaches of Paranga, Paradise, Super Paradise, Agrari and Elia. From Ornos boats leave for the beaches of Platys Gialos, Paranga, Paradise, Super Paradise, Agrari and Elia. Boat services can be cancelled due to strong wind, but with the exception of Super Paradise all of these beaches can be reached by bus from Mykonos Town as well. There is also short cruises possibilities to Delos - Naxos - Paros and back in nice traditional yachts, but is need to book before. From June to September there are also infrequently boats leaving from the harbour in Mykonos Town to Super Paradise, Agrari and Elia.<br />
<u><b>By car or by motorbike:</b></u> Mykonos has an extensive public transport system from Mykonos Town. By public transport it is easy to get to all the southern beaches, which happen to be the nicest beaches as well. Renting a motorbike or a car is the way to go if you want to explore the rest of the island, especially the more remote beaches at the north coast. Motorbike and car rentals are readily available around the island. In Mykonos Town the highest concentration of rent a car - motorbike agencies is in and around the area of the southern busstation, where you will find a wide range of choices. The other area of Mykonos Town with rent a car - motorbike agencies is near to the old port, behind the Archaeological Museum.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>Go there:</b></u></span><br />
<u><b>By boat:</b></u> From the Greek mainland ferries and highspeed catamaran services run daily from Piraeus and Rafina. The highspeeds take half the time but cost twice as much. The journey between the port of Piraeus (Athens) and Mykonos takes between 3h 30min and 5h 15min, depending on the type of ferry you are taking. If you are arriving at the airport of Athens you are often better off taking a ferry from Rafina than traveling to Athens and get a ferry from Piraeus. The journey between Rafina and Mykonos takes between 2h 10min and 5h 30min, depending on the type of ferry you are taking. </div>
<u><b>By cruise ship:</b></u> Mykonos is a popular stop on cruise ship tours of the Greek Islands. Almost all cruise ships dock at the new port in Tourlos, some cruise ships use the old port, and if several ships visit at once, one or more may have to moor/anchor off-shore.<br />
<b><u>By plane:</u></b> Mykonos has an airport (IATA: JMK), about 4km away from the main town. There are daily flights from Athens airport (35 minutes). During summer have daily direct flights from Thessaloniki. In high season there are also less frequent flights from Rhodes, Santorini, Crete (Heraklion) and Volos. May till October charter airlines fly directly to Mykonos from many European airports.</div>

<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>The Hallstatt-Dachstein Salzkammergut area has been added to the UNESCO World Heritage List with the following inscription: "Human activity in the magnificent natural landscape of the Salzkammergut began in prehistoric times, with the salt deposits being exploited as early as the 2nd millennium BC. This resource formed the basis of the area’s prosperity up to the middle of the 20th century, a prosperity that is reflected in the fine architecture of the town of Hallstatt."</li>
<li>Hallstatt was the site of an early Iron Age culture from 800 to 400 BC, which is known as the Hallstatt Era. Hallstatt is considered to be the oldest still-inhabited village in Europe. </li>
<li>In addition to its ancient history, Hallstatt is spectacularly picturesque, due to its location on a narrow rocky west bank of the Hallstättersee with the sheer rising mountains behind it. Considered by some to be one of the most beautiful places on earth, Hallstatt is sometimes called "the pearl of Austria". </li>
<li>Note: during the "off season", few shops and restaurants are open, and in some periods it might even be difficult to find a place to stay. Advance reservations would help ensure acceptable accommodations and avoid a worrisome search for an open hotel.</li>

<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>To See:</b></u></span><br />
<u><b>Hallstatt Cultural Heritage Museum.</b></u> A small but interesting museum displaying 7000 years of Hallstatt history. <br />
<u><b>Beinhaus</b>.</u> "Bone House" in English. Due to the extremely limited space in the cemetery, burials are only temporary. After 10-15 years the grave is opened and the bones are removed and bleached in the sun. Then they are stacked in the Beinhaus. It's not as gruesome as it sounds. Skulls are often decorated with painted flowers and the family name. This practice was stopped in the 70's with the approval of cremation by the catholic church. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<u><b>See the town.</b></u> Simply enjoy the peace and quiet of the town. Have lunch in a cafe next to the lake and feed the swans.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<u><b><span style="font-size: large;">To Do:</span></b></u><br />
<u><b>Visit the salt caves.</b></u> Hallstatt Salt Worlds will take you into the more than 250 year old salt mines to explore its underground beauty. <br />
<u><b>Do an outing by boat.</b></u> Take a tour on the Lake of Hallstatt. <br />
<u><b>Hiking.</b></u> There are many hiking trails in the mountains behind Hallstatt and throughout the Salzkammergut area. Ask at the Tourist Information office for a good hiking map as it can be easy to get lost in the rapidly changing alpine weather. <br />
<u><b>Rock climbing.</b></u> <br />
<u><b>Children.</b></u> There is a very nice lakeside playground about 500m south of town with free WC, swimming, sunbathing, and the best views of town you'll see without going on a boat.<br />
<u><b>Ice Caves.</b></u> In Dachstein, across the lake from Hallstatt, there are caves with ice waterfalls, lakes and ponds streaming through the limestone. Be sure to bring a jacket or sweater.</div>

The <b>Banff</b> is one of the world's <b>most visited national parks</b>! Each year, millions of visitors come to Banff to marvel at the emerald
waters of <b>Lake Louise</b>, walk amongst the flower-filled heavens at
<b>Sunshine Meadows</b>, and drive beneath the towering jagged peaks lining the
<b> Icefields Parkway</b>.</div>
<a name='more'></a><b>Banff National Park</b> is <b>Canada's oldest national park</b>, established in 1885 in the <b>Rocky Mountains</b>. The park, located 110–180 km west of Calgary in the province of Alberta, encompasses 6,641 km2 of mountainous terrain, with numerous glaciers and ice fields, dense coniferous forest, and alpine landscapes. The main commercial centre of the park is the <b>town of Banff</b>, in the <b>Bow River valley</b>. Since the 1960s, park accommodations have been open all year, with annual tourism visits to Banff increasing to over 5 million in the 1990s. Millions more pass through the park on the Trans-Canada Highway.<br />

Other than the townsites of Banff and Lake Louise, and the highways that bisect the park, it is about <b>93% untouched wilderness</b>. The most dominant feature is of course the mountains, of which vistas are present from anywhere in any direction.<br />
The most common wildlife seen in the park are Bighorn Sheep, Deer, Elk, and Caribou. More elusive are the Moose, which are on a decline in population, and Mountain Goats, which are virtually undetectable on the mountainsides without a good pair of binoculars. Although sightings are rare, it is important to keep in mind the park is also home to Black and Grizzly Bears, Wolves, Coyotes, and Mountain Lions (Cougars). On the warm and fuzzier side the park is home to many Squirrels and Marmots. The occasional Porcupine and Beaver may also be found. Bird lovers will want to watch for Grouse, Bald Eagles, and the ubiquitous Canada Goose.<br />
In summer the climate is generally mild. July is the warmest month, with an average temperature of 22C. There is rarely snow at highway level in the summer, but the mountain tops will be snow covered year round. In winter the average temperature drops drastically. January is the coldest month with an average of -15C. Snow will be found at any elevation in the winter, and harsh winter conditions can be expected anywhere at any time.<br />

There are several nature trails within half an hour of Banff township. These feature wildlife, waterfalls, lakes, rivers, and mountains. Banff is located at a high latitude and thus the scenery is four-seasonal, Banff looks completely different in the winter than it does in the summer.</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">There are <b>2 Gondolas</b>, <b>Banff Gondola</b> and <b>Lake Louise Sightseeing Gondola</b>.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Sunshine Meadows</b>. For hikes amongst beautiful alpine meadows.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Interested in golfing?</b> Teeing-off amongst the backdrop of dramatic mountain ranges, with local wildlife as your gallery, is an unequalled golfing experience. Banff National Park boasts one course at The Fairmont Banff Springs. Stanley Thompson, Canada's master golf course architect, used his expert talent when he designed the original 18 holes in 1928. The course winds along the Bow River under the snow-capped peaks of Sulphur Mountain and Mount Rundle. In 1989, the course was complemented with the construction of an adjoining 9 holes, designed by Cornish and Robinson, resulting in 27 holes of championship layout.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Cave and Basin National Historic site</b>. See the birthplace of Canada's National Park system. Where hot sulphur springs were found and the original bathhouse was built in 1887. There are also a couple of short nature trails.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Banff Park Museum National Historic site</b>. Come and see all the animals you missed on your trip to Banff. They even offer guaranteed bear sightings.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Canada Place</b>. Come in and learn about the history of Canada.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Peyto Lake</b> is a scenic location on the Icefields Parkway about 40 kilometers north of the town of Lake Louise. Access to the viewing area for this magnificent area is immediately off the parkway and is well signposted. Upon climbing the short distance to the viewing point you are greeted by what many consider to be one of the best views in Canada. The lake is located in a convergence of valleys surrounded by magestic mountains and rich forests. The lake system is fed from the Peyto Glacier to the left of the view point and this gives the lake a magnificent blue colour in the summer months due to the mineral content. </li>
</ul>
