Have you ever experienced this feeling: there are a lot of countries in the world and you don’t know which one to choose and where to spend your holidays? All counties seem to be so attractive but you have to choose the only one (I don’t mean special cruises).

But today I am ready to share with you 5 top destinations for this summer (and it doesn’t mean that there are no other places to enjoy, but there you’ll feel yourself comfortable with or without your family):

HAWAII

It’s not a place, it’s – Paradise. But unfortunately, “thanks” to numerous tourists, gone are the days, when prices were cheap. But amazing white sand beaches, clear blue lagoons and friendly festive atmosphere are beyond any praises.

Parga innocent landscapes

Parga is a nice, picturesque and small town on the north-western coast of Greece. I am sure, the first time you see Parga you will like it. It is located in a sheltered bay and all its houses goes up the mountainside from seaside. So, it is surrounded by mountains and their hills are covered with olive groves. What is more, it seems that time didn’t touch Parga and it is still a very genuine Greek small town. There you can taste delicious and real Greek food. Restaurants near the beach perfectly reflect the national colour, and everything there tells us that Parga is worth a visit. There you can relax and enjoy the peace and calmness of life.

London Parliament and Big Ben, UK Love and passion… Some people don’t even dare to presuppose how important these two feelings are.Prague St.vitus cathedral

They don’t necessarily suppose each other, love is devotion, a commitment, a long-term felling, and that can make you happy even when there are no reasons to be happy. And passion – it is a ghost with love face. It is only physical love; it is a strong attraction…

I remember a situation. When I was only 15 years old, I used to fell in love with people, whom I didn’t know at all, I mean his name and appearance was the only knowledge of him. Now, it sounds ridiculous and I am glad, that today my eyes are opened wide and I exactly know how to define these to feelings and not to confuse them. But, there some situations, when you just want to lose your head from love, flirt, infatuation, to feel yourself happy and free, careless and safe and to find out – everything is possible, this feeling you can obtain visiting the following cities:

VENICE

Believe nothing can be compared with its silent sombre and at the same time so attractive waters, they are seducing you to join the invisible dance, unspoken mysteries, to become a part of their exuberant symphony. Its Canals unites the present and the past and open the doors into the future. Visit this unsurpassed place, enjoy the peace of its Canals, look at gondolas with your own eyes, and walk by the paths of ancient palazzo. Drink a cup of hot tea or cappuccino together with pigeons in Piazza San Marco or just meet a nice stranger and kiss with him on the Bridge of Sighs. Feel the atmosphere of love!

RABAT (the capital of Morocco)

The lonely wall in Morocco Marrakesh, Marokko, Mekka …Just listen to these words, they sound like a melody! Spices, jewellery, markets, scurrying about people, hot debates, half-closed faces…. Oh, I love it! East cities, what can be better! It a completely another world, full of dangers and undiscovered events, luxurious hotels and rich sheikhs, but aware, they can steal you and make a 5th wife! These people, they are dancing and singing, cooking and welcoming guests, it is to thrilling to cognize them, their culture, traditions and lifestyle! Passion can be perceived at each part of this city!

PARIS

What can be said about Paris that is still unknown to public? A lot treat it as the world’s most romantic city. Love is an integral part of it. Each brick, each person, each smile radiates it. The Eiffel Tower, it is especially beautiful in the sunset hours, you can make photos near it, touch it or just drink champagne in front of it and understand, that you are really happy. May be you will meet a newly married couple, and who knows, one day you can visit this city together with your own husband!

NEW YORK

Eiffel Tower in the fall As for me, at the first sight, it hardly can be called a romantic city, but after a thorough investigation it turns out, that a picnic in the Central Park is a rather good pastime, such cosy event among the huge mega polis. It is so touching! Than you can do shopping and while doing this meet a handsome stranger or just a beautiful liar, who will make you crazy and love, for sure, will come to your heart and soul and make them happy too!

LONDON

Sometimes it seems to me, that this city is a centre of everything: life, traditions, experience and future.

Traditionally, it is supposed, that London is grey and uncomfortable, big and alien. It is so easy to get lost in it, to merge with this city and forget who you are. So many sightseeing, so many lonely people, but usually, under cloud of night, they can gather together and spend some time while talking to each other, exchanging news and information, letting cat out of the bag and usual to England cup of tea with milk unites them and warms their souls up.

PRAGUE

Dubrovnik - Croatia Lose yourself in the beauty of this ancient town. Prague is famous for its bridges, there are a great number of them, block stone streets and roads, medieval architecture and comfortable cafes. Sometimes, it looks like a small Venice. It has a well-known watch with gnomes and the Charles Bridge, where you can meet a Prince on the white horse and he will steal you and take to his Palace. Here, you will understand – love, passion and romantic attitude is still alive!

SAINT PETERSBURG

It is a great, glorious and marvellous Russian city. It is so romantic to stay there, especially, when the nights are white and the bridges are separated. You can meet a sunset at the shore of Niva-river and enjoy the peace and calmness. Various museums and art galleries, as well as castles and palaces are waiting for you, to share their history with such a thankful and attentive visitor! Don’t keep them waiting!

BUENOS AIRES

Buenos Aires is an incredible combination of Latin America’s Culture and European cloaked in a European intelligence and soft charm. The whole Argentine is a tango country, people are dancing everywhere. Santorini, Greece This dance is first of all a passion, love, infatuation. It is full of unexpressed desire, invisible hints and body language. It is no better place, to feel yourself beloved and to get acquainted with a sexy stranger, who is dancing next to you!

DUBROVNIK, Croatia

Adriatic has many “pearls”, but the city of Dubrovnik is the most significant. It can compete even with the acknowledged romantic cities, such as Paris and Venice. It is situated in Croatia and has a status and fame of the coastal resort. Blue, clear waters of Adriatic, limestone precipices and attractive old marble-paved streets together with antique churches, squares and castles leaves no chance to withstand their beauty. Be sure, even if romantic is an empty sound for you, this city will make you change your mind!

SANTORINI, Greece

Santorini is the only island in this list. An Island, whenever you will look, there will be blue, clear waters, black-sand beaches and coastal villages. Here you can remember about the lost city – Atlantis, have a look at incredible sights of the volcanic eruption, drink exotic cocktails and enjoy life as it is!

Seven Wonders of the World

Seven Wonders! Yes, exactly so! Wonders! It was my dream to visit and see them with my own eyes! And it came true! I mean my dream came OldSevenWondersOfTheWorldtrue! I saw six of them on pictures and the only one, that still exists I saw in reality. Of course, I am talking about the Great Pyramids of Giza.

Recently, I found out that notion “wonders” is of Greek origin “theamata” and means more “must-sees”, but not wonders! Today we have seven wonders and this list came to us from the time immemorial! It was fulfilled in the Middle Ages— unfortunately, only one Wonder still exists in our world! This list contains information and data mostly from old Greek writings, and, it goes without saying, it has only places that ancient Greeks were acquainted with. There were a lot of attempts to change this list, in this situation we can even deal with two types of travel wonders (man-made and natural). But, to put it short, they still exist, so, let’s have a closer look at them!

Great Pyramid of Giza! It was constructed by Egyptians in 2650-2500 BC. Originally it was a tomb for Pharaohs. To tell the truth, there are 112 pyramids and only 9 of them are woman. The biggest pyramid is called Khufu’s Pyramid or the Pyramid of Khufu.

Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Time of their erecting 600 BC. Babylonians build them and they stand till the 1st century BC. Then came a sudden earthquake and it completely destroyed this wonder! By the way, just imagine exotic fruits and trees, marvellous flowers and nature, bewildering beauty, birds and butterflies flying around.., An idyllic picture, yeah? Some historians do believe, these gardens have never existed!

Temple of Artemis at Ephesus. This Temple was built in 550 BC by three nations. It was built as a dedication and proof of faith to the Greek goddess Artemis. It was building for long 120 years and destroyed by in a eye blink fire in 356 BC. According, to historians it was magnificent and haughty! But, nothing is sacred to greedy and mean people! Herostratus set this Temple on fire!

Statue of Zeus at Olympia was constructed in 435 BC by Greeks. It was a rather high statue – 12 metres or 40 feet tall! But, again, it’s existence didn’t last long – in 5th or 6th AD it was ruined by Christianity supporters!

Mausoleum of Halicarnassus. Time of its appearance – 351 BC. Actually, it gave birth to a new term “mausoleum”. This building was high and beautifully decorated, but earthquake changed everything in 1494 AD.

Colossus of Rhodes was erected in 292-280 BC. Now it can be compared with Statue of Liberty (as to its size). This was a statue of the Greek God, named Helios (the God of the Sun). Earthquake decided that this statue has no right for existing!

And the last one, Lighthouse of Alexandria. Time of construction 3rd century BC. It was 180 metres high and till the 14th century considered to be the tallest building of the world! Again earthquake didn’t have mercy on this building!
