Many people are stirring crazy after the enforced lockdown in their area. Anyone who is used to at least one annual holiday per year will recognize the frustration. The minute the restrictions are relaxed, multitudes are online, researching, and choosing their next holiday. Perhaps this is you, and you need a few helpful suggestions. Let’s look at seven famous options right now.
1. The Maldives
Lovers of snorkeling in clear blue water will feel automatically drawn to the Maldives for their holidays. Tourists will also be excited to learn that the White Whale submarine enables visitors to view over one thousand different types of underwater life. Among the most famous destinations are the Banana Reef and Fishhead.
Some of the world’s finest hotels are to be found in the Maldives. According to the professionals at this website, people are searching online for rated developments and refurbishments. They also seek luxury villas that contain thoughtful extras, delicious food, and perfectly mixed drinks.
2. Istanbul, Turkey
This is a place that defies definition. Is it a Christian, Jewish, or Muslim nation? It is all of these. Is the culture western or eastern? The answer is both!
There are many architectural masterpieces to be discovered in Istanbul, including the Turkish baths. Alongside that, there are many local delicacies to taste and discover. Local communities keep multitudes of stray cats alive. It is a joint rather than individual effort and has much to teach other nations.
3. Phuket, Thailand
Anyone longing for beautiful beaches with high cliffs and waterfalls will be tempted to visit Phuket. Tourists are able to visit the many Buddhist temples and to observe the colonial and Chinese heritage.
Why not visit Koh Ta-Pu, which was a location used for the filming of James Bond’s film: ‘The Man With The Golden Gun’? Alternatively, visit Koh Panyee, which is a Muslim fishing village. What makes it literally stand out is that every building was made on stilts.
4. Crete, Greece
The Greek islands always come to mind when it comes to holidays with blue water, clear skies, and plenty of sunshine. Of these islands, Crete is the largest.
The Samaria Gorge is an incredible feature, being Europe’s longest gorge. History fans will enjoy visiting the local castles, including the Fortezza. It’s also well worth visiting the archaeological museum of Heraklion – in fact, it is the single most popular historical attraction here. One famous artifact that it contains is the Phaistos Disc which displays symbols that are still undeciphered to this day.
5. Rome, Italy
This is the center of the Catholic church and the home of the Pope. People can visit the Vatican City where the Sistine Chapel is located. Lovers of the art of Michelangelo will not be disappointed. There are many churches that will be of interest to visitors too.
There are a lot of areas of historical as well as religious interest in Rome. Consider visiting the many fountains, including the Trevi Fountain, that dates back to the renaissance and baroque time periods. In terms of historical ruins, there’s Nero’s Domus Aurea, Palatine Hill, and of course the Colosseum.
6. London, England
There are so many things to see and do here that people will want to stay for days. Imagine visiting the many theatres in the evening, and the world-famous art galleries during the day. People who want an aerial view of the River Thames can book a capsule on the London Eye. The Shard is a unique and very tall building that allows people to eat, drink, and observe London all at the same time.
Why not book a boat trip down the River Thames, receiving a guided tour whilst enjoying a tasty meal? Alternatively, visit the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, or visit the Queen’s home at Buckingham Palace.
7. Paris, France
The Eiffel Tower is a globally recognized landmark. It’s a huge wrought-iron construction containing viewing galleries and places to eat. Other major landmarks are located in Paris, too. There’s Notre Dame (‘Our Lady’) where Napoleon was crowned and the Arc de Triomphe. The latter was commissioned to be built in 1806 after a political victory and was completed in 1836.
Lovers of art will be able to enjoy viewing world-famous pictures by such people as Monet and Manet, Degas and Van Gogh, or Renoir.
These have been just seven suggestions. Write a list of the things that would create your perfect holiday. It may be sunny beaches or sports activities. Perhaps the historical aspect appeals more. Whether the decision is made to visit the Maldives, Turkey, Thailand, Greece, Rome, England, or France, the popularity of such locations speak for themselves – and enjoyment is guaranteed.
