Beaches and history at Cyprus
Although many people know Cyprus only for its all-inclusive hotels and relaxing waterfronts, it can actually offer a lot more. It is a perfect choice if you like to unwind at a beach, but we also recommend it to those who prefer historical sightseeing. May it be Larnaca, the oldest city of the country or Paphos, known for its thousands-year-old, ancient ruins, the architecture and museums of Cyprus offer a plethora of local attractions. The main sights of Larnaca are the famous Saint Lazarus church and the ancient fortress of Kition, while in Paphos you should definitely check out the archaeological findings of the world-famous mosaics and the nearby villas, the tombs of kings along the seashore and the Byzantine churches dating back thousands of years.
Marseille, the gateway to Provance
Marseille will surely not disappoint those who prefer hiking and sightseeing. The second biggest city of France is a seaport founded around 600 BC. In Marseille, you can marvel at numerous sights besides the world’s fifth largest port, such as Château d’If featured in The Count of Monte Cristo, the Neo-Byzantine Notre Dame de la Garde basilica, but you can also chill at Parc Borély or visit movie locations based on the scenes of the Taxi film series, for example. The second biggest city of Europe provides delicious opportunities for gastro enthusiasts as well: a range of cozy bars, bookshops and cafés welcome people seeking delicacies in the Le Cours Julien district.
What is ‘best’ this context is highly subjective. The gaudiness of Dubai, for instance, might appeal to some but is a complete turn off for others. I have noticed that the headlines in the DNH are becoming increasingly ludicrous.
