Turkey

Last year I've become a fan of the resort Antalya (Turkye). I think here you can find the best hotels for a reasonable amount of money. It's quiet, nice, clean. The food is excellent, and it doesn't rain. :D

Extravagant

If you are a traveler, you have enough money and you haven't seen Florida until now I recommend you an extravagant trip with luxury yacht charters. After such a cruise you will love the ocean even if you have sea-sick. Enjoy!

Maramures Region

One of the most visited region in Romania is Maramures. It is attractive to the tourists because the popular traditions are still alive in this part of the country and the religious events are really special here. The region is situatted in a valley enclosed by mountains. The area is forested, and pretty inaccessible. The main attractions here are: Merry Cemetery from Sapanta, Borsa Ski Slope and Mogosa Ski Slope.

The Merry Cemetry "is famous for its colourful tombstones with native paintings describing, in a an original and poetic manner, the persons that are buried there as well as scenes from their lives." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merry_Cemetery). Some photos of Sapanta Merry Cemetry can be foun at Govoyage - Cimitirul Vesel . Photos of Borsa Ski Slope and photos from Mogosa can be seen at Govoyage - Partia Borsa and Govoyage - Martia Mogosa.
