It also has a charming old town with traditional Portuguese streets and squares right in the city’s heart. The food and beverage prices here are very reasonable.

You can also easily reach nearby cities such as Loulé, with its famous market and Portuguese culture. Head north of Lagos to see the “Ponta da Piedade” with its magnificent towering red rock formations.

You can take the ferry from mainland Tanzania to Zanzibar Island for only $35. There are many luxury resorts like Tulia Zanzibar and Melia Zanzibar here which you should definitely visit if you can.

St Martin Island – Caribbean

This unique Caribbean island is half French and half Dutch, and was destroyed by Hurricane Irma. But it is now under reform. The famous Princess Juliana International Airport in St. Martin has been open since late October 2017.

Most of the island’s electricity has been restored, and many beaches, bars, restaurants and businesses have reopened. Because tourists are still afraid to take this journey, many hotels have discounted prices as well as the prices for Airbnb rentals, which are as low as $50 a night.

Naples has earned its well deserved spot as one of the most beautiful tourist destinations in the world, with many travelers rushing to see this stunning southern city. Naples is one of the oldest cities on the European continent, and it is filled with cultural sights and interesting monuments, from seaside castles to underground catacombs, showing the beautiful Baroque architecture and a large collection of contemporary art.

Surrounded by huge stone walls this beautiful city can be very hard to resist to, with its glowing charm of the old world and the city’s limestone streets, giving it a cool feeling during the hot summer days.

The houses and monuments here are well preserved and some of the best tourist attractions are the Church of St Blaise, the Sponza Palace and the Gothic Rector’s Palace. These make for an ideal trip when you visit the island along the Adriatic coast. Also, if you get a chance to visit this place you definitely don’t want to miss the beautiful medieval fortresses!
