trip icon Nesebar, Bulgaria

Jun 03, 2018 - Jul 01, 2018
Description:

Nessebar is not for nothing called the pearl of Bulgaria - this city is a true masterpiece of architecture. Nessebar is located on a rocky peninsula in the Black Sea. This is a small and surprisingly picturesque town. Nessebar belongs to the oldest cities in Europe, which has existed for at least three millennia. The old city is an example of a real miracle. Several centuries ago, the old Nessebar went under water, leaving only a small island 850 by 300 meters unburied, where all 40 churches of the city are located. A prominent representative of the history of Nessebar - "Underwater City", which is clearly visible from the boat with calm sea. The unique atmosphere has been preserved in the Old Town, thanks to the remains of medieval churches, fortress walls, and the ancient port.

trip icon 3 days in Jordan (Decapolis)

Description:

Among the most visited: well-preserved city of columns - Jerash (in the city of 2 amphitheater (North and South), 17 churches, several well-preserved ancient cobbled streets, framed by columns, which are made in different styles), as well as other cities of the Roman Decapolis (Decapolis) ; fortresses of crusaders and Mamluks; the palaces of the mayyad caliphs; a huge number of places, one way or another connected with the Old and New Testaments (Russian tourists are usually shown only the Moses memorial on Mount Nebo, on which, according to legend, the prophet first and last saw the land to which God led him for 40 long years and according to the same legend, he found his last refuge). This is an opportunity to visit the carved in the body of the Nubian sandstone Peter - the creation of the Nabataeans, which the Russian press invariably calls 'the ninth wonder of the world.' The city, or rather, what was left of it (palaces, residential buildings, steep stairs, public buildings, paved streets), makes an indelible impression. There are more than 800 various objects here, the overwhelming majority of which are entirely carved into the rock. The first settlements appeared here 4,000 years ago. Today, it is precisely Petra who seeks the overwhelming

trip icon Big Island. Hawaii

Dec 12, 2017 - Dec 19, 2017
Description:

We have visited Hawaii many times, almost all islands. But taking vacation on Big Island is first. And - it is BIG. "The island of Hawaii is the youngest and largest island in the Hawaiian chain. Nearly twice as big as all of the other Hawaiian Islands combined (hence, its nickname, “Big Island”), its sheer size is awe-inspiring. You can travel through all but four of the world's different climate zones there, ranging from Wet Tropical to Polar Tundra, a result of the shielding effect and elevations of the massive volcanoes Maunakea and Maunaloa.

Dubrovnik is a great destination , especially for budget traveler. It is only European cities whose medieval city walls have remained completely intact.

trip icon Yosemite Valley - two day trip

Aug 29, 2017 - Aug 30, 2017
Description:

One could easily spend a lifetime exploring Yosemite National Park. Like it's towering glacial-carved granite monoliths and vertigo-inducing chasms, Yosemite's wonders run broad and deep. The park's central Sierra expanse covers elevations ranging from 4,000 to over 13,000 feet and is home to some of the world's most iconic natural landmarks. One of the best places on the earth to see remnants of past ice ages at work, Yosemite offers a front-row seat to understanding how the mountains in the area were formed. But for those seeing Yosemite for the first time, or simply have finite time to explore the area, what are some of the must-see highlights for a shorter itinerary? We're glad you asked as we certainly have some recommendations. Not surprisingly, there are many! Yosemite covers a large swathe of the central Sierra Nevada mountains, stretching west to east across the range from the lower montane foothills to the lofty Sierra Crest. Geographically, the park can be thought of as having six main areas: Yosemite Valley, Hetch-Hetchy, South Rim, North Rim, Tuolumne Meadows, and the park's expansive backcountry. For this shorter itinerary we're honing in on the more accessible areas such as Yosemite Valley, the South Rim and Tuolumne Meadows. Fortunately, these areas also happen to hold some of the park's grandest sights.
