On the coast of Northern Ireland you can see something that will stop the viewer in half a step, opening his mouth in surprise. The basalt columns placed tightly next to each other create a landscape straight from SF movies from the 1980s. Anyone who watched "The Golden Child" with Eddie Murphy will know what we're talking about. There is a very original rock formation in the Irish county of Antrim. It is called the Giant's Causeway, or the Way of the Giants. Situated among the scenery of cliffs, it has fascinated artists for centuries not only with the number of columns it consists of (over 35,000), but also with the shape they formed. They froze in this form about 50-60 million years ago, and their formation is explained by the blow cracks that arose during the period of lava solidification.

The resort of Bol, located on the southern shore of the island of Brač, has been known to surfers since the beginning of the 1970s. For many of them it is a favorite place for windsurfing, just as the local beach is the queen of the beaches of the entire coast. Probably not everyone knows that the marble that was used to build the White House came to the United States from across the ocean - from the Croatian island of Brač. The third largest Adriatic island has been known for its mining for years, but it owes its fame not only to the valuable building material.

The Philippines is slowly ceasing to be a distant exoticism unattainable for mortals. More and more often you can hear about a friend or acquaintance of a friend who went there. Only a few years ago, Thailand was treated like this, which today is an attractive and at the same time more and more accessible destination. One of the Filipino islets where tourism reaches, but still hasn't turned into a commercial one, is Palawan. It is called the pearl of the Philippines and it is by no means an exaggeration, because we will see landscapes on it as if from a fairy tale or from a garden of paradise. That's not all - it is here on the island of Palawan that the world's largest pearl was discovered. It took place in 1934, and the pearl was, in fact, 6.4 kg.

According to Greek mythology, the nymph Aegina was forced by Zeus to become one of his lovers. The debauched god kidnapped her to the island of Ojnone, where she bore him a son. Years later, Ajakos returned to the island and named it after his mother. The most beautiful Greek island, which probably no one has heard of yet - this is how The Huffington Post website called Aegina. In fact, despite all its charm, it is not as popular with tourists as it could. Although that does not absolutely mean that it is not popular. Not at all. Vacationers often visit her during their stay in Athens, which is only a short distance away. A large percentage of people who come to Aegina want to spend the weekend or more time calmly, enjoying the lack of crowds and intimacy.

According to legends, Jason swam with his team to the shores of Lošinj in search of the golden fleece. The island delighted their contemporaries and still delights them today, especially for water sports enthusiasts. And dolphins. Whether in winter or hot summer, the Croatian island of Lošinj cannot complain about the lack of interest from tourists from various places in Europe. Its heart is Mali Lošinj - despite its name, the largest city on the island. It is well connected with other towns on Lošinj, as well as with the neighboring island of Cres. It is located in Augusta Bay, and thanks to its location it is an ideal starting point for tourists who want to explore all the attractive points of the area.

In summer, Vieste turns into the holiday capital of Apulia. This region of Italy tempts with a large number of campsites, golden beaches, white limestone rocks and the greenery of Foresta Umbra, which soothes and brings coolness. On the mountainous Gargano peninsula, in the Italian province of Foggia, lies Vieste, a resort named after the goddess of the hearth. In this region, Vesta had a special affection for the people of ancient Rome. Nowadays, the city spread over limestone rocks is not as quiet as one might suppose when you think about the patroness of a quiet, well-organized life, nevertheless families with children love to rest here.

What is Denmark's youngest city, Aarhus, associated with? With the Tivoli Friheden amusement park, with beers from local breweries, with dozens of shops and boutiques, and with numerous festivals and crowds of young people on the streets.

In Norway, it can be not only beautiful and clean, but also warm and sunny - and that's for sure in Sandefjord. The whaling town in the south is one of the sunniest places in the country of the Northern Lights. The north of Europe can boast many advantages when it comes to tourism, but the number of sunny days is certainly not one of them. As a result, cities with more sun than their neighbors are very popular, even if they do not have many monuments. Such a place is Sandefjord, a young city famous for being the whaling capital of Norway. Some tourists, somewhat unfairly, do not give him a chance to get to know each other, treating the resort only as a transfer point to Oslo (Oslo-Torp airport) or Sweden (ferry to Stromstad). Meanwhile, you can spend a very nice day walking the streets of Sandefjord. The city is neat and pretty, and its surroundings are also attractive. It is called "Norwegian Sopot" for a reason.

Standing at the top of Borobudur and gazing at the horizon visible from behind the stupas, we can feel a strange longing in our hearts. This is where time stops, the air slows down, and the mind clears. We are in the Buddha sanctuary. Wouldn't it be beautiful if the recipe for happiness was to touch a statue's heel or toe? Just touch it lightly and make a mental wish to change your life. Apparently, on the hill temple called Borobudur, there is a Buddha figure that brings happiness to those who touch it. In the case of men, attention should be directed to the toe of the statue, and women should touch the heel of the prophet.

For Popeye, a good sip of canned spinach worked like blueberry gum on a gummy beast or a magic drink for the Gauls. It replaced him with months of the gym in seconds. 85 years have passed since the birth of a somewhat crazy sailor, but he still has vigor. Let's visit him in Malta!. Gone are the days when spinach was associated with a childhood nightmare. Today, no one is being forced to do it - quite the contrary. It is recommended for people who have problems with the pancreas, hypertension and constipation. It has an anti-cancer effect, it is also used by people who want to increase their muscles. There was a reason why the muscular sailor Popeye encouraged people to eat the green vegetable - and it is about him, not about spinach, that this story will be about.

At first, you might think that Goreme is a bit more complex Meteors. However, Greek monasteries carved into the rocks are by no means comparable to the Turkish open-air museum - both in terms of nature and history. Located in the central part of Turkey, the Goreme Historical National Park (Göreme Açık Hava Müzesi) is the pearl of Cappadocia, hidden in its very heart. It is situated in a beautiful valley that is proof of the genius and simplicity of nature at the same time. The park hides over 350 temples and chapels hidden in the rocks. Some are associated with the landscape on the lunar surface, others - with the work of millions of termites. There is hardly a man who would not be impressed by the sight of him. Goreme's beauty made the park a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985.
