Joshua Tree National Park is where the Mojave meets the Colorado desert, an otherworldly crossroads where two contrasting landscapes merge into something truly unique. Named for its quirky, twisted Joshua trees, the park is a wonderland of rugged rock formations, open desert vistas, and breathtaking night skies perfect for stargazing. Beyond the trees, you’ll find a mix of desert ecosystems, each with its own plants, wildlife, and scenic trails. Hidden Valley is a popular spot for beginner hikers, while those looking for a bit of a climb can tackle the boulders at Barker Dam. For the best views, take a drive up to Keys View, where, on a clear day, you can see the Salton Sea and even as far as Mexico.

Bergdala is the only glassworks that still has a blowing room made entirely of wood. Visitors are welcome in to experience the genuine blowing room environment. Here, the beloved classic 'Blå Kant' (clear glass with the blue edge at the top) is manufactured, along with new designs by young designers. As a visitor, you're welcome to step inside and experience the authentic glassworks environment, and enjoy the spectacle of craftsmen shaping molten glass. Adjacent to the studio, you'll find the shop, where you can buy a range of art glass, Bergdala's traditional products, and new items at factory prices.

This 13th century Byzantine chapel in the centre of Paralimni, built using local limestone, is dedicated to Mother Mary, but it is referred to as Agia Anna, a name that was given to it when it was restored. The original chapel was decorated with frescoes, which were tragically destroyed and only some remnants betray their previous existence. The chapel now serves as an ecclesiastical museum where icons of the 16th and 19th centuries, holy relics and old books are exhibited.
