Sozopol, one of Bulgaria’s oldest towns, lies 35 kilometres south of Burgas and is easily accessible within an hour’s drive. Divided into the Old Town and New Town, it offers a charming atmosphere with cobbled streets, Greek (and Greek-inspired) architecture, and traditional Black Sea Revival-style houses. The Old Town is basically a museum-reserve, featuring over 180 historic homes, art galleries, and the archaeological museum, which houses relics of Saint John the Baptist. Beyond its historical heritage, the town is known for its beaches, architecture, and the annual Apollonia Arts and Film Festival in early September. Sozopol’s rich history, dating back 7,000 years, blends with its modern cultural scene, making it a standout destination for a day trip.

Peru's oldest and largest museum houses nearly 300,000 artefacts covering the country's pre-Hispanic and colonial past until the early Republican days. Guided tours can be booked in Spanish, English and Italian. If you are into history and culture, this place will provide you with an impressive learning experience.

Located a short drive or shuttle trip from downtown Steamboat Springs, the hot springs offer a unique experience with their thermal pools and stone masonry. Open year-round, with overnight lodging rentals and access to hiking, biking, and snowshoeing trails. Reservations are highly recommended. To make the most of your visit to Strawberry Park Natural Hot Springs, wear your swimsuit under your clothes and bring a robe.

If you’d rather keep your feet dry, consider taking a glass-bottom or semi-submersible boat to view the vibrant tropical fish and stunning corals. For those seeking more active water fun, windsurfing, sailing, catamarans, and kayaking are excellent choices. Muri Lagoon on Rarotonga is particularly popular for sailing activities. Additionally, both Rarotonga and Aitutaki offer numerous hire facilities where you can rent all the necessary equipment for these exciting water sports.
