Tirana, Albania

Although the young generation is taking pride in its fast development, modernization of the quarters and vivid nightlife, Albania’s capital is still relatively young. The city was declared the capital in order to easily bring together and connect the north and south of the country. The city began to grow and prosper between the two world wars, during the kingdom of King Zog and was finally finished by Enver Hoxha.
Nesebar, Bulgaria
The largest and most popular Bulgarian resort, Sunny Beach, is situated on an 8 kilometer long stretch of dreamy beach, with more than 200 state of the art hotels, many water parks, spa centers and clubs. A small train connects the resort to Nesebar, a gorgeous ancient city at the foot of the Bulgarian Black sea. The town is listed a UNESCO world heritage site but it’s greatest appeal is the combination of the medieval architecture surround completely by water only connected to the mainland with a train track and adjoined sidewalk and beyond it the vivid beach life.

It is also quite the destination for a lovers getaway, so make sure you go with the right company.
Kotor, Montenegro
In the heart of Boka Bay, right at the foot of Lovćen mountain, you’ll find the beautiful city of Kotor.

The island is less than two hours drive west of Copenhagen and it can be easily reached by train, boat or car. This place will sure take you back to a different time, far beyond modern life.
Tallinn, Estonia
Tallinn is a refreshing blend of medieval and modern. It’s home to what is perhaps the best preserved ancient city in Europe, with its ancient walls, cobbled alleys and towers. Walking around the old city you can really sense the legacy of the 850-year history, during which the city was ruled by the Danes, Swedes, Germans and Russians.
The city is part of the Baltic nations although locals consider themselves part of the Nord countries, and the city itself is a vivid combination of both.
Gibraltar
Although located in the south of Spain and bordering Andalusia, the beautiful Gibraltar region and town is in fact a part of British territory. Tourists may come from nearby Andalusian cities yet some only stop in this lovely pathway to continue on to Morocco, Africa.
Day-tours to Gibraltar from Marbella cost around 70 to 90 Euros. These tours generally include travel, lunch in a Berber restaurant, and a tour of the cave of St. Michael and the remarkable Rock of Gibraltar which rises high above the city and gives it it’s appealing nature.
Gibraltar’s most famous residents are certainly Barbary apes. There are approximately 160 of them, but it seems like there are many more because they can be found everywhere and at all times.
Rovinj, Croatia
Rovinj is definitely one of the most beautiful cities in Croatia, situated on the western coast of the Istrian Peninsula. Here you can see historical monuments from the Illyrian, Venetian and Roman times. Make sure to visit the church of St. Euphemia and its adjacent bell tower, as well as the bay Palud and the Romuald cave located on the southern side of the Lim canal.
Andalusia, Spain
When you ask yourself what to see in Spain, Andalusia is the right answer!Spaniards describe the beautiful Andalusia as having unexplainable mysterious power. It is the birthplace of the cultural tradition which influenced the whole of Spain. The first steps of flamenco were danced right here, by Andalusia’s Gypsies, and the first bullfights were held in Andalusia’s city of Rhodes. Even the tapas, the tasty Spanish appetizers that are on every restaurant’s menu, were first made in Andalusia in the 19th century.
