Rick Blaine and Ilsa Lund, are two persons which seems that they have found their lost souls, but it only seems like this. Watch the movie and you can dive into the unique historical atmosphere in the U.S. during the war period. Moreover, the name of the film is inspired by the city of Casablanca in Morocco, which actually plays a major role in the movie.

~ The Australian Paradise - Whitsunday Island ~
« Reply #31 on: August 05, 2014, 07:36:05 PM »
The Australian Paradise - Whitsunday Island

The Australian paradise coasts are edged by places, where you can unleash your spiritual ego and romantic emotions, but to choose the right place for your romantic getaways is sometimes a bit more challenging. From one of the world's most mysterious islands, to the world's greatest barrier reefs and some of the world's most beautiful coastal megalopolises - there are lots of irresistible romantic places along the coasts of Australia, yet it comes to a whole continent. However, there is one special place around the northeastern coast of the continent, where you can capture an unsurpassed essence of true romance. Transport yourselves to the Australian paradise - Whitsunday Island, and you will need only 0.01 seconds to forget about everything else.



Everything on this island is made for romance. The loveliest formations of the exotic nature are blended together to create a flawless concept for romantic getaways. From a unique location along the mainland of Australia, to truly unrivaled exotic scenery - you may even think that you have found your own heavenly seclusion. A distance of only dozen kilometers from the mainland offers a fast and easy access to your Australian paradise, while the best thing is that Whitsunday Island is the largest island of a group of islands with the same name. Therefore you can take advantage of almost countless places and romantic amusements to enjoy with your beloved. This island is completely undeveloped and it is covered by lush exotic jungles. The terrain is mostly mountainous, which means another endless portion of high panoramic vistas and secluded romantic spots. And that's only on the island itself. The coastline looks like a romantic watery wonderland, because it is edged by steep cliffs with lush green vegetation and some tiny pebbly beaches. The eastern coast of Whitsunday Island makes a huge exception, but first - take a look at another fabulous natural wonder - the waters. It comes to crystal clear and warm turquoise waters of the ocean, which are encircled by pristine shallow bays and coves. Moreover, at the northern coast of Whitsunday is situated a gigantic inlet of a river with a multitude of winding fairways, white colours and blue nuances. The green exotic trees embrace the entire inlet with a truly refreshing factor, while the vistas at sunrise can make you think that you are in a fairytale. That's why Whitsunday Island is the romantic paradise of Australia and, plus, it is easily accessible. There are no marinas, ports or harbours. Instead, the pristine coves, shallow bays and small rocky peninsulas help you to take a pick of the vast array of romantic spots for boating. Another tempting way to get to Whitsunday Island is via connecting flight from the nearby Hamilton Island. It is situated at only about a couple of kilometers distance from the southern coast of Whitsunday, as well as quite smaller and developed. A large marina also offers a perfect fit to begin a romantic boat trip.



Whitsunday Island is completely   undeveloped and inhabited, and so the only places to overnight are a few campsites.  Well, if you plan longer romantic getaways to the Australian paradise - then, on Hamilton   Island you can also take advantage of a multitude of romantic places to stay. From beach villas, to private bungalows hidden within green tropical settings and exquisite hotels - there  is a perfect choice for your taste and style. A villa high atop the green-topped mountains with a perfect view of the sea might always be your romantic seduction for the weekend. But even a whole Sunday might be insufficient to explore the natural beauty of Hamilton Island, not to mention that Whitsunday Island is quite larger. There is only a short boat trip distance between these two slices of a natural paradise, but when you witness the cozy and romantic atmosphere of your private sea front villa you will fall in love with the vistas even during the blink of the eye. The panoramic vistas of the blue sea magically melt into the azure sky, while its countless formless white clouds can make you dream of love. Some villas offer plenty of luxury amenities and pleasures such as huge outdoor swimming pools, pool-bars, massage pavilions, lounge chairs and herb-scented gardens with tall green palm trees. The vistas of the pool's calm waters that look like they drop down into the endless blue horizon of the sea are also awesome, while the vistas of the Empire style furniture in your room are captivating. The vistas from the balcony of your terrace invite a unique exotic ease and tropical romance, while another romantic attraction is to wake up on Hamilton Island with the first rays of the sunrise.



After your magical awakening, a great idea is to continue the day of your romantic getaways along the coasts of Whitsunday Island. The striking natural vistas are a permanent part of the entire romantic atmosphere on the island, while a game of colours is a real bliss for the eyes. For instance, enjoy a boat trip to a remote pristine bay and stop for a while. The green jungles that begin right behind the waves can make you forget about the place and time in which you are, and so another great idea is to stay for a bit longer. This is also one of the most private and secluded ways to enjoy a romance with your beloved, because some of the coves are small and hidden, and so you will often have them only for yourselves, unless you are seduced by the exotic freshness of the green colours to explore the jungles. Stop your boat at the nearest pebbly shore and explore the true green scenery of Whitsunday Island. The green slopes look like romantic beacons, while during a hiking exploration you can also enjoy some of the highest vistas on the island. Encompassing bird watching and wildlife photographing are tempting romantic pastimes, while picnicking below the shadow of the huge tropical trees would be a truly invigorating romantic event. Then, follow the paths that can take you to the top of the mountains and enjoy the panoramic vistas of the coast with tis numerous pristine bays, clear turquoise waters, hidden sandy beaches...



Exactly the beaches on the island are the  next romantic spot in your getaways. There   is no a multitude of beaches to choose from,  but there is one huge, fine and white sandy beach that makes Whitsunday Island a   world-renowned destination for romantic vacations. It comes to Whitehaven beach, which stretches over 5 kilometers along the eastern coast of the island. It is covered by  so fine white sands that they look like a mist that melts into the turquoise shallow waters   of the sea. The spacious coastal area offers tempting settings to land with a sea plane, while even this is one of the most tempting ways to get to the island. Whitehaven beach is the beach that makes the island an unsurpassed Australian paradise. You can choose from a huge and straight stretch of white sandy beach for your romantic leisure, while the coastal shallow waters are also best for boating, swimming, snorkeling and plenty of other wet attractions. Even to put your feet in the waves and walk along the beach is sometimes the most romantic attraction to enjoy.



The experience is quite more enchanting when you put your feet in the warm waves and walk along the beach at sunset or sunrise. The golden sunshine rays bath the entire scenery with a romantic glow, while the coastal refreshing breeze alters the entire atmosphere with lots of energy. The sunset, for example, is a perfect time to enjoy the last rays of the sun's rays that drop behind the lush green-topped mountains on the island. By contrast, the sunrise offers unique vistas to enjoy the serenity of the blue horizon of the sea, stretching as far as the eye can see. This is a magical way to begin a new day in your romantic vacation, while the dark silhouettes of the distant islands interrupt the golden scenery with truly gorgeous shapes and vibrant colours.


         This is it the island of Whitsunday - an endless collection of romantic vistas, romantic sensations, romantic pastimes, romantic inspirations, almost everything is romantic. Of course, the summer adventures in the water, below the surface of the water and high atop the green mountain peaks are quite challenging and breathtaking, but they are also somehow irresistibly romantic. Enjoy the Australian paradise - Whitsunday Island, and transform your romantic getaways into an unforgettable exotic experience with your beloved. This piece of a natural paradise has it all and even it looks like a truly beautiful romantic playground.

~ A Fantastic Holiday For You And Your Love One - Lefkada, Greece ~
« Reply #33 on: August 05, 2014, 07:42:49 PM »
A Fantastic Holiday For You And Your Love One - Lefkada, Greece

One of the most beautiful mountain jewels of Greece is situated just of the westernmost coast of this yet beautiful country. There, you can actually find a wide variety of green mountain jewels, which are simply called islands, but there is also one quite more special island. It offers a perfect fit to escape from your everyday life and enjoy a fantastic holiday for you and your loved one - Lefkada, Greece. From a unique location in Ionian Sea, to an abundance of striking romantic vistas and a flawless lovely hospitality - this island looks like it is made out of romance. That's why it is dedicated to your romantic getaways in an absolute exotic heaven, and you will need only 0.01 seconds after your arrival for an absolute self-indulgence.



Lefkada Island is picturesquely located along the northwestern coast of Greece, where the crystal blue waters of Ionian Sea meet the dramatic mountains of the mainland. The island looks like a natural extension of a huge peninsula, but it is separated from the mainland via huge water passage, as well as other small bodies of water. As soon as you arrive on the island you can immerse in the awesome mountain scenery, which dominates the entire skyline. The irregular coastline of the island is dotted by numerous natural formations, which look more likely unique natural phenomena. From rocky and almost vertical cliffs that drop down into the crashing waves, to long stretches of fine sandy beaches that act like natural barriers between the mountains and the sea - Lefkada Island is unique. Its unique location also offers a unique climate, which can pamper your mind and senses with a truly refreshing coastal breeze, as well as humid Mediterranean winds and lots of caressing sunshine. The last one is quite more caressing and pampering during the hottest summer days, when the temperature of the water is a bit cooler, than the air temperature, and so the romantic paradise can be found everywhere - on land, as well as in the water. And so appear the two greatest advantages of Lefkada Island - its unsurpassed mountain scenery and an awesome beach experience. That's why this rocky slice of a natural paradise is such an irresistible destination for romantic holidays. For example, let's take a look at a place, which features mountains and beaches at once - Porto Katsiki Beach. It is located along the very southern portion on the island, along the western coast of a tiny mountainous peninsula, which scenically stretches into the warm waters of the sea. Porto Katsiki Beach is perhaps the most beautiful place to enjoy this magical conjunction of mountains, beaches and waters. It features over 200 meters tall vertical cliffs, which are topped by green vegetation and plenty of panoramic observation spots. The colours of the sea vary from blue and azure, to turquoise, while the tiny sparkling waves are just white. They are these waves that are edged by the warm sands of the iconic beach, while the vistas from atop the vertical cliffs are just breathtaking and romantic.



Lefkada Island is also famous for an  awesome romantic hospitality, thanks to its numerous resort villages and big historical towns. Most of them are spread all along the eastern coast of the island, where are also situated most of the crystal clear bays. Lefkada Town is the major town and seaport on the island, as well as offers a connection with the mainland via land. Yes, there is a  long roadway that crosses over the tiny stretch of water between the northern coast  of the island and the mainland of Greece. This means that you can escape for a truly fantastic holiday even for a day or a couple  of days, for the weekend maybe. This roadway also offers a fast and easy access with an airport on the mainland, which might seduce to begin your holiday even from the air. At last, but not at least, Lefkada Town is edged by a huge port and so a romantic boat trip is a truly appealing choice to arrive on the island as well. No matter your choice - you and your loved one can take full advantage of a unique location of this island, as well as escape fast and easy for your heavenly secluded romance. A boat trip or a ferry connection with the most of the villages along the eastern coast of the island can take you to some of the most beautiful places on Lefkada. These places are actually the small villages, historical towns and sea resorts, which provide all your comforts to stay, dine, relax and unwind. An abundance of romantic accommodations with spectacular panoramic vistas and modern amenities will seduce to stay for a quite longer vacation and enjoy a magical romantic experience. From cozy cafeterias and elegant restaurants in the big city of Nidri, to plenty of pristine and tranquil bay-front causeways in the smaller villages - the urban areas on the island are just magical. The entire magic of Lefkada is enhanced by its historical atmosphere, because the iconic historical landmarks are actually some of the most romantic sights to explore while strolling around the cities. Churches, monuments, old houses and narrow stone streets - the coastal cities and their numerous historical landmarks can take you to a truly long romantic adventure within the centuries.



But don't let yourself completely into the tempting historical charm of Lefkada, because this island is also blessed with plenty of striking mountain landmarks. Indeed, almost the entire island is covered by mountains. They are best for an array of romantic outdoor activities such as picnicking. What about a romantic picnic nearby a waterfall, which is nestled between lush green forests and serene mountain trails? Picnicking is one of the best ways to escape from the urban atmosphere and enjoy only the romantic sounds of the nature. The sound of the sparkling waterfall, the singing of the countless birds, the sound of the wind that passes through the leaves of the trees... What about hiking? This should also be a unique romantic adventure, especially if you hike to the top of the tallest mountain peaks that feature a height of about 1,000 meters above the sea. Enjoy the panoramic vistas; enjoy the peaceful scenery and the private moments with your beloved; and dream of love!



Or, enjoy some beach experience. The best beaches offer a bunch of unforgettable romantic memories, especially if you enjoy them at sunset. Except for the unparalleled mountain scenery of Porto Katsiki Beach, there are numerous beaches which dot all along the western coast of the island. Some of them stretch for a few kilometers, while others are hidden between rugged green-topped cliffs. But they all are romantic and they are made by the nature. Find the  perfect beach to share with your beloved   and put your feet in the waves. Enjoy the infinite blue horizon of the sea that  showcases the true meaning of the infinity and the cozy  touch of the golden sun's rays. Another magical amusement is to watch your footprints on the sand, which become invisible as soon as the waves pass around. It's just magically romantic. Lying on the yet warm sands with your beloved is also a perfect choice to find the finest natural massage for your body and senses, as well as be captivated by the last rays of the sunset. Meanwhile, what about making a sand castle?



Another great idea is to enjoy the beaches on the island right in the middle of the day, when the air temperature rises to over 30 degrees Celsius, especially in the mid-summer. Egremni Beach is one of the most tempting beaches on the island and it is situated only about a half hour's drive south from the capital. This beach is bathed by the crystal turquoise waters of the sea, while the options for sunbathing are fantastic. Everything on the beach is fantastic, but you will be seduced by the waves to put your feet in the sea and then indulge completely yourselves in the sea. Enjoy the water's romantic qualities, as well as collection of wet amusements with your beloved and then, when you get back on the sand, you can take full advantage of the sea breeze, which offers a permanent sense of refreshment.

            Briefly - Lefkada Island is an idyllic island. It has it all - from giant mountains, to white sandy beaches and picturesque historical cities, while everything can be enhanced to a truly unforgettable experience only during your romantic getaways with your beloved. Enjoy a fantastic holiday for you and your loved one - Lefkada, Greece, and fulfill your imagination with a wealth of romantic memories, sunny emotions and colourful vistas.

Romantic Destination - Island Rab, Croatia

When you search for the finest recipe for your romantic getaways outside the big city or just to escape from your everyday life - the coastline of Croatia features a multitude of unique romantic places for you. It comes to hundreds of islands and tiny islets, where you and your beloved can take full advantage of an absolute serenity, privacy and countless romantic moments. Enjoy one of the largest islands and perhaps the most romantic destination - Island Rab, Croatia, and you can find the most unforgettable recipe for your getaways in a romantic heaven. The romance begins even from your arrival on the island, because it features a unique location along the Dalmatian coast.



It is located along the northern portion of the Dalmatian coast and it is also one of the largest Dalmatian islands. Rab is so huge and different that it has it all - from gorgeous sandy beaches, to steep and rugged mountain peaks. A complex of roadways stretches all over the area and so you can easily get to all your own lovely romantic places. Meanwhile, the big modern cities are also almost everywhere, except for the southernmost portion, where is situated a gigantic green oak forest. The northeastern coast is covered by a completely different terrain - the nearly 350 meters tall mountains, which act as a natural barrier of the panoramic vistas. Overall, the unique location of Rab is supplemented by a unique natural environment, while the thought that you are on an island magically enhances the entire romantic atmosphere. Not to mention that Rab is one of the most beautiful Dalmatian islands, because it enjoys a fabulous historical background with an accent on the romantic architectures, the old historical houses, the castles, the Croatian traditions... Well, the greatest advantage of Rab is perhaps that it is as beautiful and romantic, as it is not so easily accessible. This means that once you get on the island you can feel a unique sensation that you are on a remote and distance place, which is naturally separated from the real life. There are only ferry rides that connect the island with the mainland, as well as nearby islands, while the mountains along the northeastern coast make less important the proximity of Rab to the mainland. That's why Rab Island is such an irresistible destination for romantic getaways in Croatia. Moreover, the serenity and isolation of Rab is complemented by an awesome hospitality, which offers all your comforts. Rab Town is the main community on the island, while the coasts between the mountains and the forests are dotted by a number of other villages and communities. You and your beloved can enjoy plenty of remote and unspoiled places on land and in the water, as well as explore the true essence of the Rab's romantic beauty. Indeed, Rab Island is a huge green jewel, which is surrounded by a crystal blue paradise.



The town of Rab is one of the most tempting places to visit from the beginning of your journey. It is also one of the most picturesque urban areas on the island and it is situated along the middle section of the southern coast. A long roadway from the   southernmost tip of the island (where is situated the ferry connection with Jablanac  on the mainland) to the middle section  (where is situated the town of Rab) offers   you a perfect fit to enjoy a truly captivating drive. The panoramic vistas of the sea from the one side, as well as plains, villages and  mountains from the other side, are just captivating. After a few minutes' drive you will enter in the historical village of Rab, where you will enter into a completely different world. It is a world, which features a romantic combination of history, nature and modern amenities. Let's begin with the amenities: Rab Town is filled by seafront hotels, apartments and other romantic lodgings, while the inner sections of the village offers some quite more remote and isolated romantic homes. No matter your choice - the old historical streets of Rab will take you to the city center, where are situated most of the shopping centers, the restaurants and other eateries. There are also a couple of large marinas, which offer a perfect fit to arrive on the island via romantic boat trip, for example. Rab Town is embraced by a wonderful urban atmosphere, thanks to a variety of historical squares, old buildings with splendid architectures, clean and often overcrowded streets, etc. And everything features a unique historical charm, which originates even from a couple of centuries BC. If you want to completely dive yourselves into the historical charm of Rab - visit the Old Town, which is situated on a whole tiny peninsula along the coast. There are situated most of the iconic historical landmarks on the island, such as churches and monuments. They all are romantic and they will seduce you to take a photo after a photo, while another permanent highlight in your journey would be the scenic colours of Rab. This city is a truly green city. The streets are bounded by tall green trees, while the cityscapes are dotted by spacious green parks and recreation corners. What about the seafront area? Just visit the harbour and you can find a collection of romantic sights and unforgettable emotions. The harbour of Rab becomes definitely the most romantic spot at sunset, when the dark silhouettes of the houses at the opposite shore are complemented by the dark floating silhouettes of the boats. In the meantime, the vibrant surface of the water magically mirrors all the golden glows of the sunset; the air temperature cools down to about 25 degrees Celsius; the coastal breeze of the sea also enhances the entire refreshment, especially if you visit Rab during the hot summer days. The spring is also best for romantic getaways, while the autumn is just colourful.



An unsurpassed scenery plays a major role for the awesome appearance of Rab Island. Almost along the entire northeastern coast you can come across steep coastal cliffs and mountain peaks that stretch to about 400 meters above sea level. These mountains are crossed by a number of improvised trails and climbing routes, and so they offer tempting settings for mountain adventures with your beloved, away from the civilization and the urban noise. When you climb atop the highest peaks you can take also full advantage of the best panoramic vistas. The dozens of pristine clear blue coves are breathtaking sights to witness from above. On the other hand, the most remote coastal cliffs that stretch only a couple of meters above the water offer a perfect fit to listen to the sound of the crashing waves, accompanied only by your loved one. And that's only along the mountain coast of Rab. The southernmost section is covered by a completely different scenery - a lush oak woodland, which is a truly beautiful natural landmark on the island. The trails are best for romantic outdoor activities, as well as explore the scenery. Picnicking, photographing, bird watching or hiking are a few examples.



When the sun goes down and the day again turns into a night - the town of Rab is a truly magical choice to stay and dine in an absolutely romantic atmosphere. After a dinner in an exquisite restaurant that overlooks the harbour, for example, make sure to visit the famous Rab Castle. It is bathed in its night lights, while its location  only a few meters from the waves is just a fairytale location. A short romantic walk trip with your loved one is enough to pamper  your senses with the humid smell of the night, as well as salty breeze of the sea, while the mystical shapes of the castle and its magical night lights are inspiring. And you are somewhere walking along the coast and dreaming of love.



On the next morning, a great idea is to wake up with a yummy breakfast on the terrace of your hotel or villa, especially if the vistas of the sea invite a unique exotic ease and elegance. If you visit the island in the summer - then you can also enjoy a truly cozy sunshine, which will seduce you to enjoy some romantic beach experiences. Rab Island has it all - including alluring golden sandy beaches. They are best for sunbathing and romantic leisure, as well as wet amusements. Swimming is a perfect choice to experience the water's relaxing qualities, while boating is the best choice to explore the divine bays and coves of Island Rab.

You may think that everything looks like a huge bowl of water, but it is much more beautiful, than it looks like. The water of the harbour is actually the caldera lake, which enjoys crystal clear turquoise waters and smooth tiny waves. Santorini is one of the most romantic stops for a number of Mediterranean cruises and because the coastline is rocky - there is not seaports or cruise terminals, and so your cruise ship stops in the middle of the harbor. Then, a scenic ferry ride takes you on the island, but, if you want to begin your romantic getaways from the air - at the opposite, easternmost coast of the island is situated a huge airport that grants an easy access by air. Even the vistas from the air provide the best panoramic vistas and so you can see the true scale of Santorini.

Enjoy a cup  of coffee or an exotic cocktail only with your beloved and enjoy the vistas of the scenery, and dream of love. The touch of the summer sunshine is a touch of coziness, while if you visit Santorini in the spring, for example, the sunshine is not so powerful. Nevertheless, Santorini is best for visiting all around the year, thanks to a truly invigorating sea breeze.



The abstraction continues with the vistas of the churches and their domes, which are dotted by bells. And yet the town of Santorini is quite more bustling and inhabitted, and so it might be quite difficult task if you want to find a compeltely isolated place only for yourselves. In this case appear all other small and peaceful communities on the island. Almost the entire rocky coastline of Santorini is edged by picturesque villages and communities. The village of Oia, for instance, is situated at the very northern tip of the harbour. The cityscapes of Oia are situated atop the coastal rocks, but an elevation of only about 100 meters above the waves offers an easier access. The outdoor romantic adventures are also numeros. For example, climb atop a remote pristine cliff and enjoy the magical illusion of the sound ot the crashing waves, which offer a unique sense of freedom. You can even think that you are on another planet. However, when you keep in mind that only our planet is blessed with water - you will never lose orientation about the place and time in which you are: Santorini Island, 21st century.


          This is it the island of Santorini - a magical collection of silhouettes with imaginary colours and shades, as well as countless romantic sensations and a truly invigorating climate. Everything on this island is special and it offers a perfect fit to taste the magic of Santorini. At last, but not at least, this island is just perfect for romantic getaways, because it is a perfect place to escape from the reality in the big bustling city, the noise and pressure within the streets, the sounds of the people and their cars... It is a perfect place to escape to a completely remote, distant and secluded slice of an exotic paradise, accompanied only by your beloved and plenty of magic vistas.

The name Buonconcento comes from the ancient Roman language of Latin and the phrase 'bonus conventus which literally translates as 'happy place. It has been called by this name for 1000 years and in all that time, people have come here understanding exactly what the ancient Romans were thinking of.

In fact, there is a vast array of reasons why the ancient Romans hit the nail on the head when it came to naming this place. It really is a beautiful corner of the world, and in many ways the rolling landscape might remind you of home, were it not for the sun. There is a comfort in the familiar which is only heightened when you feel the sun bouncing off your skin, rendering colours which at home might be dull and muted all at once rich and vibrant. The vistas and views that can be seen 360 degrees wherever you are in this quiet little place are something special to behold, and if are wanting things which will inspire you and your other half on this most special of holidays then you will find them here whenever you turn around.



That said, for a quiet corner there is still plenty to do. The local museum houses art  by a number prominent local Tuscan whose  work was first exhibited in the local churches. Those churches of St Peter and Paul are themselves still swathed in magnificent art, with beautiful frescos adorning the walls and the ceilings of even these simpler churches  in modern Italy.

The commune itself is surrounded by a line  of walls which were started nearly 700 years  ago and a gentle, relaxing wander along these walls will undoubtedly provide you with a time to cherish. As you feel the sun on   your face you will be able to absorb the sounds of nature and even though you are in one of the most populous countries in Europe still feel as though you are a million miles from anywhere.

The nature of this area is best described as rustic and honest. That isnt to say that you will be roughing it, as some of the most highly rated boutique hotels in Italy are to be found in this area, but it does tell you something about what to expect in terms of the buildings and the people that you will find. This is still very much a rural place, based largely on an economy of agriculture which not only ensures the beautiful scenery and countryside that it is impossible to take for granted, but also ensures the cosy, romantic atmosphere that has made this previously unheralded destination the best kept secret in honey destinations.



Many of the hotels and even then more populated areas are made up largely of converted farm buildings, lovingly restored to ensure that they offer the very greatest levels of comfort without compromising the character which defines these buildings and the region itself. It is often said that Italy is a country that excites the senses like no other, and this area represents that in microcosm. Whether it is the feel of the brickwork, the smell of the fresh blooms at your window and in the courtyard or the beautiful sites that great you whichever direction you face you are bound to understand exactly what this means as you build memories of your own in a land where people like you and the love of your life have been finding their own piece of paradise for hundreds of years.

If history is important to you then you will both relish being immersed into the heartland of Italy, the land which has fed the country and (in previous years) much of Europe, proving the ingredients which have made Italian food a favourite across the globe. A trip through these streets will always end in a visit to a local restaurant or cafe where simple ingredients, treated with a combination of experience, skill and respect are transformed into the sorts of treats that the pair of you will relish forever.



After all, this is what a romantic getaway is all about. It is about finding a place which is going to help the two of you create memories that you will be able to treasure, share, and recollect several years down the line with a smile. Few places can help you to achieve this sort of experience with as much ease as Buonconvento.

As with Italian food, the detail is everything. The beautifully maintained lawns, the warmth of the stone that is so soft and the all set against the azure blue which can only be found in the Mediterranean; it is as though you are moving through scenery from a  movie set, but rather than a cold scene the people in the region ensure that the atmosphere is as warm as the weather.

However, this isnt a simple backwater, because the value of this place is evident by the number of castles and villas which used to house the generals charged with guarding the rolling fields which would feed the Roman armies. Your time in this quiet corner neednt be all about country walks and exceptional food because there is a wide array of ancient buildings which are well worth a visit. They can mostly be found on top of the hills in the area, so the reward of your endeavor up the hills in the heat will be a quiet view which stretches for miles which will live in your memory forever.



The hills, farms and the happiness that is to be found in the simplest of things is what has drawn painters here for centuries and perhaps it was a painting that inspired you to come and visit this unique piece of paradise. The good news is that, while much of the rest of the world has moved on, Tuscany remains almost frozen in time. The key aspects of the history remain, enhanced by a few modern embellishments here and there but never compromised. As a result, if you were worried that the scene that you fell in love with might have changed, there is every chance that while you are roaming through the hills enjoying a quiet picnic your mind will suddenly place certain hills and fields and realise that you are sat in the painting that made you think of Tuscany in the first place.


          This isnt a place for hustle and bustle, this is a spot designed to allow couples to enjoy themselves away from it all, in a corner that essentially becomes your own. If you crave fresh air of car fumes and endless horizons to high rise congestion then you neednt look any further. You are still within touching distance of civilization but you would never know it, as you look around and see nothing but the love of your life smiling back at you.

The Ideal Sentimental Spot For Love

  When it comes to Romance, not many places in the world stand out like Rome. It is the worst kept secret in the romantic getaway industry and it is true that you cant spell 'romance without 'Rome. Wherever you are heading in this glorious, ancient city you will treated to a feast for the eyes, ears and of course the tongue, as the passionate Italians engulf you in their often hectic, but always loving embrace.



The Italian capital is fourth most populated city in Europe which doesnt automatically scream romance to most people, it highlights the fact that the nature of those residents is the key to experience you will have. The Italians are synonymous with romance, love and passion so the more of them you come into contact with the more romantic your getaway is likely to be. 'The Eternal City was built on these principles, with the attention to detail which set in place the buildings which have made the city so famous coming to fruit in their food, their wine and permeates down into everything they do. Being Italian is about enjoying life, about great company, simple things done will and, of course, love. Therefore, by extension, choosing Italy for a romantic getaway or surprise for your and your loved one  will give you access to all these things too, even if it is only for a little while.

The city itself is one of the oldest in Europe, built in 753BC where it became the capital of the Roman Empire. It is associated with one of the oldest institutions across the globe as well, with the Pope taking his seat here. Religion itself had a tremendous influence on the city and its architecture, with much of the design and financing of the buildings that will surround you as you wander through the streets coming from the church.



There are any number of things that will be  on your list, and in many cases the best time to see them is at sundown. As the last few sparks of sun flit away under the horizon, what could be better than sitting down at an authentic Italian restaurant with a fine bottle  of local wine and seeing the lights getting  turned on at one of the nearby ancient buildings. There is no end to the places to look so you can always take the time to enjoy one of these imposing structures come to  light as they are lit from underneath.

The greatest of them all is of course the amphitheatre; the Colosseum which was  used for gladiatorial combat. The hole area is surrounded by any number of surviving Roman buildings such as baths and catacombs as well as the Forum and the Pantheon, all of which are the ideal way to share a special moment with your other half. Most will offer tours and a select few of the baths are still running in some form or another.

From a slightly later time there are the great fountains of the Roman Empire. The sound of water is like music as it trickles, sprays and occasionally rages in these magnificent structures which have played a role in this area in some cases for over a thousand years.  In fact, why not take the time to enjoy some gloriously decadent Italian gelato and enjoy a walking tour of the fountains and their impressive sculptures?



The Fountain of the Four Rivers sits in the Piazza Navona and is the masterpiece of Gian Lorenzo Bernini. It took several years to complete the intricate detailing of the figures that rise out of the water like Poseidon and sitting as it does in one of the main squares of the city it is surrounded by any number of small shops, cafes, bars and little tourist traps enjoy and break up your day with shopping, socialising or simply soaking up the atmosphere as Rome carries on around you.

If you prefer early mornings then why not head to the Piazza di Spagna at sunrise. This fountain is not one of the oldest or best known but it is undoubtedly beautiful when the light hits it at the right time. A stones throw away from the nearest metro stop this could be the perfect start to a day of romance as you enjoy a rare moment in one of the busiest cities in Europe all to yourselves.



Of course, no trip to Rome would be  complete without visiting the great Trevi Fountain, arguably the most famous fountain in the world. If you are after intimacy this famous tourist destination might not be on  the top of your list but as a spectacle this might Baroque water feature is a site to behold that will leave both of you awestruck. Commissioned by the Pope originally this too was supposed to be a work produced by Bernini, although his design was never produced. That said, many of his features  are evident and after it was restored in 1998 the beautiful fountain has never looked better.

If you want a break from the pace of things in the busy Italian capital then there are also plenty of green spaces. Even in a hectic city like Rome there is a wide array of parks and nature reserves to offer you a bit of down time and peace and quiet in the midst of the hustle and bustle. There arent many cities which can offer you such a tremendous mixture of fast and slow pace, which really highlight why Rome has become a 'must see city for people of all tastes.



As night time comes, the city will slow down but only slightly. For Italians all over the world the last meal of the day is a special event, where people get together for either a giant family gathering or something a little more intimate. For you, the quieter option is easy to access, with a tremendous range of restaurants offering a spectacular range of local foods. You might think that you have enjoyed past and pizza before, but in truth you wont have had anything like what you will experience in even the most humble of Italian restaurants. It is moments like these, those special and unique experiences that will make your romantic Roman experience one that you and your partner will cherish forever.

What better way to complete your day than with a romantic ride in one of the horse drawn carriages that offer a unique way of getting around this city? There has always been something particularly romantic about enjoying a bit of private space with your other half, whether it is the therapeutic sound of the wheels on the cobbles or just the simplistic and honest attachment we all have to things from a bygone age. Why not make the most of it and turn it into a tour, after all, there cant be many better ways to experience the wide range of ancient buildings which are dotted around the city than in a mode of transport which hails from the same time.


            So why wouldnt you choose Rome for your romantic getaway or city break? What could be better than a city which truly has it all, and has done so for about 2500 years? This city has evolved and grown but never left behind the essence of what has made it such a wonderful destination for visitors from all over the globe; the people. The Italians are the people who will make this place somewhere that you will always cherish, returning again and again because of the profound effect it has on people. There are plenty of places which will take a lot more from you, without ever coming close to giving you half as much. Why not follow the example that people have taken for several thousand years and come to this unique place which is like no other for your next romantic getaway?

Positano - Dream Honeymoon Destination

Your honeymoon is the most special holiday that you will ever have; after all the planning and hard work building up to your wedding you finally get some time away from it all with your new husband or wife, but where do you go? For romance, beauty and serenity you will have to go a long way to beat Positano, a village and commune on the coast of Italy. On the picturesque hills that lead down to the sea on the Amalfi Coast it has come a long way since its origins as a basic port in the 16th century. You and your partner will still be surrounded by all the history of buildings which have been around since the town first came into being, but in more recent times it has reinvented itself as a little known romantic hideaway, the perfect place for couples like yourself to find peace and tranquility without having to fly thousands of miles and while still within touching distance of great restaurants, bars and the azure blue Mediterranean.



The vibrancy of this area is best expressed through color. Wherever you live it is unlikely that you will have seen anything like the array and richness of colors that abound in the village. Wherever you look you will see a hue that you recognize with a vibrancy that seems like it must have been computer generated. If you are looking for somewhere to appreciate the little things as you start your life together, where better than somewhere comfortable, simple but with features that will make you tingle.

Imagine sitting on your pristine white balcony, set into the rich green hillside. Your table rests on that most Mediterranean of colors; terra cotta while you look our to where the blue of the bright blue of the sky meets the deep azure blue of the sea. All around you sit a wide array of flowers, some familiar and some not but all in bloom and adding another dimension of color. You look at your partner. You clink your glasses and you smile from ear to ear.



The town itself sits on steep hills which come right out of the sea. As a result they are embedded into the countryside. The upshot of this is that, if you and your partner arent fans of sprawling cities for a romantic getaways, there are very few large buildings. The whole village is petites and picturesque through necessity, given the severity of the inclines. The other benefit of the slope is that wherever you and your partner are,   wherever you are walking, wherever you are relaxing you will be able to look out and see the  ocean which stretches out, uninterrupted on the horizon.

The cliffs continue to tower up above the town, highlighting how difficult it was to build this village over 400 years ago. The rich greenery belies the real reason for this port, because it relies almost entirely on the sea to exist. The rocky outcrop that the village is based on completely reliant on the sea to exist. It is impossible to farm the land around the area, as a result of the incline and the rocky nature of the soil. As a result, everything they eat, everything the drink is either taken out of the sea or brought across on it. If you are looking for an isolated spot to enjoy a little bit of down time with your other half then they dont get much more isolated than this.



As you would expect for a Mediterranean village the weather here is in your favour most of the year. Even in winter the temperature will rarely get down into single figures, but the best time to visit is undoubtedly during the European summer. However, despite this, whenever you choose to visit you will get the maximum amount of sun available and the bay in which Positano resides is a total sun trap, embracing the sun and drawing it down for those long summer nights and the best sunsets and sunrises on the continent. Whether you are watching the sun rise from behind the hills or set into the ocean, what a wonderful place to rest, whether you are someone who enjoys late nights or early mornings.

There is a wide range of hotels in Positano, but for that most romantic of getaways why not make the most of that elevation and guaranteed ocean view with one of the many infinity pools that are available? Generally speaking, these pools will taper off into a beautiful view, but only in Positano will your infinity pool stretch uninterrupted into the ocean and right out to the horizon. Where better to enjoy the sun and a glass of wine; a million miles away from everything in your own little piece of paradise?



Positano really has cemented itself as the ideal romantic getaway destination which means if you are looking to avoid loud and raucous family destinations with people bombing in the pool then you dont need to look much further. The only people you will see will be people like you; couples looking for a little time away from it all. That said, the beauty of this village is that, the elevation allows absolute privacy so if you dont want  to, you neednt see anyone else.

The higher up you go the more this tranquil little corner will give you. Elevation offers you views which take you even further, which  offer you even more. Up towards the top are some of the grander houses and hotels with beautiful gardens for you to relax in and enjoy. The smell of citrus and olives in these gardens are a reminder of the Mediterranean, because without them you will feel as though you could be anywhere.



However, if you prefer to spend your time a little closer to the sea then there is beautiful beach for you to enjoy. In the perfect position to make the most of the sun as it blasts overhead and with town and bay reaching out above and around you there are few beaches in the world which can offer you this sort of experience.

While you are right next to the sea, it makes sense to try and take advantage of some of what put this village on the map; the seafood. Surrounding the beach are a collection of small cafes, each of which will offer you their own speciality, roasted Mediterranean fish; simple ingredients and masterful cooking for a wonderful taste. There cant be many things better than coming out of the sea, the sun baking the salt onto your skin and into your hair and going a matter of paces to go and get the very best seafood you will ever have eaten.

             So if you are looking for a romantic getaway for your honeymoon, we think that Positano will tick all the boxes for you. If you like petite, ancient buildings with friendly, narrow streets then it is perfect. If you want a beach getaway without worrying about loud families or messy kids. It might have been built several hundred years ago but this place could well have been designed as a honeymoon destination. It feels like the middle of nowhere so it is just you and your other half.

Have You Ever Been To Phi Phi Lee Maya Bay, Thailand

Have you ever been to Phi Phi Lee Maya Bay, Thailand? Even if this is the first time you read about it - it's quite normal, because it comes to some of the most remote, secluded and isolated islands along the tropics. It is one really magical and serene place, where you and your beloved can find the true essence of exotic romantic getaways. And you will want to return to year after year, just because this beautiful piece of a tropical heaven provides all your comforts and pleasures, while the experience from your honeymoon, wedding or just a romantic escape will be unforgettable. If you still wondering why - take a look.



The shapes, textures and sounds of the tropical nature are the most beautiful spices in your romantic concoction. It's true, thanks to a unique location of Phi Phi Islands nearby the southwestern coast of Thailand. There are actually two major groups of islands - Phi Phi Don, which is the greatest island and it has some really irresistible resorts with exotic amenities, and Phi Phi Lee Island, which is quite smaller and it is situated at only about a couple of kilometers southward from Phi Phi Don. By contrast, Phi Phi Lee Island is quite more scenic, pristine and beautiful. It is almost entirely undeveloped, which offers you a perfect choice to escape from the noise and pressure of the big city and enjoy some really magical romantic getaways. And it is easily accessible as well, thanks to ferry and plane transfers from the mainland of Thailand. Then, as soon as you step on this little slice of a tropical paradise you will need only a couple of seconds to impress your mind, body and soul with all the breathtaking vistas that surround you. The colours are also abundant and they vary from white sandy beaches, to golden sun's rays. The green colours of the cliffs and the crystal clear turquoise hues of the sea are somewhere within the abundant array of nuances, especially in the mid-summer, when everything looks like an exotic painting come to life. And somewhere within the colours and shapes of Phi Phi Lee Island, dominate the dramatic almost vertical coastal cliffs with which this island is most famous for. Imagine a multitude of about a hundred meters tall cliffs, which majestically tower the clear blue skyline, while the darker colours of these rocks are scenically complemented by the fresh green colours of their lush vegetation. And everything is made by the nature.



And you are somewhere in the middle of this paradise, enjoying everything that you see, smell and see. Your romantic journey begins even from the sunrise, which will seduce you to forget about your trip list and enjoy the warm glow of the golden sun's rays. What about the best place for such an enjoyment? The beach is always a good choice. From there, the panoramic vistas create an unmatched illusion that you are watching a picture or something like a TV, but it's quite more beautiful, than it looks like. The darker colours of the dramatic vertical cliffs are bathed in the golden glows of the first sun's rays, while the crystal clear waves begin to show their real azure colours. The sands of the beach are getting warmer and warmer, the water - also. Meanwhile, the humid coastal winds are yet cooler and extremely invigorating. And when the sun appears high above the horizon - your tropical romance is just about to start.



The scenery on the island is amazing and the colours of the nature will seduce you to enjoy a few romantic outdoor activities. Hiking with your loved one is often the most passionate adventure to feel the beauty of the colours, while the inner section of the island is covered by steep hills and dense woodlands. The tranquil trails will make you feel like you are walking within the corridors of a huge tropical museum, while during your journey you can also take advantage of a bunch of other romantic outdoor activities. Picnicking is a perfect choice to stop for a while and enjoy a short breakfast, for example, while photographing and wildlife watching can easily be combined in one exciting adventure. What about collecting romantic vistas? Indeed, this always might be transformed into the most passionate and romantic pastime to enjoy - just find a secluded romantic spot, make it as a gift, and then surprise your beloved. The best thing is that all the vistas on the island are stunningly romantic. Just a hint: the gigantic vertical cliffs can really make you dream of love when you see their height and colours, while above them is only the blue infinite sky.



Phi Phi Lee Island is quite remote and isolated, but it is also often overcrowded by boats and honeymooners. Fortunately, to   find the best pristine place to escape from   the reality is a quite a simple amusement. Put your feet in the water and enjoy a romantic walk for about an hour or even more, until  you lose yourselves within the spectacular  natural beauty of this island. Your walk along the shoreline offers a perfect fit to enjoy the magical fusion of white sands and turquoise waters. Not to mention that these are two of the greatest natural forces in the world, maybe after the love, of course. The sound  of the sparkling waves is truly romantic, while  the touch of the sun's hand is truly captivating. Another quite normal thing is to be seduced by the warm water to put your body in it and enjoy some really fabulous wet amusements. Swimming for couples or a boat trip is a good choice for a coastal exploration, while the water's romantic qualities are unsurpassed.



This island is most famous for its Maya Bay, which is one of the most beautiful natural formations along the coast. All along the island you can find pristine bays and tiny peninsulas, but Maya Bay is the largest bay. It is embraced by huge coastal cliffs, while its large beach is scenically complemented by a number of massive pieces of rocks. Beach volleyball is a good choice to enjoy the rays of the sunshine, especially if you are accompanied by another couple or your friends. The sunshine is caressing, the fine white sands provide a fine natural massage for your feet, while an air temperature of about 30 degrees Celsius can really make your beach volleyball amusement a truly amusing diversification of your romantic getaway. But there is nothing more seductive and pleasant, than sunbathing on the beach. With or without an umbrella - the sensation is inspiringly exotic, and romantic.



Then, a great idea is to take advantage of a quite more romantic amusement. Snorkeling is a perfect way to explore the beauty of the underwater world, while scuba diving for couples is one of the most magical underwater amusements that you can imagine. Nearby the coasts of Phi Phi Lee Island are hidden numerous water jewels  such as shallow coves, which are almost entirely encircled by the giant vertical cliffs. Imagine the shapes of these cliffs that continue underwater and you can see what  to expect during your underwater adventure. Plus, the crystal clear azure lagoons feature  a multitude of colours beneath the water surface, as well as abundant tropical wildlife, while the underwater visibility is often up to  30 meters. And after a long day or even more on this beautiful natural wonder, named Phi Phi Lee Maya Bay - make sure to enjoy a couple of hours or even a whole romantic vacation on the nearby island of Phi Phi Don. There you can take advantage of all your comforts, while an impeccable hospitality can make you dream of love all day long. From exquisite restaurants, to gorgeous beaches and countless romantic spots - there is a perfect fit for everyone's taste and style to stay and enjoy quite more longer romantic getaway.


          Your magical romantic getaways on Phi Phi Lee Island can change into an absolute pleasure from the first moment you see the dramatic green-topped cliffs, which stretch high over the crystal clear azure water like scenic beacons of romance. And these are only the first things that can take your breath away. Then, just think of the white sandy beaches and the refreshing shadows of the huge palm trees, or maybe the romantic boat tours within the most secluded coves, or maybe the most hidden turquoise coves that you will have them all for yourselves. Or maybe the question "Have you ever been to Phi Phi Lee Maya Bay, Thailand?" is quite a rhetorical question. Seek and you shall find the finest shapes for romantic getaways in a tropical heaven!

Almost the entire county is covered by mountains, while the ocean coast features some alluring sandy beaches. Three other bays embrace the shores of Marin County from the other side and so you may thing that Marin County is a huge heavenly secluded island.

And that's might only be the beginning of  your romantic escape, because Marin   County is much more, than a green natural paradise. Yes, this county enjoys some of the greenest landscapes nearby San Francisco area, but  it is also an unsurpassed blue paradise. Let's begin with the crystal clear bays, which surround Marin County from almost its entire eastern side. It comes to   San Pablo Bay, San Rafael Bay and San Richardson Bay, whose shores are best for romantic getaways. You can take advantage of absolutely serene spots that you will have them all for yourselves, as well as modern urban areas, which are filled with amenities and entertainments. The scenic marinas, for instance, will seduce you to enjoy a short impromptu trip within the white silhouettes of the boats and then begin a coastal exploration via romantic boat trip. The bays that surround the county from the one side are best for boating, yachting, sailing and much, much more, while the romantic vistas vary from huge bridges, to green-topped islands. On the other hand, the entire western side of Marin County is embraced by the blue waters of Pacific Ocean, while the coastal areas are dotted by some of the most tempting romantic spots in all over the county. The beaches are amazing and they are best for swimming or sunbathing, but only in the mid-summer when the air temperature is high enough.

And finally - all over the Marin County you can find completely isolated and pristine spots with clear blue lakes, ponds and rivers. Their shores are not only best for camping, but they are also best for sightseeing. Just imagine all the colours, shapes and texture of the nature, which are romantically reflected by the calm waters of the lakes, for example. Then, imagine the purple vistas at sunset or the shadows of the mist at sunrise.



The nights also offer plenty of magical sensations to enjoy. Away from the urban night lights you can take advantage of a unique stargazing experience, while the coasts of the bays scenically overlook the giant skyscrapers on San Francisco' skyline. Their night lights and the overall urban charm are even quite exotic, especially when you keep in mind that you are somewhere far away from the noise and pressure in the downtown. The vistas of the silhouettes of the bridges are another magical pleasure to enjoy. There are numerous bridges that cross over the bays and their shores reveal some really irresistible romantic spots for sightseeing. Not to mention the symbolic interpretations of the bridges that can always be used as magical ways to enhance your romantic mood.

Actually everything in Pamukkale is a romantic and unique natural phenomenon, always.



The unique travertine terraces of Pamukkale are created by their unique location over an active seismic massive in southwestern Turkey. Plus, the village of Pamukkale is adjacent to the white terraces, which means that you can take advantage of plenty of romantic accommodations, which are situated just next door to your white "cotton" paradise. Yes, the travertine terraces of Pamukkale look like giant cotton sculptures of nature, because they feature pure white colours, while the hot mineral water has a soft and milky nuance. The romantic ambiance is enhanced by the position of the travertine terraces over a steep hill, while the panoramic vistas of the area include an abundance of other mountain hills. During your romantic getaways to Pamukkale it is quite normal to wonder how are created these amazing natural white formations, but the answer is actually pretty simple. It comes to the flows of the hot mineral water through the slopes. Thus are created numerous formations of sediments or travertine, which look like giant pools or terraces. The white colours are provided by the mineral ingredients and they are everywhere. Another unique feature of Pamukkale is that you can walk within the terraces, sunbathing, climb to the top of the travertine terraces or just simply enjoy the mineral water's spa qualities. The stunning panoramic vistas reveal their own romantic qualities through a breathtaking way, while you can also enjoy a different romantic therapy throughout the year. Pamukkale is a unique place for romantic getaways, thanks to the surrounding landscapes that change their colours throughout the seasons. The air temperature also changes, while the hot mineral water in the travertine terraces is still really hot. The illusion that you are in the heart of a cotton paradise is another constant sensation that continues all year long, especially in the wintertime, when all the vistas are covered by snow.



During your romantic journey to Pamukkale  in the wintertime, you can take advantage of another unique romantic sensation, which looks more likely a natural phenomenon. It comes to the golden sunset over the vibrant mountain horizon, which invites an inspiring sense of freedom and romance at once. December and January are the coldest months and everything is often covered by snow. Just imagine all the snow covered landscapes and the pleasant shapes of the white travertine terraces, as well as way  these white colours gently absorb the    golden rays of the sunset. This romantic   atmosphere is complemented by an air temperature of a bit above 0 degrees Celsius, but the hot mineral water in the travertine terraces can really make you forget about the cold air temperature. According to the height of the terraces, the water temperature varies from 30 to nearly 100 degrees Celsius. A close proximity to the village of Pamukale delivers another complimentary accent to your special romantic experience. A wide variety of romantic hotels, villas and private vacation homes are spread at the foot of the hills, where you can come across a perfect fit to stay. While strolling around the streets in Pamukkale village you can also enjoy an abundance of romantic restaurants and other amenities, while the unsurpassed charm of southwestern Turkey can be felt even in the air. Unwind, relax, charge your batteries and on the next day of your journey make sure to spend a couple of hours or even a whole day within the "cotton" paradise. Walk around the edges of the travertine terraces, collect memories and striking sights, enjoy the romantic sensations with your loved one and capture the finest essence of a natural spa.



On the other hand, the months in the mid-summer offer air temperature of over 35 degrees Celsius and you can really lose any orientation of weather you are within or outside the terraces' mineral waters. The sunset is an even more captivating romantic attraction that you can't miss, thanks to the green hills that change their colours into golden plated rocky formations. The calm mineral water within the travertine terraces transforms into a multitude of natural mirrors, that magically reflect all the golden sun's rays. The mineral water's relaxing qualities provide the finest natural spa that you can imagine, especially at sunset during the summer months and when you are accompanied by your loved one. The water within the lowest terraces features a relatively lower temperature and so you can spend even a whole day enjoying the rejuvenating and relaxing treatments for your body. But always keep an eye on the stunning panoramic vistas, which always help you to treat your mind with some really romantic sensations.



A great idea is to climb atop the highest travertine terraces, which feature a height of nearly 160 meters. From there, the  panoramic vistas are really stunning and    you can also witness some iconic historical landmarks. The ancient city of Hierapolis,   the ruins of a Roman amphitheater and an ancient Roman bath are sights that will seduce you to take a few pictures or at      least enjoy a quite more different historical atmosphere. Meanwhile, the water within the highest terraces reach a temperature of nearly 100 degrees Celsius, because there   is situated the source of the hot mineral  springs. A few terraces downwards you can find an optimal water temperature for a natural spa, while walking around the travertine terraces is permitted only by bare feet. This walk is also a unique massage therapy for your feet, while the sense when you put your body in the warm milky turquoise water is nothing, but captivating. Sunbathing during the summer is the main source for a romantic relaxation, while sometimes, when you are within the highest areas of Pamukkale - it is just enough to take a deep breath, close your eyes, and dream of love.



The colourful landscapes of the valley and the numerous reddish rooftops of the village create a permanent accent to everything that surrounds you, and actually they are the only things that always remember you that you are on Earth. Make sure to have lots of memory on your camera, because the panoramic vistas from atop Pamukkale will seduce you to take a photo after a photo or even make a whole album. The stunning backdrop of the surrounding scenery offers an unparalleled fusion of colours, and this fusion changes throughout the year. The white formless clouds in the spring magically supplement the green hills, while the clouds leave their shadows on the hills through an even more romantic way. During the autumn, these hills become multi-coloured, thanks to the dozens of colours of the leaves of the trees, while the white hues of the travertine terraces create an absolute contrast to everything around. You may think that photographing is the greatest pastime to dream of love, but only to enjoy the hot mineral water and the unique natural spa, is sometimes the finest romance in Pamukkale that you can imagine. And your beloved will appreciate it, too.
