Salisbury Plain is a broad coastal area on the northwest side of South Georgia, backed by steep mountains and glaciers. Its open shoreline is particularly notable for the large Antarctic fur seal population that gathers here, making it one of the island’s important wildlife viewing sites.

The Caribbean Sea, a gem nestled between the Caribbean islands and the coastlines of Central and South America, offers a breathtaking escape into a world of azure waters and tropical allure.

Eluding Ottoman oppression sure makes you beautiful! Besides breathtaking beaches and lovely pools, this Greek island in the Ionian Sea offers many charms, from its Old Town (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) to Venetian fortresses to cypresses waving in the ocean breeze. Corfu's Byzantine castle, Angelokastro, is located on a dramatic hilltop and offers stunning views. In Greek mythology, Odysseus was washed ashore on Corfu but soon left the island... we recommend staying awhile in this cobalt paradise.
