Tobermory is the main settlement on the Isle of Mull in Scotland’s Inner Hebrides, arranged around a sheltered natural harbor on the island’s northeast coast. Its waterfront is lined with brightly painted buildings, many of which house shops, cafés, galleries, restaurants, and guesthouses. The harbor remains active with fishing boats, pleasure craft, and ferries, while the surrounding hills rise behind the town.
Eden is a coastal town on the Sapphire Coast of New South Wales, set around the deep waters of Twofold Bay near the Victorian border. Its location combines a working harbour, beaches, forested headlands, and a strong connection with the sea. Twofold Bay is one of the deepest natural harbours in the Southern Hemisphere and remains central to the town’s fishing, boating, and whale-watching activities.
One of Turkey's popular holiday vacation spots, Antalya is an engaging city. The region is immersed in sunshine for 300 days of the year, making it a hot spot for sunbathing, swimming and activities like wind-surfing, water-skiing, sailing, mountain climbing and caving.
Mamora Bay, tucked into Antigua’s southern coastline, is a serene crescent-shaped bay framed by gentle hills and swaying palms. Known for its calm, sheltered waters, the bay offers a tranquil setting that contrasts with the island’s more rugged Atlantic side.
Plovdiv, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Europe, carries over 8,000 years of history layered into its streets. The Roman Theater, still in use today, was discovered by accident in the 1970s and now hosts operas and concerts overlooking the Rhodope Mountains. Nearby, visitors can walk the remains of a Roman stadium buried beneath the main pedestrian street, where modern shops and cafés stand above ancient foundations.

Lamu is a place of fantasy and other-worldliness wrapped in a cloak of medieval romance. With an almost exclusively Muslim population, Kenya's oldest living town has changed little in appearance or character over the centuries. Remote and self-contained, this once thriving port town is now a gloriously relaxed and relaxing destination. No other Swahili town, other than Zanzibar, can offer you such a cultural feast and uncorrupted traditional style of architecture - if you can ignore the TV aerials. A couple of hours spent in the waterfront Lamu Museum is an excellent introduction to the town's culture and history. And if the museum stokes your interest in Swahili culture then you should also check out the beautifully restored building nearby housing the Swahili House Museum. One of Lamu's quirkier attractions is the Donkey Sanctuary - no doubt a haven for all those donkeys seeking political asylum. Taking a trip by dhow is almost obligatory.
