Slovenia, part of the former Yougoslavia is a country in the heart of Europe. This small country bordered by Austria, Hungary, Croatia and Italy offers exceptional natural sights and cultural highlights.
Slovenia's natural beauty has earned it many nicknames; Europe in Miniature, The Sunny Side of the Alps and The Green Piece of Europe. From the beaches to snow-capped mountains, hills awash in grapevines and wide plains blanketed in sunflowers to Gothic churches, baroque palaces and historic castles, Slovenia offers more diversity than countries many times its size.
 The capital Ljubljana is a wealth of culture, sights, activities and good old-fashioned fun. Bled is a magical must see! 
Bled Island - The Church of the Assumption

 Cappadocia is a region in central Turkey known for its UNESCO World Heritage site the Goreme National Park. The many rock churches; also known as "fairy chimney" can still be seen today. From the 4th to 13th century AD, occupants of the area dug tunnels into the exposed rock face to build residences, stores, and churches which are home to irreplaceable Byzatine art. Cappadocia is known around the world as one of the best places to hot air balloon. Floating effortlessly just an arms stretch away from the tops of the fairy-chimneys, fruit trees and then ascending high above the ice cream coloured ravines, it's the perfect way to experience the beautiful destination. |
