Overview
Take a trip to Praslin Island on your Seychelles Vacation
After Mahe, Praslin is the second largest island in Seychelles. It is located 45 kilometres/28 miles northeast of Mahe and can be reached by air on a 15-minute flight or by catamaran which takes 45 minutes on a Seychelles vacation.
Praslin is a much quieter island than Mahe and far less developed. With its stunning white sand beaches and lush tropical forests covering its hills, Praslin is an absolute delight. The two principal beach areas are Anse Lazio and Anse Georgette. Anse Lazio,
on the northwest coast, is possibly the most beautiful beach you will set eyes upon on an Seychelles vacation. With half a mile of perfect, fine white sands and gorgeous turquoise waters that are so clear you can watch the fish swim around you, it's no surprise Anse Lazio is frequently called “the best beach in the world”. Anse Georgette is outstandingly beautiful but is quiet and hidden away and apart from being completely undeveloped, there is not a single rock or piece of coral in the bay which allows the white sands on the sea bed to reflect the wonderful turquoise coloured water.

Turkey is a vast country and home to many diverse communities. Therefore, there are many local traditions that showcase their distinct origins. Among many, one fascinating event in Turkey that visitors should witness is the ceremony of Whirling Dervishes in Cappadocia.
Few places layer ancient civilizations quite like Turkey. From the ruins of Ephesus, the legendary city of Troy, and the underground cities of Cappadocia, to the Byzantine and Ottoman grandeur of Istanbul - it's a living museum. Walking through the Hagia Sophia or along the ancient walls of Constantinople is like stepping into a history book.
Turkish cuisine is seriously underrated globally. From a simple simit on the street to a full meze spread and a sizzling kebab, every meal is an experience. And of course, Turkish tea and baklava are daily rituals you don’t want to miss.
One hidden gem is the Great Sand Dunes National Park, Colorado. Sand dunes against the backdrop of the Rockies, with sand sledding, hiking, and amazing night skies.
Te Maeva Nui is the Cook Islands' biggest annual cultural celebration, held every August to mark the anniversary of the nation's self-governance. The festival features colorful parades, traditional music and dance, handicrafts, and local food. It’s a vibrant showcase of the islands’ heritage and community spirit. Attending Te Maeva Nui gives travelers a unique chance to see the culture come alive and connect with locals in a joyful, festive setting
