Bali is dotted with temples—some perched on cliffs, others floating on lakes, or tucked deep in the jungle. These sacred sites aren’t just places of worship; they’re woven into daily life, rich in tradition, ceremony, and stunning scenery. Here's a list of the temples worth visiting in Bali, whether you're after spiritual insight or just an unforgettable view. 1. Tirta Empul Temple Visit Tirta Empul to see the holy spring where locals come for purification rituals. It’s a chance to witness—or join—a unique Balinese tradition centred around water. 2. Uluwatu Temple (Pura Luhur Uluwatu) Perched high on a sea cliff, Uluwatu offers some of the best sunset views on the island. Stick around for a proper local experience, the Kecak dance at dusk. 3. Ulun Danu Beratan Temple Float over to Ulun Danu Beratan, a serene temple sitting on Lake Beratan. It’s dedicated to Dewi Danu, the water goddess, and the cool mountain air adds to the peaceful vibe. 4. Goa Gajah Temple (Elephant Cave) Step into Goa Gajah for its mysterious cave entrance and detailed stone carvings. The nearby ancient bathing pools make it clear this spot was important centuries ago. 5. Saraswati Temple (Pura Taman Saraswati) Dedicated to the goddess of wisdom and arts, swing by Saraswati Temple in Ubud to see the pretty lotus ponds and elegant carvings. 6. Tanah Lot Head to Tanah Lot for one of Bali’s most famous sea temples. Sitting on a rocky outcrop in the ocean, it’s especially popular at sunset. 7. Besakih Great Temple (Pura Besakih) Known as Bali’s Mother Temple, Besakih is situated on the slopes of Mount Agung and comprises over 80 smaller temples. It’s a sprawling complex that feels like the spiritual heart of the island. 8. Penataran Agung Lempuyang Temple Check out Lempuyang for the 'Gates of Heaven' photo spot, with Mount Agung framing the background. The hike up requires some effort, but the views make it worthwhile.

Plaka feels like a small village at the very heart of the vibrant Greek capital. You will most likely walk through the neighbourhood on your way to or from the Acropolis, but it's worth more than a passing glance. Plaka has a soul of its own and its small streets, flowery corners and pretty stairs brim with countless coffee shops.
