The Castle of Ravadinovo, often called "In Love with the Wind", is a whimsical, fairytale-like attraction near Sozopol. The castle sprung from the imagination of architect Georgi Kostadinov Tumpalov, who tirelessly laboured to bring his vision into reality since 1996, involving his family, friends, local workers and getting his own hands dirty, too. Built entirely using marble from the Strandzha Mountains, its dreamy, kitsch design features towers, fountains, and lush gardens. The castle’s enchanting atmosphere, complete with a lake and chapel, offers a surreal escape, making it a popular spot for romantics and photographers. A visit here feels like stepping into a storybook.

Any road trip in Ireland will invariably pass through the Shannon region. If you find yourself in Limerick, start at the river’s end and arrive in rugged north Kerry by following the southern coastline of the estuary. It is thanks to the river’s water that this region is so green, so enjoy the scenery by taking your sweet time on a scenic tour from Kittycloghar to Mohill in County Leitrim. The Shannon Erne Tour starts in Carrick-on-Shannon, Ballinamore, Carrigallen, Dromod, Jamestown and returns to Carrick-On-Shannon in the end, with a length of approx 92km. Carrick-on-Shannon, the cruising capital, is home to the smallest chapel in Europe, while Ballinamore is an angler’s paradise with 40 lakes in a 10 km radius. The Lough Rynn estate in Mohill features 100 acres of rare woodland and exotic walled ornamental gardens, whereas Dromod houses the Cavan and Leitrim Railway. Jamestown, in the and, and named after King James 1, was a walled and fortified city that still holds one of the gates until today.

Located west of Newcastle, this region is home to many of Australia’s top wineries, most of which are centred around Polkobin, although Cessnock is the area’s main town. The main attraction here is visiting the wineries and tasting the locally-grown fruits. There is no public transport between the wineries in Hunter Valley, so your best bet would be to hire a tour company.
