As the fourth-most populous city in Australia, Perth seems to have finally hit its stride. New developments and hotels are popping up all over town.
Swan River is one of the top-rated tourist attractions you can find here.
Local Aboriginals believe the rainbow serpent, “Waugal,” created this winding river. To Perth locals and tourists alike, it’s the perfect setting for outdoor fun. You can picnic at the riverside parks, bike or hike along the many trails, cast a fishing line, sail, swim, or kayak.
To see some of the posh houses of the riverfront suburbs, hop aboard a relaxing river cruise between Perth and the historic port of Fremantle. Another popular day trip is a cruise upriver to the fertile shores of the Swan Valley, Western Australia’s oldest grape-growing region. Here, foodies can sample fresh local produce and scrumptious artisan foods at the highly acclaimed restaurants. Most ferries and river cruises depart from Barrack Square Jetty.
Fiji
The island country of Fiji is home to some of the world’s most spectacular scenery — famous for its soft coral diving, white sand beaches and pristine natural environment. Fiji is the perfect place for unforgettable dives or a cruise to remote, secluded beaches and hidden bays. Fiji’s main attractions to tourists are primarily white sandy beaches and aesthetically pleasing islands with the all-year-round tropical weather.
Kokomo Private Island Resort is a nice place to be, a place where spectacular white sand beaches are yours for the taking, where privacy is paramount and service is superior.
Cape Verde Islands
The Cape Verde Islands off the west coast of Africa is where you can get a blend of Brazilian, African and Iberian influences in a place already blessed with incredible weather and scenery.
Cape Verde Islands are best known for music, a melodic heritage that borrows from all three of its mother cultures and that provided one of the sparks of the modern World Beat sound.
Cape Verde Islands, despite its small population, has spawned five distinct musical genres including morna — the national music and dance. There is also Funaná (a sensual mixed Portuguese and African dance).
Volcanic peaks provide a dramatic backdrop to the archipelago’s beaches and bays, waterfront towns spangled with pastel houses and hiking trails that meander across lava fields, along with deep ravines and through the island’s bizarre Dragon Trees.
Archipelago Sea, Finland
Finland’s Archipelago Sea is the world’s largest, with 25,000 miles of shoreline and innumerable islands, although many of the islands are very small and tightly grouped. The Archipelago Sea is a significant tourist destination.
The archipelago has a subarctic glamour, with eerie, sunlit summer nights and dark winter days, its rocky, tree-lined islands dotted with storybook wooden cottages. Hike, bike, or drive the islands; or hole up on one all your own.
The Archipelago Sea is indeed a hidden gem for travellers.
Malta
Valletta, the capital of Malta, has been named Europe’s Capital of Culture for 2018, and the timing couldn’t be better. The City of Valletta was officially recognised as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1980.
Malta is a popular tourist destination with its warm climate, numerous recreational areas, and architectural and historical monuments.
Located between Italy and Tunisia, Malta exists at a crossroads that makes for a captivating history. Within a 20-minute bus ride, you’ll feel like you’ve toured from ancient Greece to the Middle East and back, and you’re as likely to find a bowl of Sardinian-style pasta as a doner kebab. You’ll want to hurry and get there before its too late.
