Melissani Undercover Cave and Lake

There’s great quantity of gorgeous nature and breathtaking landscape there. Vacationers and travelers who arrive here are fascinated by the magnificent rugged mountain ranges and also the valleys in between them which are full of number of vineyards. Just one of Kefalonia’s many well known sightseeing and tours points of interest that travelers can enjoy during their vacation is Melissani Lake. This massive underground cave was formed around one thousand years ago when the ceiling of a huge cave system broke down and tumbled in the sea beneath it uncovering the clear blue waters on the wonderful sunlight above.

Whenever the sunshine its light arrive at the water from the large hole on the caves ceiling and the developing display of aqua blue natural light moving over the water is a thing that all travellers must see.

The Most Popular Tourist Attraction in Croatia

I always nodded in agreement because it struck me that most people shared the same sentiment, regardless of their origin. This says to me, that natural beauty and splendor are everywhere. Our planet is a wonderful place and there are countless gems like the Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia, for us to appreciate and preserve. The Plitvice Lakes National Park was granted UNESCO World Heritage status in 1979. Photograph by Roman Bonnefoy The National Park covers a total area of 300 square kilometers (116 sq. miles), whilst the lakes join together over a distance of eight kilometers (5 miles). The lakes are renowned for their distinctive colours, ranging from azure to green, grey or blue.

Just the ticket for popping the question: The romantic tunnel of love railway line thats so beautiful its beyond be-leaf. By Leon Watson Published: 00:58 GMT, 11 May 2012 | Updated: 07:04 GMT, 11 May 2012 Strolling hand-in-hand with someone special, these young lovers must be in one of the world's most romantic spots.

India may have the Taj Mahal, and Paris is the city of love, but the Ukraine has this incredible, ethereal Tunnel of Love. There is one thing though, it's also a train line. And when it's choo-choo time, the tunnel does get rather noisy.

However, in spring the beautiful avenue of trees is witness to a very different journey - into love.

The magic happens when the trees that line the rails burst into life and create a leafy enclosed arch over the track.
