INTERESTING PLACES TO VISIT

Good day everyone,
to some of you who are thinking about traveling and visiting new places
I decided to make a list of 5 beautiful interesting places to visit 



1. MALTA


 The Maltese Archipelago consists of Malta (the main island), Gozo, Comino and the uninhabited islet of Filfla. The islands are located right at the centre of the Mediterranean sea, south of Sicily.

How big is Malta?

Just 316 sq km

Population

401,880 (2007 estimate). Although this number may look small, due to its tiny size, the island of Malta is quite densely populated.

Capital

Valletta is the capital of Malta.

A city built by gentlemen for gentlemen. Valletta was built by the Knights of Malta and is perhaps Malta’s greatest treasure. Impressive fortifications surround the city to this day. Choc-a-bloc with intriguing narrow streets, churches, palaces, museums, restaurants and baroque buildings, you will be amazed at the countless fantastic sights that you will discover while casually walking around in Valletta.
2. SANTORINI



Santorini is the name of a small archipelago located in the southern Aegean Sea, about 120 km (75 mi) north of Crete and 200 km (120 mi) southeast of Greece's mainland. The name also refers to, colloquially, its main island, Thira (prehistoric Thera). The archipelago covers an area of approximately 73 km2 (28 sq mi), with about 13,600 inhabitants living on its only inhabited islands, Thira and Therasia. Originally, Santorini was a single island, but after an enormous volcanic eruption in 1628 BC, it became a circular archipelago, where the islands Thira, Therasia and Aspronisi form the edge of a caldera (a cauldron-like structure of volcanic origin), which is flooded by the sea. In the centre of this giant, up to 400 m (1312 ft) deep lagoon, the islands Palea (Palaia) Kameni and Nea Kameni are located.

3. Macao





Just like Hong Kong, Macau is one of the special administrative regions of People’s Republic of China. The city is considered to be one of the most affluent cities in the world, owing to its flourishing tourist industry. In effect, it houses a number of hotels, resorts, stadiums, restaurants and casinos. Apart from this, it has other notable industries, such as textiles, electronics and toys. Macau was initially inhabited by the Portuguese, in 16th century. Macau span over an area of 11.39 sq. miles or 29.5 sq. km and as per the 2011 census, the population of the region is 552,503. Macau operates on two political systems. The defense and foreign affairs of the region are looked after by the Central People’s Government, while it maintains its own legal system, police force, monetary system, customs policy, immigration policy and delegates to international organizations and events.


4. ECUADOR








Ecuador is a very beautiful South American country, which has the equator passing through it. In the other words, it falls on both the sides of the equator. Located in the northwestern part of South America, it stands bordered by the Pacific Ocean in the west, Colombia in the north and Peru in the south and east. Forming a part of the landscape of the country are the Galápagos Islands, situated in the Pacific, which lie about 965 kilometers (600 miles) to the west of the mainland. Ecuador is one of three countries that were created in 1830, after the collapse of Gran Colombia. According to the Conservation International Ecuador sits among 17 of the mega-diverse countries in the world. At every square kilometer, the biodiversity of Ecuador has been found to be more than any other country in the world.

5. BUSAN



South Korea's second-largest city -- it's home to 3.7 million residents -- Busan (formerly spelled Pusan) is filled with towering apartment complexes, crowded streets, and a modern subway system. That description may remind you a bit of Seoul, but don't be fooled -- this is a very different city. The people of Busan are in some ways more formal and traditional, but in other ways more easy-going and open. Their accents are strong, just like everyone's in Gyeongsang-do, and even native South Koreans sometimes have trouble understanding them. Still, the people exhibit the same open friendliness you'll encounter in the most rural towns. Busan's residents are not what you'd expect of those living in a modern metropolis, but that's just part of the city's charm.
