If you want to see both Asia and Europe in one journey, you must make Turkey your destination. With a unique position of having land in both continents, amazing Turkey offers visitors a truly exceptional transcontinental experience. Istanbul, the only city that straddles two continents, has interesting facets that reflect its unique position. The European side boasts of such architectural wonders like the Hagia Sophia, an ancient basilica with what was once the largest dome in the world; the Blue Mosque and its imposing minarets; the enormous Dolmabahçe Palace; the imperial Topkapi Palace which affords spectacular view of the Bosphorus; and the eerie Basilica Cistern, which was constructed for water storage in case of siege of the city.

You might have had your fill of wonderful sights in the European side, but you’re bound to be awed some more once you cross the Bosphorus Bridge to the Asian side. The ornately beautiful Beylerbeyi Palace, the top of the Çamlica Hill which is a park that overlooks Istanbul where one experiences true Ottoman atmosphere, and the suburb of  Üsküdar, where one can see the magnificent palaces in the European side across the Bosphorus from an entirely new Perspective.

After journeying through Istanbul, it’s time you head to the other fabulous destinations of Turkey. Visit Ankara and see relics of empires that once ruled the nation. The Museum of Anatolian Civilizations in the Ankara Castle has a rich collection of artefacts on display, while the Mustafa Kemal Atatürk mausoleum called Anitkabir exhibits a collection of Atatürk memorabilia. Near the capital is the moonscaped Cappadocia region, where one is transported, literally, to a fairy tale world. Walking through the Cappadocian cities of Göreme, Uçhisar and Nevsehir lets you see the Fairy Chimneys and rock houses up close, as well as exploring underground cities, monasteries and temples used by early Christians fleeing persecution. To really appreciate the beauty of the region, hot-air balloon tours are available for those wishing to view the natural formations from above, while adventurous types can stay in one of the several cave houses converted into first-class hotels.

The perfect way to end your fairytale holiday in Turkey is to visit the Turquoise Coast. Turkey’s Mediterranean coast boasts of some of the finest beaches in Europe as well as quaint little cities and towns offering unique attractions. The rapidly developing city of Antalya is the gateway to the Turkish Riviera, as the coast is also known. Situated in a cliff overlooking the sea, the city is quite beautiful and inviting, with winding Ottoman style streets, particularly in the old quarter of Kaleiçi. Aside from Antalya, the seaside cities of Kemer, Ölüdeniz and Fethiye have postcard-pretty beaches that promise endless fun in sun and surf. For those raring for some adventure, the small town of Olimpos near Kemer has Lycian ruins, accommodations on tree houses, isolated beach and mysterious flames that erupt from the hillside. The town is a popular beehive of backpackers as it has a very lively social scene despite the spartan offerings. Many come here just to drink away the time at the backpackers establishments, just the perfect way to end your fairytale journey.

Lanzarote is the most easterly link in the Canary Islands chain. And is located around seventy miles off the west coast of Africa – relatively close to what was once, many years ago, the enclave of the Spanish Sahara.

Just like this near neighbour Lanzarote has a very dry and arid climate, characterised by very low rainfall – on average just 9mm a month. With temperatures maintaining a minimum of around 20c all year round. Two factors which help to make Lanzarote a popular year round holiday destination too.

The UK is Lanzarote´s largest market place and the island is especially popular with British tourists. Who take advantage of cheap flights to Lanzarote to flock to this small speck of Spain in serious numbers. This year alone for example over 800,000 British tourists are expected to enjoy a holiday on the island. Along with around 200,000 visitors from the Irish Republic.

Lanzarote has enjoyed a number of unusual appellations over the years. It was once thought to be part of the lost continent of Atlantis. Whilst during the Middle Ages it was known as one of the Fortunate Islands – due to this great year round climate that is often likened to an eternal Spring.

Today though Lanzarote is best known as the Island of Fire. An appellation created by the six year long volcanic eruptions which engulfed the island backing 1730. Burying around one quarter of Lanzarote beneath a sea of molten lava. These eruptions caused widespread devastation and forced many islanders to flee altogether. Heading for new locations such as Latin America and Cuba.

Ironically the Fire Mountains of the Timanfaya National Park are today Lanzarote´s number one attraction. Drawing around one million visitors every year. Who are enthralled by the eerie moon like appearance of the terrain. Other key attractions include the Jameos del Agua and the Mirador del Rio. Tourist sites which were developed by the island born artist and architect Cesar Manrique.

Thanks to Manrique Lanzarote has a lot more to offer tourists than just water parks and golf courses alone – as is so often the case in other Spanish sunspots. And allied with great year round weather these factors have helped to encourage many visitors to invest in the Lanzarote property market. Enabling them to rent their villa or apartment out to tourists or enjoy it for their own holidays.

When it comes to romantic destinations, the more exotic it is, the better bet it is for you and your lovey to choose as a destination for a romantic getaway. When a place is interesting and has so many facets for you and your lovey to explore, it will definitely worth what you can spend on travel costs.

And yet, a truly satisfying romantic getaway need not have you maxing out credit cards, putting bank accounts in the red, or worse, robbing banks. A truly satisfying getaway entails wise decision-making, along with a wise choice of a destination. Without either, you better just stay at home, curling in front of a fireplace in winter, or lounging by a local lake in summer.

But if you’re bent on going someplace other than your usual haunts, your sweetie may need more convincing than the pretty kakapo that you’re trying to get her to warm up to fly halfway around the world to see. You have to entice her with the Kiwi bird! Or the ancient frogs! Or the ancient M ori people!

Or…

You can entice her with a great experience with these and the other sights and sounds that New Zealand has to offer, and throw in a way to save money in the basket.

You can slash off so much of your budget if you just used Budget Backpacker Hostels discount cards. In order to stretch your budget, you have to pinch pennies everywhere. While a Budget Backpacker Hostel discount card roughly costs the same as a night in a BBH member hostel, it is still wiser to get a BBH Hostel card because:

• It comes with $20 worth of phone credits, to call you parents or anyone else in case of emergencies.
• If you’re staying at least 2 weeks in New Zealand, you would have been able to recover your BBH discount card investment already. If not, when you come back to New Zealand, you would still be able to use your card anyway, and thus recover your investment.
• The BBH Club Card/discount card lets you have discounts in other establishments, especially in tourist attractions, also.

The BBH discount card would help you and your honey enjoy your vacation together maximally, by keeping money worries at bay. Enjoy a trip to New Zealand! Get a BBH Club Card today!

How To Plan A Romantic Oahu Getaway

Have you and your romantic partner recently decided that a getaway is what you need? If you have, please give Oahu a close look. One of the many reasons why Oahu is a popular vacation destination is because of the beauty of Hawaii. That beauty is known to help create romance, which is just what you and your partner may need.

As previously stated, the beauty of Oahu is known for creating a romantic environment. In fact, that is why many individuals plan destination weddings in Hawaii. Despite the fact that Oahu is filled with beauty that often translates into a romantic environment, there are still a number of steps that you will want to take. These steps will help to ensure that your next romantic trip to Oahu is all that it can be.

One of the first things that you will want to do, when looking to plan a romantic trip to Oahu, is make your travel plans. In fact, the sooner the better. By making your Oahu travel plans well in advance, you are likely to feel more comfortable and less stressed. This is because you know, ahead of time, that all of your travel plans are well in place. This can help you have a better trip.

As for your travel plans, it is important to examine all aspects of your trip, but you will want to place your main focus on your overnight accommodations. Those seeking romance, such as yourself, are encouraged to examine Oahu vacation rentals. These rentals include Oahu vacation homes, condos, apartment rentals, villas, and cottages. When compared to most hotels and vacation resorts, rentals are more private and better for creating a romantic environment.

Although your chances of having a romantic trip to Oahu increase with a vacation rental stay, you will still want to choose your Oahu vacation rental wisely. For example, be sure to examine features. When browsing through all available Oahu vacation rentals, you will find that most come with internet access, television access, and fully furnished rooms. These features are often considered essentials, but you will want to look for the non-essentials, especially those that can help in the romance department. Extra vacation rental features that you will want to have include a swimming pool, hot tub, or an amazing view.

When looking to book a stay at an Oahu vacation rental for your next romantic getaway, size should also be examined. Oahu vacation rentals come in a number of different formats and sizes. Typically speaking, you will find that Oahu condos are smaller than villa rentals. At least make sure that you choose a vacation rental that allows you to stay and relax in comfort. Rentals that are too small in size will likely result in a cramped space, which will not help to create a romantic environment.

When examining Oahu vacation rentals, location is another factor that should be examined. If you already know what you want to do and see, choose a vacation rental that is conveniently located. Even if you have yet to decide on activities and attractions, use your best judgment. For example, beach activities, such as snorkeling, scuba diving, or boating, may call for a beachfront vacation rental. On the other hand, if you prefer to sightsee inland or enjoy a hiking adventure, Oahu vacation rentals that are located inland may be your best option. Conveniently located vacation rentals should reduce travel times, as well as stress levels.

In addition to making arrangements for an Oahu vacation rental, you will also want to examine car rentals and airline reservations. Car rentals are optional, but many tourists prefer them, as they are private and they give vacationers the freedom to come and go as they please. Luxury car rentals are ideal for those on romantic getaways, such as yourself. As for your Hawaii airline reservations, if you are able to afford the cost of first class seats, you will want to do so. Flying first class is a great way to ensure that your romantic trip to Oahu is off to a good start.

As outlined above, there are a number of steps that you can take to ensure that your next romantic trip to Oahu is as romantic as possible. Since choosing the perfect Oahu vacation rental is an important component, be sure to examine HawaiianBeachRentals.com today.

Let Hawaiian Beach Rentals help you plan your next romantic trip to Oahu. They list a large selection of affordable, yet luxury Oahu vacation rentals. Make your Oahu travel plans with them today.

How can you Ever Plan a Successful Romantic Getaway? Men and Women are too Different!

Gals, do you sometimes feel that the only way you can really get close to your guy is to gulp down booze while you cuddle up to him on the sofa and watch sports on TV? Guys, do you envision a room full of perfumed candles, sentimental music, and hours of effort as the only way to get your gal in the mood? Are these impressions real – or stereotypes?

Guess what?

Many guys don’t really care all that much about sports. They watch the big game (and enjoy it), but sometimes their sports interest is sparked by boredom or a quest for subject matter to discuss with the guys at work. They would rather go to a museum opening or on a wine-tasting tour. (Remember ‘Frasier’?) Some men are invigorated by a debate or an argument with an intelligent woman – followed by a particularly ardent reconciliation afterwards.

Many women nowadays are actually so busy (and tired) that they don’t want to spend hours being romanced. They may be particularly receptive to seemingly mild love scenes during a TV program – or a thoughtful gesture, like her guy remembering the anniversary of their first kiss with a single rose.

You can’t peghole anyone. We are all different.

While planning a romantic getaway together, you and your partner should be prepared to make some concessions to the other person’s likes and dislikes. It is highly unlikely that you will agree on everything.

If one of you likes camping, but the other doesn’t, perhaps a backpacking trip would be ideal. You can spend days in the great outdoors – and nights in a romantic cabin with strawberries and chocolate sauce in the refrigerator, truffles on the bed, and heated Jacuzzi on the back deck. Relax in front of a real fireplace while you feed one another strawberries. You can practice your massage skills in the Jacuzzi by soothing those tired hiking muscles.

If you are flying to Vegas because one of you likes gambling, plan to tour the M+M and Coca Cola factories. Travel the show circuit and watch fantastic entertainers like Cirque du Soleil, famous singers, and extraordinary magic acts. Perhaps spend an evening strolling hand-in-hand down the strip, gazing at the lights and hotels along the way. [Editor's Note: If you want to have a great time in Las Vegas, be sure to pick up a copy of this guide that has insider tips and tricks to make the most out of your romantic Vegas getaway. It's going for 50% off for a limited time!]

The locale of a romantic getaway is not nearly as important as the company and ambiance. Treat one another with love and respect before, during, and after your getaway. Don’t be afraid to show a bit of affection in public – perhaps holding hands, whispering sweet nothings to one another, and silently mouthing ‘I love you’ from across the table during supper. Order one dessert and two forks or one milkshake with two straws. Talk about something that won’t provoke a disagreement. Avoid topics like work, relatives, kids (if you have them), and household renovations.

Every romantic getaway is a product of thoughtful planning and respect for your partner’s desires. It is not a place or an activity, but a state of mind that can continue into every day of the year.
