Here’s 6 places that have made our lust list:

1. Kotor, Montenegro

With views that look like they’ve come right out of a postcard, Kotor definitely has one of the most impressive landscapes in the Balkans. This coastal town nestled among steep mountains offers endless views of limestone cliffs, turquoise waters and mazes of medieval streets to get lost through. Come sun down, hike to the top of the medieval fortress for one of the most stunning and romantic sunsets with endless views across the fjord.

3. Chiang Mai, Thailand 

Although Chiang Mai itself is a fascinating city to explore, one of the key reasons to visit is for the elephant sanctuaries! For obvious reasons, the Elephant EcoValley park has won over the hearts of travellers, providing sanctuary, rescue and rehabilitation for elephants. Not only will you be able to admire these fascinating creatures, but you will get to feed them yourself and play with them as they splash around in the mud bath. It’s easy to see why this is a highlight for many, as you’re guaranteed to be in awe!
