Cappadocia
Cappadocia is in Central Anatolia, between the mountains Erciyes, Melendiz and Hasan. It is famous for its underground cities, fairy chimneys, and caves. The landscape of the area is some of the most unique you'll ever see. The fairy chimneys are bizarrely shaped rock outcroppings that have evolved from the unique geography in the area. There are hiking trails through the series of valleys that make up the area. It's a great place to explore for outdoor enthusiasts and adventure seekers.
Glencoe
Glencoe is a picturesque valley in the western highlands of Scotland that has grown to fame due to its incredible natural beauty. The valley has been the setting for many films over the years, including Monty Python and Harry Potter, because of its fantastic scenery that you can explore yourself on a trip through the valley. Whether or not you're a movie buff, everyone can enjoy the landscapes carved out by ancient volcanoes and the activities that go along with it! During the winter, from November to March, the valley is usually covered in snow and tends to stay in the 30's Fahrenheit. Summer, from June to September, is great for hiking the valley and exploring as temperatures are in the 60's Fahrenheit.
