Beaches have their own special properties, unique characteristics. Visiting
St. Peter Ording on the North Sea Coast Germany, a visitor would be hard
pressed to miss what makes this wide coastal landscape distinctive, the feeling
of landing on another planet. In a few moments the weather changes from bright

Gallipoli, the Italian city on the peninsula’s heal may not be the most well traversed destination in the Latin Country, but that maybe be a good thing. Located on the Ionian Coast, the historical city offers a coast of crystal clear water along with beach weather until November. That part shocked me!
