Durban is a big subtropical city in the north-eastern province of KwaZulu/Natal. It has been a major port since the 1850s and is home to the largest concentration of Indian-descended people in the country - Mohandas Gandhi arrived here as an indentured labourer in 1893. Today the city is better known as a holiday-makers' fun parlour with a happening nightlife.

Passau sits on the confluence of the Danube, the Inn and the Ilz, so it is fitting that it is known as "the Dreiflüssestadt", which means the “City of Three Rivers.” The historical center offers a cathedral, churches and museums to explore, and the embankment is perfect for a romantic stroll.

Koloa sits on Kauai’s south shore and holds a special place in Hawaiian history as the site of the islands’ first successful sugar plantation.

Argostoli sits on the west coast of Kefalonia, Greece’s largest Ionian Island, where a natural harbor meets the Koutavos Lagoon and a waterfront lined with cafés, tavernas, and shops. As the island’s capital, Argostoli blends everyday island life with moments of surprise, from sea turtles surfacing by fishing boats at dawn to historic sites hidden among palm trees and pedestrian streets.
