This sprawling palace complex, with its labyrinthine streets, ancient walls, and grand Peristyle courtyard, is not just a historical site but a bustling part of the city’s daily life.
Mossel Bay
Halfway between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth in the heart of the famous Garden Route, nestles the seaside town of Mossel Bay. A bustling holiday resort in summer and the ideal retreat in winter, it is situated on a spectacular sunwashed peninsula embraced by the warm Indian Ocean. Also called the "Karoo-by-the-Sea town", Mossel Bay features in the Guiness Book of Records as having the mildest all-year climate in the world, second only to Hawaii.
Limassol
Cut length wise by the Turkish/Greek border, the island of Cyprus leads two lives. The Turkish side is traditional and Islamic, while the Greek side is a very modern vacation destination.
Calvinia
Calvinia is a small town in the Northern Cape’s Hantam Karoo, surrounded by a dry landscape of wide plains, rocky hills, and hardy shrubs. It serves as a regional centre for farming communities and is particularly associated with sheep farming and the production of Karoo wool. The town lies beneath the Hantam Mountain, a prominent local landmark that rises above the surrounding plains.
