Santorini is one of the Cycladic islands that was created when a volcano erupted. Some people say this is the famous island of Atlantis. The island has a versatile landscape with lush beaches, small white villages and steep rock. Santorini is a group of islands that are formed in a circle about 10 kilometers across. Settlements have been scattered across the islands as a series of tiny villages. There are famous white buildings that are huddled close to each other. This is definitely a must see. Hiking paths and trails are all over!

This is mysterious and towering. The Pyramids of the Sun and Moon rise above Teotihuacán. This is an empty city that once had two hundred thousand people. By A.D 750, it had been abandoned, perhaps because of a drought or a disaster. Five hundred years later, the Aztecs found it. Truly, this place is a must see.

Machu Picchu is the lost city floating in a kingdom of clouds. It is a mysterious settlement that the Incas constructed. It was lived in and deserted in less than one century. For hundreds of years, this city was hidden away in a jungle. Then, during the year 1911, Hira Bingham took a expedition to the Peruvian Andes. This is where he met a farmer that guided him to the ruins of the hidden city. This is the city that has not been destroyed or looted before.

This is probably the most recognizable temple to be found in Japan. It has been covered in gold. The Golden Pavilion shines in the light. It looks as if it is a beautiful jewelry box. During the 1950’s, a Buddhist temple novice who was disturbed burned this fourteenth century pavilion down. After five years, this lovely Pavilion rose again.

An American psychic, Edgar Cayce had predicted that evidence of Atlantis (the lost continent) would show up in the Bahamas in either the year 1968 or 1969. During the year 1968, pilots had photographed structures that looked a lot like roads, buildings and walls under the waters of Bimini Island. Other individuals have claimed that they saw what looked like stone circles and pyramids on the sea bed down there. What has been concerned is the Bimini road. It is unique and there are no denying that they are straight and look like they are manmade.

You see, here, we do not have the common places to visit, such as Florida, the Philippines and Paris, we have unique places, such as The Road to Atlantis and the Stonehenge. These are all sights that you just have to see before you die! Do you have anything to add to this list?
