Turkey
Highlights West Turkey
Highlights on paper, like Troy and Pamukkale are disappointing in reality, but there is much to make up for that: Greek and Roman archeological sites in Ephesus, Pergamon and Hierapolis, the famous mosques and Topkapi palace in Istanbul, Ottoman buildings in Bursa and the crusaders castle in beach resort Bodrum, from where it's only one hour by boat to the Greek island of Kos. 30 photos.

Cuba
Bicycle vacation Cuba
These two bicycle routes take you through a large part of Cuba. The mountainous Tobacco Route (427 km) leads from Havana to the Sierra del Rosario in the western province of Piñar del Rio, via Playa el Salado, Las Terrazas, Soroa, Pinar del Rio, Viñales and Canabas. The Salsa Route (830 km) also starts in Havana, but takes you through the flatter, central part of Cuba, along Matanzas, Cienfuegos and Varadero. 29 photos.

Nepal
Ganesh Himal Trek
Climbing stairs and rocks, hiking over terraces and in the jungle, crossing suspension bridges over rivers and canyons, walking through the clouds above 4,000 meters toward snowy peaks. On high mountain passes the tent is covered in ice when it freezes over ten degrees centigrade at night. The Ganesh Himal Trek is tough, but an unforgettable experience. 23 photos.

Italy
Rome & Roma extra muros
Rome is an interesting city with many sights, but it is also worthwhile to explore the city outside its walls: you'll find interesting archeological sites there too, often in arcadic landscapes. In the Tivoli Hills and in Ostia Antica the Roman era comes alive, just like on the Via Appia. In Cerveteri, with its Etruscan tombs, you go even farther back in time. 28 photos.

Morocco
Highlights of Moroccoo
After the palaces, parks, mosques, squares, souks, medinas, walls and impressive gates of the royal cities Marrakech, Rabat, Meknès, Fès and port town Casablanca follow the woods and rough canyons of the Atlas Mountains and the sand dunes, oases and mud cashbahs of the Sahara. From Zagora, the gate to the desert, it's still 52 days to Timbuktu... by camel! 57 photos.
