Cappadocia is a living demonstration of the strange beauty that exists in the natural world. It presents a fantasy-like landscape that looks like it's been plucked out of a fairy tale, alien-like hills and boulders that seem as if they've been transported from another planet. Humans who once inhabited this area dug into the soft stone here to construct underground dwellings, leaving behind a plethora of bizarre man-made structures.
The lunar landscape is stunning on its own, but the countless hot-air balloons that fill up the sky with shades of red, yellow, orange and cream simply take its beauty to the next level. Highlights of Cappadocia include the Goreme Open Air Museum with its rock-cut churches and the underground marvels of Kaymakli.

What makes this location special is the way every angle contradicts the next. Trolltunga, which towers over Ringedalsvatnet Lake by some 700 meters, is one of Norway's most famous natural attractions. Trolltunga, at the edge of the Hardangervidda plateau in western Norway, was shaped by the icecap that once covered much of Scandinavia.

It is the largest archaeological site in Greece, and as such, it has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The 24 monasteries that were originally constructed on the nearly inaccessible sandstone towers of Meteora in the 11th century are now home to only 4. You won't find a more otherworldly scene than this collection of massive rock pillars topped with monasteries anywhere else on Earth.

| Should you fly right now? It all depends on what you decide. Just remember to factor in the potential consequences. If you're sick or at higher risk for the coronavirus, it is probably best to stay on the ground. The same goes for anyone else who wants to tag along on your trip. Dr. Khabbaza advises that, when deciding whether or not to fly, passengers should consider their own "level of risk tolerance" in light of the local rates of COVID-19 at both their origin and destination airports. "If you do choose to fly, it can be done safely by sticking to the basics." |
