How would you like to stay at a hotel that is a huge cruise ship, on dry land, perched on a cliff overlooking the ocean in South Korea? Or have a meal at a Philippine restaurant at the bottom of a water fall with your feet resting in the water? Or watch a movie from a floating cinema in Thailand? We’ve got all this, plus places of beautiful or exotic nature and human ingenuity.

![When most people think of Greece, they think of the Acropolis in Athens or maybe the Temple of Delphi. Those places are certainly great, but for me, when I think of Greece I now think of Meteora. The Greek Orthodox monasteries in the region are all jaw-dropping. You canít help but wonder how the world the monasteries were built, let alone how someone was able to climb up on to the rocks to begin with. Meteora is a must-see for people visiting Greece and want to get out of Athens.](http://www.duskyswondersite.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/vaca-varlaam-monastery-Meteora-greece_91545_990x742.jpg)
