🥇 Izmir - Foça seaside town - historical and touristic travel article by @hairofmedusa

In ancient times there were very skilled sailors in this area. And these people were known as phokaians. They have established very important colonies. And this is an Ionian settlement. In fact, there is a lot of historical information that can be given in this section. But this information is about Phokaians. As a result, they have beautiful colonies and towns. And Foça is one of the most important centers in the world in terms of archeology.

🥈 Germany's Romantic Road: Rothenburg ob der Tauber by @leaky20

There are a couple of really unique and interesting buildings within the old city that are worth checking out. One of these buildings is the Gerlachschmiede blacksmith forge that is pictured above.The building has a distinctly steep gabled roof and dates back to the year 1469. Something of note is that the building was destroyed in a bombing raid during WWII. It was rebuilt shortly thereafter in 1948.Another thing that is interesting about this home is that there is actually a cuckoo clock design that is specifically based this home.

🥉 Tingko Beach Alkoy Cebu Philippines (White Sand Paradise) by @gohenry

This little hut on the big rock is a signature spot to identify that you are in Tingko beach. As you can check online, this famous spot will appear. On my way to it, I made my own point of view on how old and modern merged as one. Despite of the new concept of ideas people are into like building or renovating resorts to attract people, they still preserved this hut which shows a kind of Filipino culture in a way where and how we lived in the past years but these huts still appear mostly in the provinces because aside from less expensive to build, we find it way firm and comfy breathing the fresh air from the beach.
