				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The smallest one along the Baltic countries Estonia, although not  yet discovered by most people, has both cultural and natural beauties inside with its mixture of seasides towns, country villages and forests. With its historic places like churches and castles you will have a little trip to 14th century and you should experience the nightlife while you have the chance.</p>
<p>For the ones who are planning to go to Estonia but not sure which city will give the must pleasure, we put the cities in order according to the love-types:</p>

<p>Parnu is the same Word used for “fun in the sun” and with its golden sand beaches, parks and historical centre, it deserves this name.</p>
<p><strong>Saaremaa, for the ones who loves islands</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://galahotels.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/3617-saaremaa_estonia_europe_01-01-2012_3.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-811" title="3617-Saaremaa_Estonia_Europe_01.01.2012_3" src="http://galahotels.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/3617-saaremaa_estonia_europe_01-01-2012_3.jpg?w=300&#038;h=225" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>

<p>Lahemaa, “Land of bays”, is the perfect place for the nature lovers in Estonia with its Brown bear, wolf and lynx. The pleasant guesthouses, 18th century manors (restored) and the campsites by the seaside are the options to stay there.</p>
<p><strong>Muhu, for the ones who love Luxury</strong></p>
<p>Muhu is where you can find the most luxurious places to stay in Estonia. You can either stay in a restored manor house or a carriage house with cinema and spa center inside. With its spa places and fine restaurants you will have the luxury in restored historical places.</p>

<p><strong>Crac des Chevaliers, Syria</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://galahotels.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/crac-des-chevaliers-syria.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-769" title="crac des chevaliers syria" src="http://galahotels.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/crac-des-chevaliers-syria.jpg?w=300&#038;h=200" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>This <a href="http://www.galahotels.com/en/Destination/Hotels/Syrian_arab_republic_218/Tartous_20549">castle</a> migh be over 700 years old but unlike most of the fortress of its age, it stands tight and storng as new. Its outer walls are tick and seperated from the miniworld with its baths, hall and chapel inside. Only way to see the ageing of this hilltop fortress is the plants that covers the walls but it is taken care of very attentively.</p>
<p><strong>Museu Oscar Niemeyer, Brazil</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://galahotels.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/museu-oscar-niemeyer-brazil.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-770" title="museu oscar niemeyer brazil" src="http://galahotels.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/museu-oscar-niemeyer-brazil.jpg?w=300&#038;h=199" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a></p>

<p><strong>Aya Sofya, Turkey</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://galahotels.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/aya-sofya-turkey.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-771" title="aya sofya turkey" src="http://galahotels.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/aya-sofya-turkey.jpg?w=300&#038;h=225" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>

The lower part of the dome is rolled by window so it looks as if its hover above the building while standing in the building.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Who said that the honeymoon always has to include roses and champaigns with romantic songs? It should be the most delightful time of your life. So here is a place that you can not only have romantic time but also discover the interesting and adventurous places.</p>
<p><strong>Riviera Maya</strong><br />
Riviera Maya, also known as Mayan Riviera, is the place you can have fun, romantic time and also adventure. The temperature is mostly around 24–25 °C (75–77 °F) and generally between January and February there is the North wind called El Norte. As the place is on the coast side you can relax in the cold turquois water, under the warm sun. But for the ones who want more than that, the Mayan world is waiting for you to discover and there is not a better place for diving and fishing than Caribbean Sea. If you decided to spend your honeymoon in Riviera Maya, here’s the <a href="http://www.galahotels.com/Hotels/Mexico/Riviera_Maya.aspx" target="_blank">best deals</a> for hotels.</p>
<p><a href="http://galahotels.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/yucatan_001u.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-752" title="yucatan_001u" src="http://galahotels.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/yucatan_001u.jpg?w=300&#038;h=223" alt="" width="300" height="223" /></a></p>
<p>You can relax in the stunning blue water of the Caribbean Sea.<span id="more-750"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://galahotels.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/yucatan_025u.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-751" title="yucatan_025u" src="http://galahotels.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/yucatan_025u.jpg?w=300&#038;h=239" alt="" width="300" height="239" /></a></p>
<p>You can climb the almost 140 feet high pyramid of Nohoch-Mul (big hill).</p>
<p><a href="http://galahotels.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/2ojosmed.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-753" title="2ojosmed" src="http://galahotels.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/2ojosmed.jpg?w=300&#038;h=203" alt="" width="300" height="203" /></a></p>
<p>Riviera Maya has amazing caverns where the approximate depth is 10 meters (345 feet) so diving would be easy and enjoyable.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now it is time to shake off the cold and dark bitterness of winter and embrase the warm, shiny, happy mood of summer. And as we’ve been halfway through the May, it is the perfect time to plan your summer vacations that most of you, especially children, have been waiting for. In order to help you to make up your mind about your summer vacation or spend nice time without any suprises, we’ll talk about the most popular places including their specialities. So if you haven’t made up your mind or don’t have a clue about the place you’ll go, ı hope these series of blogs that we’ll write in the forthcoming days will help you to spend wonderful days.</p>
<p><strong>Disneyland, Anaheim, California</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://galahotels.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/new_main_image_cropped1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-720" title="new_main_image_cropped" src="https://galahotels.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/new_main_image_cropped1.jpg?w=300&#038;h=188" alt="" width="300" height="188" /></a>For more than 50 years, Disneyland has been a place for people to have fun without any concern as the sign of the entrance says “Here you leave today and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow and fantasy”. You may have visited the other Disneylands also but seeing the original will beat the others and not only the children but also you will not want to leave and spend more time with Mickey. Along with the live characters, you will also thirlled and maybe terrified while sailing into Jungle Cruise, climbing into Tarzan’s Treehouse or ride into the Rollercoasters. You might not want to waste your precious time on the way to Disneyland, well don&#8217;t worry there are lots <a href="http://www.galahotels.com/cityhotels.aspx?ID=22439" target="_blank">hotels</a> nearby.<span id="more-717"></span></p>
<p>If you don’t want to spend your whole time in Disneyland you might consider visitng the amazing spots in <a href="http://www.galahotels.com/cityhotels.aspx?ID=26141" target="_blank">Orlando</a>, Florida:</p>
<p><strong>SeaWorld Adventure Park Orlando</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://galahotels.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/seaworldorlando40033301.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-730" title="SeaworldOrlando4003330" src="https://galahotels.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/seaworldorlando40033301.jpg?w=298&#038;h=169" alt="" width="298" height="169" /></a></p>
<p>If the advanture in Disneyland wasn’t enough for you, our advice is to visit “SeaWorld Adventure Park Orlando” because  you can ride the Kraken and the Journey to Atlantis. Or watch the shows like &#8220;Blue Horizons&#8221; or &#8220;Reflections&#8221;.</p>
<p><strong>Universal Orlando Resort</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://galahotels.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/universal_studios_limo_orange_county_21.jpg"><img class="alignright  wp-image-724" title="universal_studios_limo_orange_county_2" src="https://galahotels.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/universal_studios_limo_orange_county_21.jpg?w=149&#038;h=103" alt="" width="149" height="103" /></a>Or you might consider visiting the fantastic world of different movies in “Universal Orlando Resort”. You can actually see the backstage of the movies you like as The Revenge of the Mummy, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Beetlejuice and more but we must warn you: you will not watch the movies again as you used to.</p>
<p><strong>Gatorland</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://galahotels.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/big_poppa3.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-728" title="big_poppa" src="https://galahotels.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/big_poppa3.jpg?w=149&#038;h=94" alt="" width="149" height="94" /></a></p>
<p>You might want to see the crocodiles, toads, turtles, snakes and more while you are visiting California.<br />
<br />  </br><br />
<br />  </br><br />
<strong>Wet &#8216;n Wild</strong></p>
<p>Wet’n Wild is considered as one of the important water park in United States.</p>
<p><a href="https://galahotels.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/wakeboarding1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-732" title="wakeboarding" src="https://galahotels.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/wakeboarding1.jpg?w=268&#038;h=154" alt="" width="268" height="154" /></a></p>
<p>If you&#8217;re not planning a summer vacation like that, then you should wait for our other posts to decide.</p>
