I am twelve but I have already visited three countries.
My first journey abroad was to Turkey. Turkey is a country on the south
of Europe. It is located between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. I went
to Antalya, a very popular city on the south of Turkey. Its population is over
one million people and in summer it increases to two million people. It is
because of the fact the Antalya is not very expensive but well known resort.
There is an international airport, a lot of entertaining centers, some aqua
parks, great amount of hotels, disco clubs, restaurants and many other places
for tourists in Antalya. I stayed there for two weeks. During this period of
time I visited such places of interest as Archeological Museum, National Park "Duden
Waterfalls” and other interesting places. But the main thing is that I swam in
the sea a lot and had a good rest.
The second country which I have visited is Greece or more exactly Island
Rhodes. This island was inhabited from ancient times and it is considered to be
one of the oldest and the most attended islands in the world. It was named so
because there was one of the seven wonders of the ancient world – the Colossus
of Rhodes, the statue of the Greek Titan Helios.
It was a statue of 37 meters in height which was destructed by an earthquake. I saw a wonderful sight - Butterfly Lane, the
place where one hundred different butterflies fly together to the flavor of pitch
of the trees which grow there. I went on excursions on Rhodes, sunbathed and
swam in the sea. I tasted Greek cuisine, very delicious. It was an unforgettable
trip.
One more country which I have visited is Bulgaria. This country is very
popular among the Russians. I was in Burgas. This city is on the bank of the
Black Sea. It is famous for its mineral therapeutic mud –
baths and a lot of
tourists take them. I saw a lot of interesting historical and natural
beauties -
Nature Reserve "Pod”, the area in which one can watch hundreds of bird
species, Ruins of the Pingos Castle. I stayed for two weeks in
Burgas. We lived in Granny’s flat. We walked a lot around the city,
visited
museums, parks, cafes and other places of interest. We had a lot of good
time
near the sea – we swam and enjoyed ourselves.
My dream is to visit many other countries of the world. It is so
interesting!
