Travelling to historical locations usually broadens one's understanding. In actuality, this is how you learn about real-world situations. I, therefore, enjoy travelling and would like to go to Amritsar to see the Great historical places in the city

Some of the interesting facts that made me wish to go there are related to history. The city is historically rich. Amritsar, one of the cleanest cities, is well known for the Golden Temple, also known as the Harmandir Sahib Gurudwara - the most sacred Gurdwara. Guru-vaani may be heard emanating from the Gurudwaras.

It is encircled by the holy Amrit Sarovar pond (water), where pilgrims take baths. Along with the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, this location is well-known for being close to the Wagah Border. Also well-known is the cuisine of Amritsar.

A spell is further created on the guest by the filling cuisine and the abundant servings of famed Punjabi hospitality. Amritsar, one of India's cities with the highest agricultural productivity, has good transportation links to the majority of the country's major cities.

Though I am a Punjabi, I have lived in a different city. Never in my life have I got a chance to visit the city. I have heard about it so much from my cousins and friends that even now I want to see it. It is not only this but also the culture.

The Punjabi dance, food, phulkari, wadiyan that it offers is world famous. The reason that I want to go there is to witness all these through my eyes. It is not just these, there are other things too like durgyana temple, and different Museums.

I have always enjoyed travelling, especially to new sites that are close to the river, sea, or ocean. So, a few locations from around the globe have now earned a spot on my trip wish list. The Greek island of Santorini is one such location that I'd like to visit when the perfect occasion and travel companion present themselves.

Santorini, also known as Thira, is a volcanic island encircled by the southern Aegean Sea that is renowned for its dramatic scenery, breathtaking sunsets from Oia Town, the blue-green waters around Fira, the Venetian Castle in Akrotiri, and the breathtaking views from the tower La Ponta.

In addition, there are stunning beaches that are found in their natural state, such Kamari's black pebble beach and Perissa's beach. Along with the aforementioned famous tourist destinations, the island's active volcano draws visitors as well.

I used to spend the most of my leisure time in the school library. So, one day, as I was reading a trip magazine, I came across a gorgeous location with cube-shaped white houses and a blue-green sea all around. I was initially intrigued by the gorgeous pictures that were printed on the book's pages. That was my first time to watch Santorini, and ever since, I have been in awe of those pictures.

I'm a travel enthusiast, but I also adore Greek history. One of the five Cycladic islands, this island is the subject of several myths. For instance, many people think that Santorini was the first location of the lost city of Atlantis, which vanished into the ocean's depths.

The popular cruises, vineyard tours, and boat excursions sound like fun, too. I'm compelled to visit this beautiful island because of the candy-colored houses that line the cliffs, the crystal-clear ocean, the serene beaches, and the kaleidoscope sunsets. Now that I am married, surely greek holidays are top on my list.
