15# Kranj, Slovenia
Our lovely home town belongs on this list too! Okay, it's not as famous as Lake Bled or Ljubljana, but that doesn't mean it's less worth your time. What we like about Kranj is the impressive historical centre, the little colourful houses, narrow streets, local shops AND - it is surrounded by lots of nature (check out the blog post here)! It's actually a great basis if you want to hike the surrounding hills, visit the lakes Bled and Bohinj, explore the capital city Ljubljana etc. Check out the accommodation here:

With only 4900 inhabitants, Nordeste is a really small town in the Azores. We found the town very impressive with all the white houses, decorated with lots of flowers, romantic bridges etc. wonderful town worth to stop by. If you need a 7-day itinerary for your trip to the Azores, here it is.
17# Teguise, Lanzarote, Canary Islands
Teguise is a small town on the Canary Island called Lanzarote. We haven't really heard about it, so we actually just stumbled upon it and it was a very nice surprise. The cuteness is unreal!

Albanian Cities (Wednesday, 16 October 2019 15:40)
Another small town in Europe is Kruja in Albania. The old baazar of Kruja will really leave you speechless. It is small but it holds so much culture. The people are great, they are friendly and all of them carry a little piece of history which can’t wait to share.

Am here to appreciate Dr.Timothy for using his herbal medicine to cure my Herpes virus. since 2016 i have been living with this virus and it has been giving me challenges, I was so perplexed cause i have been taking several drugs to be cured but all of my effort was in vain, one evening i was browsing through the internet then i saw several testimonies about Dr.Timothy curing people from Herpes virus and immediately i contacted his email address i told him about my sickness and he told me that i will be cured within 2 weeks he gave me some instructions and which i rightly followed. so he prepared a herbal medicine for me and sent it to me which i used for 2 weeks and everything was like a dream to me and my Herpes virus was totally gone why don't you contact Dr.Timothy he is very good and honest. contact him via email address; goodhealthherbalfoundation@yahoo.com OR website https://5dc41d5b6d60d.site123.me

My name is Tom Peacock from USA, I want to say thank you to Dr Emu for the good thing he has done for me, Though am not sure if this is the best forum to show my joy and happiness for what he has done for me but i can't hide my happiness and my joy so i have to share it with people, my marriage got crashed about two years ago and i tried all i could within my power but to no avail. I saw a post and testimonial about the good things Dr Emu has been doing so I decided to give it a try. though he is always a busy man but when he responded back to my email, he gave me 48 hours for my marriage to be restored really just like he said my marriage was restored since then I am happy and i am living happily i am so grateful to Dr Emu you can always email him here: {emutemple@gmail.com} or WhatsApp: {+2347012841542}

I was really stressed by Acid reflux issues with my newborn and had consulted Chief Dr Lucky. He gave us a thorough consultation and the medicines were equally effective. In a couple of weeks there was big improvement in my son and we are very pleased with the progress. We cannot thank Chief Dr Lucky enough. Highly recommended.
