Subject: {Desi_Pardesi} 10 Island Cities That Float Like Boats
To:
*10 Island Cities That Float Like Boats *
*Most cities these days are so large and endless that they blend into each
other, so that you can't be sure whether you are still in the city or not.
But with these amazing island cities, that can never be the case, given
that they are naturally ringed by lakes and seas. So if you fancy a proper
city break where you can safely say you've seen the whole place, and you
love to be near the water, I don't think you will find 10 better choices
than these boat-like cities: *
<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/kutefun/join>
*1. Nesebar, Bulgaria *
[image: www.funmag.org]
*Our first port of call is the wonderful 'Pearl of the Black Sea' city of
Nesebar in Bulgaria, a country too often overlooked. In Bulgaria everything
is cheap, except the quality as you can see from this stunning island,
joined to the mainland by only a narrow causeway built by men during the
city's rich and long history. The island is full of superb holy churches,
which echo their periodic bell peals out over the deep sea.*
*2. Lindau, Germany *
[image: www.funmag.org]
*You can see why Lindau, which borders Austria, Switzerland and Germany, is
such a popular tourist attraction. Floating in Lake Constance, the island
is joined to Germany only by a bridge and railway. Imagine taking a train
journey to this wonderful little world. This to me is a perfect
representation of Northern European prettiness.*
*3. Santa Cruz del Islote, Colombia *
[image: www.funmag.org]
*Even though this town covers just a hectare of space, some 1,200 people
reside in Santa Cruz, making it surely one of the most crowded pieces of
land on the entire plant. Obviously the Colombians on the mainland all had
the same idea when they noticed this jewel in the Caribbean. So, if you
will be making a trip here, perhaps you'd best way 'til you see someone
foolishly depart from the island - then you can take their place while they
are gone!*
*4. Isola dei Pescatori, Italy *
[image: www.funmag.org]
*This island is perhaps not a city, though it does have permanent residents
and two thriving industries: fishing and tourism. Resting in Lago Maggiore,
around 50 lucky souls keep their home on this cute island, though they do
have to put up with frequent flooding. So try and come here when the rainy
season is off and you should have a superb time enjoying such tremendous,
natural views. *
*5. Mexcaltitan, Mexico *

*Another island city that is prone to severe flooding is Mexcaltitan in
Mexico, which is actually a man-made island. The rainy season lasts
throughout the summer, during which time the locals get about by boat.
Frankly I think that must be an amazing summer, at least for a trip. They
also say the shrimp here is food fit for the Aztec gods, who once called
this island their home.*
*6. Trogir, Croatia *
[image: www.funmag.org]
*Croatia is fast becoming one of the world's favorite European countries,
yet surely there is no place in Croatia that can match this wonderful
little town of Trogir. An excellently preserved medieval city, Trogir is
bursting full of restaurants, art galleries and holy sites, such as St
Lawrence Cathedral. You can also see the fortress here, reminding us of the
military power that the little states of Europe once were.*
*7. Flores, Guatemala *
[image: www.funmag.org]
*Flores is also anchored to the mainland by a narrow causeway constructed
as if to keep the dreamland from escaping reality. It lies in Lake Peten
Itza, and was the last part of Maya to fall to the Conquistadors in 1697.
Today the island is caked in red-roofed houses, hotels, restaurants and
churches, making it a wonderful place to enjoy an easy city break. *
*8. Malé, Maldives *
[image: www.funmag.org]
*Male is a wondrous city island with some 100,000 inhabitants. Very few
necessities like power and water come from the mainland, so the island is
surprisingly self-sufficient for such an isolated place with no countryside
surroundings. The island also contains numerous lagoons, which make it an
excellent place for swimming and yachting.*
*9. Manhattan, USA *
[image: www.funmag.org]
*Even larger than that is Manhattan, the iconic borough of New York that
most of us picture when we dream of the Big Apple. Of course the history of
Manhattan is fascinating, having passed from native Lenapes, to the Dutch
and then to the English who set the island on its way to dominate much of
the nearby mainland too. Manhattan truly is an island that reaches beyond
its own confines.*
*10. Venice, Italy *
[image: www.funmag.org]
*No list of city islands would be complete without a tribute to Venice, the
archetype of them all. Venice is actually a collection of 117 islands,
which have been unified by means of nearly 500 bridges. Traveling around
Venice usually requires you to jump into a boat or walk, which makes a
refreshing change from most of the world's car ridden cities.The bad news
is that a solution is desperately needed to save the city from destructive
flooding. It is sinking at the rate of 9 inches per century, leading to the
Piazza San Marco being flooded during large parts of autumn and winter.
Let's hope someone figures out a way to save it, otherwise you need to go
there soon and behold this piece of history for yourself before it
disappears. *
