# Aydincik

Aydıncık is a small town (population: about 7,000) in southern part of Cilician Mountains, Mediterranean Turkey. Its former name was Gilindire, which comes from the name of the Roman city modern town of Aydıncık replaced: Kelenderis.

## Get in

The nearest airport is Gazipaşa (GZP ) in Alanya 130 km east. It serves major resorts on that strip of coast so in season it has flights from across Europe, and has car hire.
Others are Antalya (AYT) 290 km west and Adana (ADA) 210 km east.
The town was formerly on D400, the coast road between Antalya and Adana, but the section by Aydincik now runs through a tunnel (not yet shown on some maps). The turn-off onto the old road is well signposted. Plenty of narrow twisty sections of D400 remain in these mountains.
This means that inter-city buses rush through the tunnel and no longer call here. Flixbus runs twice day from Antalya via Manavgat (for Side), Alanya and Anamur, where you change for a dolmuş. These buses continue to Taşucu (for Cyprus ferries), Silifke (change here coming from the east or north), Mersin and Adana.

## Drink

There is a very nice open-air tea garden next to the little wharf. It is like an oasis with its shading trees in the peak of summer heat. A (small) glass of tea costs 0.25 TL and a cup of tea costs 0.50 TL there.

# Spitzkoppe

Spitzkoppe is in the Erongo region of central Namibia.

## Understand

The Spitzkoppe rises majestically out of the surrounding plains and is visible from great distances away. The Groot Spitzkoppe is considered to be a 'inselberg' (island mountain, alike the Monument Valley mountains).

### Landscape

The Groot Spitzkoppe is 1728 m above sea level. The Klein Spitzkoppe is 1584 m. There are also Pontok Mountains. The Groot Spitzkoppe is often referred to as the "Matterhorn of Namibia" because of the similarity in shape.

### Climate
## Get in

The nearest town is Usakos. From the B2, take D1918 to D3716. This is approximately 50 km from Usakos.
The Spitzkoppe area is run by a women's cooperative who maintain campsites throughout the brilliantly colored rocks. A nominal fee is paid at the entrance and camping can be arranged. The volume of visitors is relatively low, despite the dramatic rock formations.

## Fees and permits

Entree fees in 2007 were N$35 per person.

## Get around

There are often local guides to take the visitor around at minimal cost (voluntary sum in Nov 2021). Some places like the rocks with San art are only accessible with a guide.

## See

The mountains are brilliantly colored and rise abruptly out of the plains surrounding them. The large depository of San art has been vandalized, but still is definitely worth visiting.

## Do

Do climb around the magnificent rock formations. Enjoy the dassies playing on the rocky surfaces.

## Buy

There is a small gift shop which supports the women's cooperative. Please help the locals!

## Drink

Be sure to bring plenty of water as there are few facilities in the vicinity.

## Sleep
### Lodging

There are some traditional Damara huts for rent.
The closest town is Usakos, 50 km away.
* Bahnhof Hotel, Usakos, websmith@iway.na. The, has 14 rooms with airconditioning and TV. Fully licenced restaurant and safe parking.
Alternative Uis about 90 km away.

### Camping

The Spitzkoppe area is a camper's dream. Campsites are located in all types of interesting rock formations with trails leading out. It is possible to get to most campsites by a regular car. There is no water on the campsites and only some have outhouses. But the landscape is absolutely spectacular! N$125 for 2 adults and a car (2007).

### Backcountry
## Stay safe

Tourists have repeatedly been waylaid in this area.
One trick to make tourists stop and disembark is to fake a flat tire and then robbing the party that stops to help. Namibians do not expect tourists to stop and help with car problems, for precisely this reason, so drive on without a bad conscience.
Another trick is to strew spikes onto the road so that tourists get a flat tire. If that happens to you, and if people immediately appear in the middle of nowhere to help you with changing tires, then this was likely no accident. Swallow your anger but make it absolutely clear that you can do this on your own. If they say they are thirsty, offer water. If they ask for money, tell them (as unlikely as this is) that you plan to camp wild, and did not take any money along.
# Agriculture

# Niagara Falls

Niagara Falls is a popular, though often tacky and touristy honeymoon destination on the USA-Canada border, approximately midway between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario.
The region is divided by the border between the Canadian province of Ontario and the US state of New York. There are a pair of twin cities, one on each side of the boundary:
* Niagara Falls (Ontario) in Canada's Niagara Region
* Niagara Falls (New York) in the United States of America's western New York Niagara County
Other parts of the region are:
* Three waterfalls (the Horseshoe Falls, the American Falls and the Bridal Veil Falls) and a group of islands (Goat Island and Luna Island are the largest) straddle the international boundary and form the southern end of the Niagara Gorge.
* The Niagara River, which leads from Buffalo over the falls and downstream to Lewiston-Queenston and Niagara-on-the-Lake.
The international boundary runs approximately through the middle of the Horseshoe Falls, the largest of the three. Despite this, the Horseshoe Falls are often called the "Canadian Falls". The American Falls, the Bridal Veil Falls and the two islands are in the USA. See the individual city articles Niagara Falls (Ontario) and Niagara Falls (New York) for local listings for each side.
With four to six million cubic feet (168,000 m³) of water falling every minute, the combined falls form the highest flow rate of any waterfall in the world. Horseshoe Falls is the most powerful waterfall in North America, based on its exceptionally-high flow rate and a vertical drop of more than 165 feet (50 m). While not exceptionally high, the Niagara Falls are very wide. Renowned for their beauty, they serve as a huge source of hydroelectric power and are well illuminated at night.
Niagara serves as gateway to attractions in the surrounding Niagara Region, including wineries and the Shaw Festival at Niagara-on-the-Lake.
There are two road bridges at Niagara Falls, plus one at Lewiston-Queenston and one in Buffalo; these four crossings are usually very busy as they serve Toronto.
By car, Niagara is a relatively easy day trip from Toronto (75 miles, 121 km) or Buffalo (17 miles, 27 km). By rail, it was one of the few places where a bridge could carry a locomotive across the Canadian border during the Underground Railroad era of the 1850s; Amtrak/VIA still use Niagara as a rail border crossing for passengers from New York City on the "Maple Leaf" to Toronto. "GO" commuter trains on the Oshawa-Toronto-Hamilton "Lakeshore" mainline are extended to Niagara on weekends in high season, but do not cross the border.
Walk Niagara Tours offers guided excursions to Niagara Falls, featuring visits to iconic landmarks such as the Falls, Journey Behind the Falls, and other notable attractions.

# Culinary Tourism

Culinary tourism is travel primarily centered around food.

## Understand

While everybody who travels has to eat at their destination, some places are significant enough that people travel specifically to eat there. The idea of traveling for food dates all the way back to the early 20th century, when the Michelin Guide designated any restaurant granted 3 stars as being worth an entire journey. While culinary tourism was historically just about fine dining, it's become a lot more common to view culinary tourism as a way of engaging with the local culture by experiencing food as they experience it. This immersive form of dining has a lot of overlap with agritourism, and many travelers will do both at the same time.

## Prepare

For culinary tourists who just want to eat good food, the Michelin Guide is the preferred resource for finding good restaurants, since they have a world-class reputation for quality and have budget options for travelers who don't want to break the bank. For culinary tourists who want to immerse themselves into the local culture, that's almost the exact opposite of what you want to do. Many restaurant guides (particularly the Michelin Guide) have been accused of being biased in favour of French (or broadly European-style) restaurants. Instead, travelers looking for an authentic experience will usually be better off eating street food and at more low-key restaurants that are frequented by average locals.

## Drink

Many travelers think that culinary tourism is about eating, and it is, but it's just as much about drinking, too. What you'll be drinking depends on where you'll be going. Wine is a common drink for people traveling to Europe, and it's well-known that France and Italy are both highly regarded for their vineyards. What's less well-known is that California, Australia, and Canada are equally well-regarded among wine critics. In some parts of Europe, like Germany, beer is the drink of choice and well worth checking out. Asian cultures (especially Muslim cultures, which typically ban alcohol) tend to focus more on tea, while African and South American countries are usually more known for their coffee (though Argentina and Chile are among the world's top wine producing countries). Some countries are famous for their distilled spirits. Scotland's whisky distilleries and Mexico's tequila and mezcal distilleries are popular destinations for alcohol aficionados.

## Respect

Because food is an important part of every culture, there's usually certain rules and expectations around how you should eat it. At its most extreme, eating can be a complex ritual where the consumer is meant to perform a series of actions, like the traditional Passover meal in Judaism. Failing to obey these often unspoken rules can be anywhere from a minor faux pas like having your elbows on the table in America to extremely offensive mistakes like leaving your chopsticks upright in a bowl of rice in Japan. People are usually understanding of mistakes by foreigners as long as it doesn't violate deeply held taboos or religious values, but it's important to know what to do and what not to do when it comes to eating.
# Maracas Valley

Maracas Valley is in northern Trinidad. It’s a beautiful, popular getaway to the north of Port of Spain with beaches and mountain views. Maracas Bay has, by Trinidadian standards, calm water for swimming, and the beach is known for its local bake and shark establishments.

## Understand
### Landscape

This shows the rugged hillsides covered in tropical vegetation falling steeply into the sea. This view looks westwards over Seat Deau bay towards a peninsula behind which is the beach at Maracas itself.

### Climate

The climate is tropical with pronounced wet and dry seasons. During the dry season, days are hot, with little moderation from the sea. The humidity adds to the perceived temperature.
The temperature change with altitude is minimal.

## Get in

Saddle Rd and the North Coast Rd provide access to Maracas from Port of Spain. The journey is an about an hour from the center of the city. North Coast Rd is narrow in several places and the duration of the journey can depend on traffic. There is some parking available at the beach, but it can be packed on weekends.

## Fees and permits

No permit is required to go to Maracas but there are fees for beach tents (about $600 TT for a nice double cabana and chairs, 2025) and for some of the washrooms ($5 TT per person, 2025).

## Get around

You will must go by road to get to these shores. The route from Port of Spain goes through rugged mountains.

## See

There’s a great viewpoint on the road in with breathtaking views of the valley and the coastal ranges. There are outdoor booths at the vista with souvenirs and street food for sale.
* 10.7289-61.40451 Maracas Waterfall, Waterfall Rd. The tallest single drop waterfall in Trinidad and Tobago, standing at around 300 ft (91 m) high. Getting there involves a relatively straightforward 30 to 45 minute hike. However, it is advisable not to go when conditions are wet and slippery. (updated Mar 2025)

## Do

* Enjoy the scenery
* Chill on the beach at Maracas Bay

## Eat

The shacks on the beach at Maracas are known for their bake and shark. This is a sandwich with battered meat with pepper sauce and other condiments available.
* 10.7574-61.43631 Uncle Sam & Sons, ☏ +1 868 344-3552, orders@unclesamtt.com. The main site at the beach with famous bake and shark, with outdoor seating and beach views. (updated Mar 2025)

## Drink

Fruit punches and coconut water are available for purchase at bake and shark stands.

## Stay safe

The road to and from Maracas is narrow, reducing to one lane in several places, and the cliffs on the northern side are deadly. Most drivers take the road quickly so use caution.

## Go next

* Chaguaramas
* Port of Spain, the national capital, is the nearest major city and is about an hour away by car or bus.
