15. Castelmezzano, Italy
Castelmezzano is 900 meters above sea level. Its origins go back to the 6th century BC. It’s a great place to hike and is close to Gallipoli-Cognato National Park, and Pietrapertosa.
16. Göreme, Turkey
This whimsical place is in the Cappadocia region. The biggest attraction is the fairy chimneys or cone-shaped rock formations. Visit the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Göreme National Park too.
17. Zhouzhuang, China
This “Venice of the East” isn’t far from Suzhou and Shanghai. See the blend of Chinese architecture and European canals. No motorized vehicles are permitted. Here you travel by gondola.

Your choices for best anything tend to be heavily biased to USA patriotism. In “most beautiful small towns in the world” I stopped half-way at Deadwood S.D., and Tombstone AZ was funny too. There are numerous small towns in many countries that will make those places look as silly as you. Try Norge, Suisse, Italia, Chile, Peru, New Zealand and Western Canada for starters.
Hi!
For the record, I, the writer, do not create the lists myself. (See now why I ignored you calling me silly?) Are some articles focused on one country? Yes, of course.
They are not all focused on one country though and if you consider how many articles are actually on this site you will discover a variety of locations. My guess is we have probably published articles on every country you named since the site was launched. But let’s be honest, too. People like to visit the USA. (In fact, people are breaking the law to get into the US and stay there.)
Not that I feel required to tell you this, but the website is actually owned by people from (last I heard) four different countries. The person who sends me the assignments/lists is not from the USA either. If it makes you feel any better, sometimes what I would choose to include on any given list isn’t included either.
Use the search engine on the home page. I am sure you will find something to your liking. What else can I tell you other than I forgive you for calling me “silly”?
Thank you for your comment.
It’s remarҝable to go to sｅe this site and reading the viewѕ of
all friends on thｅ topic of this paragraph, while
I am also zealous of getting familiarity.
I absolutely love Banff ! Thanks for this article !
Yes, it’s very popular. I think I have written about it several times. (Sadly, it’s been a while since I have been to Canada.)
