Sveti Stefan

Sveti Stefan is a seaside resort in western Montenegro, on the Budva Riviera. In the 15th century the island was a small fishermen’s village. In the 1950s the last residents of the village were evicted, and Sveti Stefan was transformed into a luxury town-hotel.

The streets, walls, roofs and facades of the buildings were preserved, while the interior of the building were transformed to offer the most modern luxury hotel comfort. Among its guests were Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren, Kirk Douglas and Claudia Schiffer.

It fell into decline during the breakup of the former Yugoslav federation. In 2007 a Singapore based luxury resort operator won a contract to lease Sveti Stefan for a 30 year period. The island was subsequently closed and extensive renovations began with plans to re-open in 2009

Ko Nang Yuan

Ko Nang Yuan is a small island situated off the northwest coast of Ko Tao. The beautiful island is formed by three separate rocky outcrops interconnected by a long sandy beach. At high tides most of the beach gets submerged, creating three separate tidal islands.

Just 10 meters from the shore, the coral reefs and marine life are clearly visible in the transparent blue seas. The island is popular with day trippers. There is also one resort located on the middle island with a full range of facilities.

Lindisfarne

Lindisfarne is a tidal island off the north-east coast of England also known as Holy Island. Around 635 AD a monastery was founded on Lindisfarne which became the base for Christian evangelising in the North of England. In 793, a Viking raid on Lindisfarne caused much consternation throughout the Christian west, and is now often taken as the beginning of the Viking Age. A small castle was built here in the 16th century.

Today the island is a popular tourist attraction. Visitors wishing to walk between the mainland and the island are urged to keep to the marked path, check tide times and weather carefully, and seek local advice if in doubt.

Castle Tioram

Castle Tioram is a ruined castle that sits on the tidal island Eilean Tioram in Loch Moidart, Scotland. Though hidden from the sea, the castle controls access to Loch Shiel. The curtain wall is believed to date from the 13th century while the tower and other interior buildings were constructed between the 15th and 17th century. The castle can be reached on foot across the tidal causeway, but there is no access to the interior because of the risk of falling masonry.
