The 12 Most Difficult To Visit UNESCO World Heritage Sites
Sarah Ducatel Acropolis, Athens Rank Top 5 "For ourworldheritage contest unesco I chose the Acropolis of Athens, the fabulous symbol of a past that will never cease to fascinate me. I worked with a group of talented scientists at the Charles Darwin Research Station to preserve the archipelago as pristine as possible. This hike lasted hours and the view was stunning!
While I love learning languages, French and Arabic are not two that I know yet. I had the hardest time communicating in Morocco until I discovered this trick: I simply spoke Spanish with a French accent!

What did impress me more of Petra? Although it could appear impossible because of the arid area in which it is located, Petra has been inhabitated since prehistoric times and it is a testimony of past civilizations! The red sandstone landscape, the rock-cut temples and tombs, the contrast between the lightblue colour of the sky and the red sandstone cliff, the sound of wind blowing through the Siq, and last but not least the strong honour and hospitality traditions embedded in the local community and the Bedouin tribes made me live an unforgettable experience.

We believe we can make others to do the same! Sitting on that bench, thinking about what happent on August 6. Reflecting upon my visit today and the current escalating conflict between the two Koreas, I hope we can restore World peace without the use of Nuclear weapons - Let the Atomic Bomb Dome be a reminder of that to all of us.
First, you look left to the crystal-clear waters of ancient Lake Ohrid and their every shade of blue. Then, you gaze right at majestic Ohrid Town with its 2, years of secret stories on every crooked corner. Beneath you is Studenchishte Marsh, the last of the lake's wetlands and the life-support for its unique ecosystem, perhaps the most diverse of any inland water on Earth by surface area.
And behind you is National Park Galicica, a wilderness massif full of niche habitats where Balkan chamois, brown bear, wolves and even Balkan lynx roam.

You fly like this as if in a dream. For a brief period, you are part of the sky. Yet you know you must eventually return to Earth. Return to the world of people and destruction. Return to the plans to drain and concrete Studenchishte Marsh, to replace Lake Ohrid's natural beaches with artificial copies, to tarmac the coast with an express road north to south, and to cut apart the mountain home of those precious species with a ski-resort.
