If you are tired of civilization
Places where you can escape from everything
Sometimes people are very tired from so-called "benefits of civilization," and he wants to change the situation. Go to the place where it will not pester Head, where very few people, where they can at least a little time alone with your thoughts. The problem is that such places on our planet is not too much.
1. Mount Athos, Greece
Orthodox monks lived on a remote Greek peninsula More from the 4th century. Get to Mount Athos can only by ferry, and only men. But before men should receive special Byzantine visa that will give them the right to visit Mount Athos. Gore is so far from modern civilization, the monks there still live in Byzantine times.
2. Tristan da Cunha
At a distance of 2700 km from the coast of South Africa, the Atlantic island is so isolated from the outside world that the mail there comes only once a year (which is very strange, since many residents of this island earn their living by selling postage stamps). With so few contacts with the outside world the islanders still speak "patois" - English 19th century.
3. Nauru
Despite the fact that Nauru has the title of the most visited countries in the world, on this island, located in the South Pacific, there is no sea port, and you can get there only on small boats or airplanes. Much of the island is unsuitable for agriculture, so that local residents are heavily dependent on imports. As a result, nearly 90% of them are unemployed.
4. Mount Ganghar Puensum
Mountain Ganghar Puensum in Bhutan has a height of 7570 meters and is the highest unclimbed mountain in the world. If you ever try to climb on it, you will be arrested. Because in 1994, the Government of Bhutan has banned the ascent to the top of the sacred.
5. Island Fula, Scotland
This Scottish island is a haven for more ponies than for people. The ferry stops here only twice a week, and flying light aircraft and does a great rarity. Residents here still use the Julian calendar, and speak a dialect of Old Norse.
