Review:
Home to a rich history that is reflected in its quaint cobblestone streets lined with majestic antebellum architecture and shaded by a leafy emerald canopy that bursts into bloom every spring, Savannah is a classic Southern city with a pure southern charm. A strategic port city during the American Revolution and American Civil War, Savannah offers many diverse things to see and do. The city’s pedestrian-friendly layout and innovative urban design is ideal for strolling and exploring.
Wander through the azalea-lined Historic District and soak up the city’s history reflected in the opulent mansions, old cotton warehouses and beautifully preserved Colonial public buildings. Head to the pristine beaches of Tybee Island for a relaxing escape where you can sunbathe, swim, sail and fish with Atlantic Ocean views. Famed for its elaborate St Patrick’s Day celebration, the city is packed with activities, from food and music festivals to Civil War re-enactments.
Where to Stay: Azalea Inn & Gardens is a beautiful place to stay for couples, featuring a romantic garden and an outdoor pool.
Where to Eat: The Olde Pink House Restaurant is located in a 18th century mansion.
Don’t miss: Take a ghost-hunters tour in a chauffeured hearse around the city’s ‘haunted’ alleyways.
