One of the greatest desires for many fans of exotic destinations is to spend time in the water snorkelling and swimming with sea turtles, one of the most fascinating and graceful inhabitants of the sea.

Sea turtles have existed for over 150 million years, long enough to witness the extinction of the dinosaurs. Like marine reptiles, they have adapted their bodies to live in the ocean and spend about 90% of their lives in the sea. Females reach the beaches to lay their eggs, while some species rest on the shore. 

Sea turtles are skilled navigators and often migrate long distances in search of feeding areas and nesting beaches.

Here are five places where you are most likely to swim with sea turtles in their natural habitat.

Hot air ballooning is a unique and evocative experience. It allows you to see the world from a completely different perspective, admiring breathtaking views suspended hundreds of metres above the ground, in almost absolute silence.

Hot air ballooning can offer unforgettable thrills, such as rising at dawn to admire the sunrise or flying at dusk to enjoy spectacular plays of light. The flight can easily be customised according to one's needs and preferences.

The Imperial Fora are a series of five monumental squares built over a century and a half (between 46 BC and 113 AD) in the heart of the city of Rome by Julius Caesar and the emperors Augustus, Vespasian, Nerva and Trajan.
