Our winners today 🍍

🥇 Perge Nature Houses / Perge Doğa Evleri ( ENG-TR ) by @passenger777

I think bungalow houses are one of the best options for rest and holiday. Perge Nature Houses is one of the holiday houses planned with modern designs, where you can spend time in peace and pleasure in the nature environment. Let me briefly talk about accommodation opportunities. Then let me show you the places to visit around. At Perge Nature Houses, you can rent a room in four different options: Standard room, lake view room, VIP room and duplex family room. They set the room price for one night as 3300 TL. So, it's around $100. But prices may vary depending on the season. This price includes room, breakfast and dinner. You can either relax in the cabins placed around the natural pool, or enjoy the view by eating something in the seating areas in front of it. In addition, the modernly designed planting stones and colorful lighting on them at the transition points around the natural pool made the environment even more beautiful. Especially when it gets dark, the breathtaking view of the pool and the lights shining between the houses emerges.

🥈 Wednesday Walk around the Smolny Cathedral by @tatdt

The whole ensemble of buildings of the Smolny Monastery is in the same style, but you can appreciate it in full only if you order a helicopter tour and see all the buildings from above. However, there is a more budget-friendly way to see the architectural ensemble from the top - there is a viewing platform on one of the towers. And there is another unusual way to see the whole ensemble, not in its modern form, but as it was conceived by the famous architect Rastrelli. The wooden model is kept in the Museum of the Academy of Arts.

🥉 Stairway to Heaven | Cateel, Davao Oriental by @patsitivity

I walked nearer the bridge and a view I'd been dying to see was there; its beauty raging, unstoppable. Unlike most of the waterfalls I've been to that require at least 10 minutes of trekking, Aliwagwag Falls is right beside the road. In fact, the best view of Aliwagwag could be seen at the bridge. This bridge became a viewing deck of Aliwagwag; many passers-by would take a break here and take photos.
