This is a list of some of the best places to visit in 2014, most of these destinations were included in Lonely Planet’s list of top destinations.
1. Peru
Machu Picchu
Peru is known for Machu Picchu, Lake Titicaca and its man made islands, and a few other sites. But many people do not know that Peru is a very diverse country with some of everything. There are all kinds of climates within the country, modern cities and small traditional villages, a variety of ancient ruins from the Incas and from other cultures, and a large variety of foods which, like Peru’s culture in general, have been influenced by all the indigenous cultures and immigrants.
2 Greek Islands
Because there are fewer visitors now than there used to be, partly due to the economy, and so it is possible to visit without as many crowds.

3 Italy’s foot
Italy’s heel has arguably the best beaches in the country, hilltop towns and ancient sights. But what makes Puglia, Basilicata and Calabria such good value is not just the financial side of being in this part of the country. It’s the fabulous food – cucina povera (poor man’s food), simple, tasty and cheap – and the relaxed pace of life even in peak season, coupled with good-value accommodation for all budgets.

4 Nicaragua
True budget travellers trying to make it on US$20 a day (still possible here) may think twice about visiting the Corn Islands due to the cost of flying from the mainland, but Nicaragua does offer some of the cheapest beach living (and diving) in the Caribbean.

5 Bulgaria
Many people don’t think about traveling to Eastern Europe, but the most famous site, Rila Monastery, is free and offers simple rooms for pilgrims.
Bansko, Bugarska (Bulgaria)
6 Portugal
Lisbon has wonderful coffee and sweet treats for a few euros, and you can ride cheap trams around to your heart’s content. Portugal is also, for Europeans, a superb place to surf without having to fork out the airfare to the sport’s traditional heartlands.

7 Fiji
While it’s not as cheap as South-east Asia, the value here is in bringing the South Pacific within reach of midrange travellers. Combine some island-hopping by daily catamaran with public buses around Viti Levu, Fiji’s “mainland”, and get almost as much Polynesia as possible for not all of your money.

8 Mexico
North of Puerto Vallarta, laid-back beach towns such as Chacala offer guesthouse rooms whose relaxed ambience is its own reward. Good value can be had even in the tourist heartland of the Yucatán Peninsula. Cheap bus trips to Mérida and Tulum provide all the Mayan wonders you can muster at a fraction of the cost of Cancún- based tours.
Mexico
9 Karnataka, India
Karnataka’s coast has serene beaches, fishing harbours and peaceful resorts, plus inland temple towns such as Hampi, one of South India’s most laid-back traveller hangouts.

10 Palawan, The Philippines
A journey on from Palawan leads to the Calamian Islands where apparently Alex Garland saw the strip of sand that later inspired him to write The Beach.

11 Ethiopia
Lake Tana monasteries and the Blue Nile Falls, the rock-hewn wonders of Lalibela and much more. Ethiopia is interesting and has things for travelers who want to spend a lot and those who don’t
