Savannah, Georgia
Twisted oak trees dripping with Spanish moss, fountains spouting pure sunshine and ghost stories to make you shiver: Savannah is an idyllic summer destination in the US with just a touch of the surreal.
Take a horse-drawn carriage through one of the manicured parks, or stroll through the cobblestone historic district to admire the antebellum architecture. The lush Southern charm of this town under heavy summer heat is pure seduction.
