Don't you want to slow down the fast pace you're used to and want to enjoy more of this life, which sometimes seems too short, because time is not enough for all the things we want to do in a day. Try to break away from the everyday, at least for a few days. Find the joy of the present and go to recharge your batteries in some special places, some villages that seem to have been plucked out of heaven, to do those activities that bring only joy to your soul.
Let's discover together some unique places that will send you to an archaic world, full of customs, where the past blends perfectly with the present. In the following we will show you some of the most beautiful places to stay in Viscri, Crit, Saschiz and Cloasterf. I don't think it needs to be mentioned that the best known village in the area is Viscri, also found in the patromonium UNESCO World, but the area cannot be complete without Crit, Saschiz and Cloasterf, three villages as beautiful and picturesque as Viscri, at a very short distance from each other. The area became popular, especially among foreign citizens, after Prince Charles, the current King of Great Britainbought a property in Viscri, becoming an ambassador of the village. Since then, tens of thousands of Romanian and foreign tourists have visited the area, leaving the usual comforts of the city to enjoy the unique experience of these picturesque places.
