The nature of the Balkans is raw and powerful. Sunlit rocky coastlines inspire either blending architecture with nature or making nature part of the architecture itself. When I first visited the Balkans, I created a similar project for the metaverse—stone floors, cliffs, and an endless horizon above the sea instead of walls. Seeing this hotel, I felt a connection with its architectural approach—embracing and harnessing nature’s ability to heal, calm, and restore. ACRO Wellness Suites. Ag. Pelagia, Crete, Greece

I was planning to make a big celebratory post for the 100th spot on my wowmap… but turns out I totally missed the moment - there are already 121! It all started about three years ago, when I wanted to take a weekend trip to another city but couldn’t decide where to go. There were things that interested me in both places, so to keep track I pinned them on a map. Back then, I just wanted to wander through beautiful, unusual spots - the kind of places where you can’t help but say wow. The very first “wow-place” I added was Mirage Cinema in St. Petersburg - minimalist, neon-lit, with theatrical curtains. An interior that pulls you out of everyday life and drops you into another world for a few hours. That became the idea behind my map: places that feel like entire worlds of their own. Alien, surreal, sometimes more like something dreamt up by an AI than part of real life. And the anniversary entry, number 100, was the La Géode dome in Parc de la Villette, Paris. https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1X7rGdDdv83kilvJdDTnIgjD0Y1_vfJQ&ll=48.88644239321603%2C2.422665576035685&z=12
