Eritrea
Africa
Eritrea is East Africa's most enigmatic country — a nation of incredible Italian colonial architecture, ancient Orthodox monasteries, and one of the world's most jaw-dropping coastlines along the Red Sea. Asmara, the capital, is a UNESCO-listed city of art deco and modernist architecture that feels frozen in time. The Dahlak Archipelago offers some of the least-dived and most pristine marine environments on Earth.
