Another island city that is prone to severe flooding is Mexcaltitan in Mexico, which is actually a man-made island. The rainy season lasts throughout the summer, during which time the locals get about by boat. Frankly I think that must be an amazing summer, at least for a trip. They also say the shrimp here is food fit for the Aztec gods, who once called this island their home.
6. Trogir, Croatia
Croatia is fast becoming one of the world's favorite European countries, yet surely there is no place in Croatia that can match this wonderful little town of Trogir. An excellently preserved medieval city, Trogir is bursting full of restaurants, art galleries and holy sites, such as St Lawrence Cathedral. You can also see the fortress here, reminding us of the military power that the little states of Europe once were.
