Lake Maracaibo in Venezuela is the place on Earth that receives the most lightning strikes.
Massive thunderstorms occur on 140-160 nights per year with an average of 28 lightning strikes per minute lasting up to 10 hours at a time. That’s as many as 40,000 lightning strikes in one night!
For many visitors, Greece, with 18 UNESCO World Heritage sites, is an ideal place to combine a culture and history tour with some quality beach time. Others prefer lively nightlife, which can also be found … or avoided by those who prefer peace and tranquility. You can even enjoy some skiing, not something many people associate with Greece!
