Savannah: Simply the Best

Anyone who has visited or lived in Savannah can tell you there is no place like it.  But don’t just take it from us.  Travel and Leisure Magazine recently said some lovely things that local Savannahians have known for years.  Recently named #2 on theirlist of Greenest Cities, various other accolades followed on their Best Citieslist including “friendliest” and most “romantic”.

You can hardly walk a block in Savannah without passing through one of our 22 grassy and tree-laden squares, not to mention the dozens of other parks that inhabit the town.  Designed in the 1700’s as strategic meeting points for Savannah’s militia, these squares have since turned their usefulness to activities more social and leisurely.  Students draw the landscapes and homes, couples recite vows in the gazeboes, book and food festivals are held, naps are taken, picnics eaten, and the list goes on.

Friendliest city, you say? Well, it is simply in our nature.  This old port town still has a reputation for welcoming transients, one that earned it the moniker of “Hostess City.”  People from all over the world stumble upon Savannah and are instantly seduced by its history, beauty and charm.  The friendly folks that make up its downtown historic district are a close knit family of small business owners, artists, restaurateurs, historians, philanthropists, and good, hard working men and women.  Live here for a little while and you’ll soon catch the bug that gets you waving at everyone you pass on Bull St., most of them you’ll most likely know.

As for romance, no other city can hold a candle to the dappled sun light, the Spanish moss, the cobble stone, the intricate iron work, the sandy beaches, the heavenly food, and our long list of historic bed and breakfasts.  There is something in the air here that can be hard to describe, but you’ll easily fall in love with this city that draws you in with its mystery and romance.
