Savannah ranked among top U.S. destinations with a ‘Foreign Feel'
SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) — To uncover the most sought-after U.S. destinations with a 'foreign feel,' Turn The Page Travel commissioned a survey of more than 3 thousand travelers to discover which of these towns they would most like to visit.
And Savannah made the Top 5.
'Founded by British colonists in 1733, Savannah blends British and French influences. We can see it in its cobblestone streets, historic mansions, and elegant public squares. Designed by General James Oglethorpe, the city's grid layout mirrors European planning traditions. Landmarks like the Regency-style Owens-Thomas House and Telfair Academy showcase British architectural elegance, while French Huguenot influence adds to its charm. Visitors can stroll beneath Spanish moss-draped oaks, explore centuries-old homes, and dine in European-inspired cafés, making Savannah a picturesque Southern city with a distinctly European feel.'
Helen, Georgia — nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains and renowned for its annual Oktoberfest — came in at Number 9 on the list, followed by Beaufort, S.C. at Number 11.
