“We are the total of our experiences” says B.J. Neblett and what better way to enrich ourselves, our lives than by visiting some of the most beautiful countries in the world and let our senses take us in a euphoric state. The theory under this listing is that to consider something beautiful one must use more than the visual sense to have such an opinion. The art itself being under the form of objects, buildings tend to have a compelling impact on sight which is why this top list will be based on the unique experiences one might enjoy by delighting more senses.

The most beautiful country in the world is Greece – come to visit it and you will agree with me! 🙂 Santorini, one of the most famous Greek islands, has also the most beautiful sunset in the world.
Australia is by far the most beautiful country in the world but so are the the people. I have a picture when I was a child in Kyama and it is spectacular. The coral reefs, the eucalyptus trees and the koalas on them. The animal life, the beaches the sunshine; there is no comparison. I wish to go back. 🙂
