There are destinations around the world where people get around by walking, bicycles, and donkeys. There are places where there are no cars, or at least, a place where no cars are allowed. To me, there is an adventure around every corner in these far away locales.
Kira Cook hosts a series on PBS, entitled Islands without Cars. This first season of this show highlighted six islands without cars, including the Greek Island of Hydra, Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast, Ireland’s Inis Meain, Italy’s Aeolian Islands, The Channel Island of Sark, and France’s Isle of Porquerolles.

In doing a little more research about destinations without cars, I came across several other places where there are no cars — Little Corn Island; Caye Caulker (Belize); Perhentian Islands (Malaysia); La Digue (Seychelles); Gili Islands (Lombok); and Ko Phi Phi (Thailand).

There are even some places in the United States where cars are not allowed, where people get around by ferries, bicycles, or golf carts, including: Mackinac Island (Michigan); Smith Island (Maryland), Monhegan Island (Maine); Catalina Island (California); and Halibut Cove (Alaska).

P.S. Last year, during Blogtober, I wrote a travel post about Knoxville, Tenn., which is the biggest city nearest me. I know it’s not an island without a car, but I hope you’ll check out what Knoxville has to offer and maybe add it to your bucket list!
