Take a Look at the Florida Panhandle - 
Tallahassee

To the East of the Panhandle, is Florida's state capital, Tallahassee, with its streets of graceful old mansions. To the far west is Pensacola, which apparently, is the country's oldest settlement, dating back to 1559. Between Tallahassee and Pensacola, is the potential for a whole range of different holidays.

Tallahassee was named by the Apalachee Indians.

It is best enjoyed by tttravelling along the Canopy Roads, which are thoroughfares in the middle of town, where Spanish-moss-dripping-oaks connect above the streets forming a greenry tunnel.

The New Capitol Building has an observation level on the 22nd floor. From there you are able to see fantastic views of the city and farther beyond. You can also still see the Old Capitol building with its red and white awnings. There are thoundsands of students in the vicinity, bringing a real buzz to Tallahassee, where at nights, the live music scene caters for a young crowd.

Travel from Tallahassee to the rest of the Southern Gulf Coast, stay in Gulf Coast Villas while your tour the scene.
