It’s no secret that Charleston, South Carolina is one of the most visit-worthy towns in the American south. However, there’s a nearby town that’s equally as enchanting, and perhaps more so considering it’s relatively undiscovered by tourists. Here’s more on the magical town of Aiken and why you’ll want to visit for your next vacation.
Just fifteen minutes from Charleston awaits a small southern town whose natural beauty is unparalleled. Since the 1800s, visitors have been drawn to Aiken for its milder temperatures, which seem like a respite compared to other places in North America.
And don't forget to arrange for a historical walk-through of the city. You can visit a historic "cottage," the misleading term for a mansion of at least 20 rooms.
