Savannah Named to TIME’s Annual List of the World’s Greatest Places

SAVANNAH, Ga. – Today, TIME revealed the third annual list of the World’s Greatest Places, which highlights 100 extraordinary travel destinations around the world. Savannah is listed among some of the most stunning destinations around the globe and is praised for the game-changing revitalization of its historic waterfront.
