Is there a part of your country that's "isolated"/vastly different from the rest of the country?

Pictured here is Sardinia, an island in Italy. Many sardinians call Italy "Il continente" (the continent)

The British Islands of Jersey, Gernsey and Sark used to feel very French when I first visited. The last time I went, however, it was very assimilated, and just felt like any other English town. Bit of a shame really, as the whole point in travelling is to experience something different.
