Aghios Nikolaos
Agios Nikolaos is a seaside town in eastern Crete, Greece, set around Mirabello Bay and known for its unusual waterfront setting around Lake Voulismeni. The small lagoon lies at the center of the town, surrounded by cafés, tavernas, shops, and narrow streets that rise toward the surrounding hills. The harbor and marina extend the town toward the sea, while beaches and coves are found along the nearby coast.
Liberia
This Northern Costa Rica city is known for its volcanoes (both active and inactive), the Catholic church Ermita de La Agonía, and the Museo del Sabanero.
Iona
The island of Iona lies just off the west coast of Scotland, easily reached from Oban by ferry. This jaunt in itself is quite stunning commanding a view of the rocky peaks and green slopes of the Mull Mountains. An old village, Iona was founded in 563 AD by Columba and his disciples when they travel from Ireland to the Harbour of the Caracle, built a monastery and introduced the Christian faith here. Iona is still a major center for pilgrimages. Please note that cars are not permitted on the isl
Lake Nokoué
Lake Nokoué is a large lagoon lake in southern Benin, stretching along the Atlantic coastal plain near the cities of Cotonou, Porto-Novo, and Abomey-Calavi. Covering a broad area of shallow water connected to rivers, marshes, and the sea, it plays an important role in transportation, fishing, and daily life for surrounding communities.
Ronda
Ronda, perched high above the El Tajo gorge in southern Spain’s Málaga province, offers one of the most dramatic landscapes in Andalusia. The city is split in two by a 120-meter-deep canyon carved by the Guadalevín River, and connected by the iconic Puente Nuevo, an 18th-century stone bridge that took over 40 years to complete. Visitors crossing the bridge can stop at the viewpoint built into the stone itself, once used as a prison.
