Batroun is a historic city on the northern coast of Lebanon, situated on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea, about 70 kilometers from the capital Beirut. With over 3,000 years of history and its iconic Greco-Roman walls, some of which date back to Phoenician times, still intact, this ancient Phoenician city is one of the oldest urban monuments in Lebanon. Beit Lumin is known for its stunning Mediterranean scenery, with a blue and white old town, tranquil White Beach and crystal clear waters that attract many visitors. In addition, the region has a long history in the wine industry, and the surrounding vineyards are renowned in the Middle East for their wines. This small town, which combines history and natural beauty, is an excellent destination for exploring Lebanon's culture and coastline.
São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in west-central Africa, consisting of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the surrounding islets, with the capital, São Tomé, located in the northeastern part of São Tomé. Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.
