The third largest island in the Republic of Malta, located between the main island of Malta and the island of Gozo, Comino covers an area of only about 3.5 square kilometers, but is known for its stunning natural beauty and tranquil atmosphere. The island's most famous attraction is the Blue Lagoon, a stunning blue-green color and crystal clear waters, ideal for swimming, snorkeling and sunbathing, which attracts tourists from all over the world. Sparsely populated and free from the hustle and bustle of motorized vehicles, Comino has retained its original island look and feel, and in addition to the Blue Lagoon, there are historical attractions such as St. Mary's Tower, the ruins of the fortress, and an abundance of hiking trails. Visitors can reach the island by boat in about 25 minutes from the main island of Malta, making it the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy a slower pace of life in the Mediterranean.
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.
