Durrës, the second largest city in Albania, is located on the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea and is one of the oldest cities in the country, with a history of more than 2,800 years. The seaside city is not only Albania's most important port and economic hub, connecting Europe with the Balkans, but also attracts tourists with its rich historical sites and natural beauty. The city's Amphitheatre of Durrës, one of the best-preserved Roman buildings in the Balkans, bears witness to the city's glorious past. Today, Difjaca's golden beaches, vibrant coastal walks, and culinary culture that blends Italian and Balkan flavors make it a popular destination for summer tourism in Albania, as well as an ideal gateway for exploring Albania's history and natural charms.
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.
