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.
Located on the Adriatic coast, Kotor is one of the most historical port cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Surrounded by medieval walls, the old town is an open-air museum, with winding stone streets linking Romanesque churches, Venetian-style buildings and Ottoman ruins. Just outside the city is the Bay of Kotor, one of the deepest fjords in Europe, where the turquoise waters surrounded by mountains and the olive groves and fishing villages along the coast form a beautiful picture. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Kotor is not only rich in maritime history, but also hosts annual cultural events such as the International Theatre Festival, which attracts tourists from all over the world to explore its unique natural and cultural charms.
