Supetar, the capital and largest town of the Adriatic island of Vis in southern Croatia, is situated in the "Pearl of the Mediterranean". This small town by the mountains and the sea is a blend of ancient Greek, Roman and Venetian history, with stone streets, medieval churches and red-tiled houses in the old town. Just 3 kilometers from the town, Stiniva Beach was named one of the most beautiful beaches in the world by National Geographic, with its stunning arched sea gates and turquoise waters. As the economic and cultural center of the island of Vis, Supetar is also known for its excellent wines (such as the local specialty Vugava white) and fresh seafood, making it an ideal base for exploring the caves of the surrounding uninhabited islands and sampling Dalmatian flavors. Convenient ferry connections to mainland cities such as Split attract travelers seeking tranquility and natural beauty.
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.
