The Red Sand Beach is a must-see attraction when traveling to Santorini, because no matter whether you are taking a leisurely self-guided tour or a group tour, the bus will definitely pass by here during the day. People usually take pictures on the mountain and will not go down to the beach.
From the perspective of taking photos, the best place to view the red sand beach is two or three hundred meters forward from where a large number of tour buses are parked. The red mountain cliffs stand tall, and some tourists on the beach are far away from us, forming the background of our picture.

I was completely attracted by "Descendants of the Sun 🌞".
Shipwreck Bay, located in Zakynthos, Greece, is known as the paradise island. In 1983, the smuggling ship Panagiotis ran aground here while transporting cigarettes, so it was named "Shipwreck Bay".
Tips:
The best viewing time is from 11 am to 2 pm on the cliff of the observation deck. When looking for angles to take pictures here, be sure to pay attention to safety!
Shipwreck Bay is the most famous attraction on Zakynthos Island, Greece. Even if you have never been here, you must have seen it on TV, newspapers and magazines. In 1983, a smuggling ship Panagiotis ran aground here while transporting cigarettes. Since then, this place has been called "Shipwreck Bay". Under the cliff, on the seashore, with blue water and white sandy beach, a rusty old iron ship lies here, which indeed creates an extremely vivid and colorful picture.

About the Pink Lake: (Pink Lake in English: Las coloradas)
The Pink Lake is about 3 hours away from Cancun by car. It is actually a salt field. The lake is pink because there are various red microorganisms in the lake water, which forms such a spectacular pink lake. (The photo is almost pink without any color adjustment)
🚃About how to get there:
It is mentioned above that it takes at least 3 hours one way, because it will pass through a more remote road (the kind that you can't see houses and people for several kilometers), and when you pass these places [the mobile phone will have no signal! The mobile phone will have no signal! The mobile phone will have no signal! ] If there is an accident during the driving, the consequences will be disastrous.
Based on what 👆🏻 said above, I really don't recommend driving there. I personally think that the safest way to go is to sign up for a local One Day Tour, which costs about 70-120 US dollars. Why is there such a big difference? Because this is negotiable, my price is 75 US dollars/person, just for your reference.
⚠️Here are some precautions:
Because this is a private salt field, everyone must abide by the relevant regulations: such as no water, no drones, etc.
The pink beach looks very beautiful. There are some nice sights to enjoy on this beach. The pink sand also looks perfect. Many things here are worth visiting.

Laganas Beach is a famous beach in Ghana. It is the best resort on the Ghana coast, and many resort hotels are located here. The hotel is very exquisitely made and has its own private school begonia area. Here you can enjoy plenty of sunshine, taste delicious food, and play in the sea. It is definitely worth recommending to everyone.
Laganas Beach in Zakynthos is the essence of the entire Zakynthos island scenery. The beach is very small and hidden in the embrace of the island. The beach is white and there is a rusty shipwreck on the beach, which is both mysterious and unique. The sea water here is extremely blue and very clear. It is definitely an ideal place for diving. Its beauty cannot be expressed in words and can only be felt in person.

Alimos is located on the southwestern coastline of Athens, south of Falio and north of Eriniko, and is connected to Agios Dimitrios, Ilopri, etc. It is 8 kilometers away from the center of Athens, 10 minutes by car from the center of Athens under good road conditions, and 40 minutes by car from Athens International Airport.
The main subway station in the area is Alimos Metro Station, located in the eastern area. The western area is connected to the center of Athens by tram. Poseidon Avenue passes along the coast, and the main roads passing through the Alimos area include Kalamakio and Alimo Avenue.
I love the water view here. I didn't expect this place to be so good. Even in the hot summer, you can feel cool here. The landscaping is really good. It is easy to take big pictures. The food here is also very good. The service is also good. You can take a lot of beautiful photos here at will.

In April we visited the Blue Hole of Zakynthos Island, Greece. The geological formation of Zakynthos Island is limestone, and the seawater of the Blue Hole, sometimes blue and sometimes green, is very mysterious, refracted by sunlight. On the way we were very lucky to meet a turtle swimming to the sea, the captain approached quietly, taking pictures.
Blue Grottoes, as the name suggests, refer to those blue caves that automatically emit blue light. However, I almost missed seeing them. The Greek sea is a beautiful, azure blue. However, you have to take a speedboat to find a deeper blue in this azure sea. There is such a place at the northernmost corner of Zakynthos Island. Turn into the cave and look down carefully through the transparent deck at the bottom of the boat. The bright blue is deeply imprinted in my mind...

Standing atop Linda’s Acropolis ruins, I was captivated by the sweeping views stretching far and wide. The sun cast a warm, golden glow over the mountains and the city below, creating a breathtaking panorama that felt timeless. High above, where ancient civilizations once thrived, I could almost hear whispers of history carried by the wind. The sight was both humbling and awe-inspiring, connecting me to a past both majestic and mysterious.
The ruins are just awesome! You can ride donkeys till the ruins as are on top of the hill, but we walked and was OK.Remember to take water and hat, we went in June , temperature was 28°C.You have an amazing view once on the top. You pay entrance, I think was 12€ per person.when you go down back to the village you can either go on the same path, or just head down the hill, starting near the toilets or the juice bar.You will save some time,we saw the people with donkeys going that way so it was a shortcut.The path is a bit slippery so must be careful.
