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.

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...

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.
