Gili Trawangan is the largest of the three Gili Islands, located off the northwest coast of Lombok in West Nusa Tenggara.

Mljet National Park sits on the western side of Mljet Island in Croatia’s Adriatic Sea, a place where saltwater lakes meet ancient forest pathways. The park stretches across nearly one-third of the island, with Veliko Jezero (Great Lake) and Malo Jezero (Small Lake) as their most striking features. These two saltwater lakes are connected by a narrow channel to the open sea, creating calm blue waters that draw visitors for swims, casual kayak outings, or peaceful cycles around the shaded paths.

The shoreline consists of dark volcanic sand, rocky outcrops, and strong Pacific surf, while low hills and tropical vegetation surround the village.
