Italy 🇮🇹
Ravello in Italy is one of the most picturesque places in the country. This town soars above the blue expanse of the sea: its ancient buildings seem to climb steep cliffs, drowning in the lush greenery of palm trees, cypresses and pines.
There are no noisy crowds of tourists here and you can easily find a secluded corner of tranquility - somewhere in the narrow medieval streets, under the shadow of cozy cafe terraces or in the thickets of local gardens.

Iran 🇮🇷
The island of Hormuz is located in the northern part of the Strait of the same name, 8 km from the coast. This is Iran, but it is about 1000 km from Tehran to Hormuz. Dubai is much closer — 230 km away. The island is oval and not too big — about 8 by 7 km. In summer, the island is very hot — the daytime temperature sometimes rises to 42 °C. There is no fresh water here, the ground is rocky and saturated with salt. There is almost no vegetation either — only salt marsh next to some tidal streams.
Previously, the island had an important strategic importance — it was a large port where goods from all over the world were brought. At one time, Hormuz was even a separate Arab trading state. Now the island is better known as a tourist attraction — lovers of beach holidays, diving and unique "extraterrestrial Martian" landscapes come here.
