Six romantic islands that must be visited in this life
Fairy tale Aegean Sea
The most convenient way to visit the Aegean Islands is to take a one-day sightseeing boat. You can travel around Aegean, poros and Izra in one day. Locals also regard these three islands as the first choice for weekend leisure and vacation. In particular, Izra Island, which is considered to be the most beautiful of the three islands, attracts tourists all year round. The voyage between the islands is about 1 hour apart, and the travel expenses are relatively economical. 5 euros includes the cost of going to the island and a lunch on board. The sightseeing boat sails from the old Farillo port in Athens at 8: 3 every day and returns to the departure port at 7: 3 in the evening. During the voyage, there are Greek song and dance performances on board, and tourists can join in, gather around and sing and dance.
transportation: there are no direct flights to Athens in China, but you can take flights from Paris, Frankfurt or Vienna by Air France, Lufthansa or Austrian Airlines. Air France and Lufthansa have direct flights in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, and the round-trip ticket price ranges from 6, to 8, RMB.
diet: Greek heavy oil. Greek salad with feta cheese on it, Greek barbecue everywhere, Greek coffee with a mouthful of coffee grounds, and oily fried squid are all delicious foods for gluttons. There is also the Greek wine Ouzo with an alcohol content of about 4%. When drinking it, it has to be mixed with water, and its color is turbid. As for paella, it is not recommended. Just a few shellfish, the Greek paella is not as good as the Spanish. Rice is not cooked well either. It makes people suspect that it is the same method for Europeans to cook rice. Take a pot of rice and boil it, then take it out and wash it with water.
Attractions: Plaka is the most lively and fragrant place in Athens. Clothing shops, souvenir shops selling carpets, silverware and pottery pots, and open-air restaurants and cafes go door to door, and there is an Orthodox chapel in Byzantine. The streets in Plaka are narrow and tortuous, and the paths are complicated, some of which are like the Jewish quarter in Seville. Most of the Greek cultural relics are collected in the British Museum. But those dead goods are carefully supplied in the glass cabinet, no matter how soft the light is, they can't show the charm of the year. Under the sun in Athens, it is the remains accumulated by the sun and the moon, but they are fresh and lush.
Tips: 1. The English level of the Greeks is not low. If you want to ask for directions, you can appreciate the enthusiasm of the Mediterranean people like volcanic eruption; And the rich people sitting in expensive cars, their gentleness is like a spring breeze.
2. It is still cold in Greece in April, so keep warm.
3. Wild cats and dogs in the streets of Athens form a world of their own. There is a police station near my hotel, and an old black dog lies beside the sentry box every day. Slouching, but the police don't care. Tourists who are afraid of cats and dogs should be careful.

One island and one scene of Maldives
Maldives is located in the sea area 65 kilometers south of Sri Lanka, passing through the equator from north to south, forming a long reef island group. More than 1 islands were formed by the eruption of ancient submarine volcanoes. If you can take a small plane flying in the south and north atolls of Mali and overlook the Maldives from the air, you will be amazed. On the boundless sea, there are small islands dotted with garlands, just like pieces of jade that shake off from the sky. The center of the island is green, surrounded by white, and the sea water near the island is light blue, aquamarine blue and deep blue, which is gradually layered. The Indian Ocean is like a blue velvet cloth, and on the blue velvet cloth, a string of emeralds and emeralds are decorated.
It's a great pleasure to cruise the island by Donnie boat. Some of them are quite modern, while others are still original. Generally, you can visit an island on foot for half an hour. Visiting local indigenous villages is a project that tourists don't want to miss. It's really enjoyable to shuttle between lanes separated by gray and white stone houses, say hello to leisurely islanders, and then take Doni boat to snorkel in uninhabited islands and enjoy various seafood barbecues on white beaches.
Maldives is also a paradise for fishing friends, because the local government stipulates that no fishing is allowed within two kilometers of the coast, and fishermen can only fish with hooks, and fishing nets are prohibited. The Maldives is rich in large stone spots, and even the green hand catches up with the fishing, which is somewhat incredible! The suitable fishing time is early morning, dusk and night, among which, sea fishing at dusk has some fun. Take Doni boat from the resort island to the coral reef, anchor and throw it down, and fish will be hooked in a short time.
Maldives is one of the three largest diving sites in the world. It's a pity if you don't dive here. Under the morning sunshine, the underwater world is as beautiful as a dream. If you are lucky, you can see little sharks and devil fish! Men with long feet must pay attention, because small fish will mistake them for bugs and pluck your hair!

Even on the walls, shrines, beams and stone foundations of temples, there are various reliefs of birds standing up to give birth to animals and exotic flowers and plants, which are dizzying. We also visited an art museum under construction on a hillside in the northeast corner of the island. Some of the sculptures displayed in the museum have strange ideas, which make people think.
What impressed me most was the dance in Bali. It is said that among Indonesian dances, Balinese dances are also unique, including solemn religious dances and lively and cheerful folk dances.
In Bali's magnificent silver beaches and coastal cliffs, visitors can enjoy Keeak and Sanghyang dances, which are traditional dance styles performed by adult men and women and created by Balinese people. There are almost no bands or musical instruments to accompany the dance except hundreds of people singing in chorus. The latter is mythical. It is said that dancers communicate with the deceased or deceased ancestors after "out-of-body experience" in dance, and at the same time, "undead" also convey their will through dancers; Among them, the plot of the famous ancient Indian narrative epic "Ramayana" is incorporated into the dance, and it is shown to tourists as a fixed tourism program at sunset every day.
