🥇 Santorini - My dream destination by @lemonde.demi

Santorini is always a popular destination and it is also quite far from Geneva, so the plane tickets are usually too expensive for a student like me. Then, I finally found the tickets at one-third of the normal price and I was so happy. Unfortunately, the Coronavirus came and interrupted all of my travel plans. After all, when the Greek government started to loosen the restrictions last year, I luckily found couples of affordable tickets in the low season (in the middle of October) and went there. The islands didn't fail to amaze me even when I've already seen many pictures of this place. No wonder why it is so popular.

🥈 Maderia Portugal: the Verada da Ponta de São Lourenço Hike by @leaky20

My understanding is that the peninsula was created thousands or even millions of years ago, by volcanic activity. To be honest, I have no idea where or when I read that or if it's even true, so don't quote me on it. It seems like a plausible explanation to a geology layman like me though.

🥉 Rock Road to the Fort of St. Ivan. Fortress of Kotor Old Town, Montenegro. by @darine.darine

We thought at first that it would be free, because at the beginning there was no one. But after climbing a little higher, we did see that it is paid. A guy was sitting on the pass watching Tiktok. Since nothing prevented us from passing, he did not pay attention. But as soon as we passed, he immediately came to his senses and said that we had to pay. After paying, we finally continued on our way.
