A very niche place for vacation, where you can see a lot of nice and fun things. It is also a very important tourist area, and many open-air shops are beautifully laid out.

A very interesting place to visit. Easy to walk round and lots to see and read. It wasn't too busy either. We went on a Wednesday

About the Pink Lake: (Pink Lake in English: Las coloradas) The Pink Lake is about 3 hours away from Cancun by car. It is actually a salt field. The lake is pink because there are various red microorganisms in the lake water, which forms such a spectacular pink lake. (The photo is almost pink without any color adjustment) 🚃About how to get there: It is mentioned above that it takes at least 3 hours one way, because it will pass through a more remote road (the kind that you can't see houses and people for several kilometers), and when you pass these places [the mobile phone will have no signal! The mobile phone will have no signal! The mobile phone will have no signal! ] If there is an accident during the driving, the consequences will be disastrous. Based on what 👆🏻 said above, I really don't recommend driving there. I personally think that the safest way to go is to sign up for a local One Day Tour, which costs about 70-120 US dollars. Why is there such a big difference? Because this is negotiable, my price is 75 US dollars/person, just for your reference. ⚠️Here are some precautions: Because this is a private salt field, everyone must abide by the relevant regulations: such as no water, no drones, etc.

As we all know, Greek civilization is the origin of European civilization, and even influenced the progress and development of civilization around the world. But where did Greek civilization originate? That is Crete. Come to the Heraklion Archaeological Museum to find out.

The colorful harbor is particularly beautiful. It is a rare opportunity to see this kind of scene, which is great.

A stunning place, an insanely beautiful sea, the colors of the Mediterranean are astonishing with a million shades of blue. The island is surrounded by a wall, with ruins and remains of a fortress, dating back to Byzantine times. The view is stunning.
