Bewaldete Karstinseln im tropischen Meer

Kochi on the Malabar Coast of southern India brings together Chinese fishing nets along the harbour, Portuguese colonial buildings in Fort Kochi, an old Jewish synagogue (1568) and Dutch canals. One of the most culturally layered port cities in the Indian Ocean.

Langer Sandstrand aus der Vogelperspektive

Miyako lies on the Sanriku coast in the north of Japan's main island of Honshu in Iwate Prefecture on the Pacific. The port town is famous for the nearby Jōdogahama beach with its white rhyolite rock formations, which look like a Buddhist paradise by the sea and gave the beach its name.
