🌅 Oia is Santorini’s “sunset ceiling,” with blue and white buildings layered along the volcanic cliffs, the Aegean Sea shimmering like sapphire below. Every step you take is an Instagram-worthy scene. This 500-word essential guide helps you avoid pitfalls and fully enjoy your trip～ ⏰ Best time to visit: May-June / September-October! Avoid the crowds of July-August peak season, enjoy cooler weather, and stay at cliffside hotels for less; to watch the sunset, be sure to arrive at the “Oia Sunset Viewing Platform” before 6:00 PM to secure a spot. The sunset dyes the sky in gradients of orange, pink, and purple, and when fishing boats glide across the sea, the whole town seems to glow🌇 📸 Must-shoot spots: 1. Blue-domed churches (Oia’s landmark! Wear white or light blue dresses, use the blue domes, white walls, and Aegean Sea as your backdrop, and shoot from the side for maximum atmosphere); 2. Cliffside walkway (lined with low walls covered in bougainvillea, look down to see the deep blue sea, and shoot upward to create the feeling of “walking inside a painting”); 3. Private pool hotels (book a room with a terrace pool, and in the early morning capture the “pool reflecting the blue and white buildings” scene—no one else will be competing for the shot) 🚶‍♀️ Suggested itinerary: Spend the morning exploring Oia’s main street, check out handmade glass shops and Greek-style cafes, and order an iced coffee with Baklava honey nut pastry🍯; in the afternoon, visit the “Oia Archaeological Site” to overlook the entire town from a high vantage point; in the evening, stake out a spot for the sunset, then stroll through the seaside night market, enjoying grilled squid skewers while feeling the sea breeze～ ⚠️ Tips to avoid pitfalls: The cliff walkway has many steps, so wear non-slip sneakers instead of high heels; the viewing platform is crowded during peak season, so consider going to a seaside restaurant in nearby Amoudi Bay, where you can watch the sunset while eating grilled octopus for a more exclusive view; don’t buy overpriced “sunset photo spots” from street vendors—beautiful sunset shots can also be taken from the alleys beside the viewing platform! The romance of Oia is more than just the sunset—it’s the scent of coffee in the morning sea breeze, the flowers beneath the blue and white walls, and the Aegean Sea you encounter just a few steps away—come here, slow down, and turn your days into poetry～

[Normandy Cliffs | A Long Letter from the English Coast to the Cliffs and Sea Breeze] On the northern coast of France, the Normandy County Cliffs resemble a vast rock painting carved by the waves. Chalk cliffs, crashing waves, and circling seabirds intertwine, and every breath conveys the coast's grandeur and the power of nature. In the early morning, the cliffs and the sea are serene and gentle. The morning light casts a gentle glow over the limestone cliffs and the shimmering waves. The occasional sound of a seabird's low cry or the gentle rustle of the sea breeze echoes. Time seems stretched here, and every step feels like a journey through eons of geological time. Strolling along the cliff path, the white cliffs, the waves, and the distant horizon appear and disappear in the morning light. Light and shadow intertwine with the coastline into a dynamic composition, and the details and grandeur of the Normandy County Cliffs flow through the light and shadow. The afternoon light is at its brightest, the sea azure and the cliffs vibrant white. As visitors stroll slowly, the majestic cliffs and coastline are vividly revealed in the light and shadow. At dusk, the setting sun paints the cliffs and sea a warm golden color, stretching to the cliff edge. The sea breeze caresses the waves, crashing against the rocky shore, as if time has slowed down. Truly breathtaking, it's after nightfall, when the sea and cliffs intertwine beneath the starlight. The entire Normandy County Cliffs whispers of the ocean's power, the cliffs' aloofness, and the eternal beauty of nature. If time permits, hike along the cliff trails, capturing the light and shadows and the details of the cliffs, or sit quietly on the coastal viewing platform, capturing the interweaving of white cliffs, waves, and the sky. You'll understand then: the Normandy County Cliffs are more than just scenic spots; they're a poem composed of cliffs, waves, and light. Every step brings a sense of the power of nature and the majesty of the coast. — ✨ Tips (useful tips for your trip) • Time to visit: Early morning for soft light and shadow, afternoon sun for peak brightness, dusk for the most magnificent sunsets, and night for the most breathtaking starry skies. • Viewing spots: Cliff walks, coastal viewing platforms, and the distant skyline. • Suggested activities: Hiking, photography, coastal walks, and stargazing. • Recommended dining options: Local seafood, Normandy cider, and light meals. • Recommended accommodations: Coastal B&Bs or small hotels, ideal for capturing the light and shadows at dawn and dusk. • Transportation: Driving is the most flexible option, while walking allows for closer views of the cliffs. Please exercise caution. • Seasonal moods: Spring and summer offer refreshing sea breezes and vibrant light; autumn offers gentle sunsets and magnificent waves; winter offers a mysterious atmosphere punctuated by morning mist and the light and shadows on the sea. — 📌 Traveler's Notes On the Normandy County cliffs, I learned to observe with my eyes how light and shadow play across the cliffs, waves, and horizon, and to listen to the whispers of the wind and waves. The majestic coastline and the loneliness of the wilderness remain more deeply etched in my heart than any shutter. — 🔖 Tags #NormandyCliffs #FrenchCoast #ChalkCliffs #HikingExplore #Photography #CoastalSecrets #Waves Crashing #NaturalMajesty #CoastalWalk #TravelPhotographySpots

#westerneurope #europe #normandy #etretat Hiking the cliffs of Étretat was one of the most unforgettable parts of the trip. It takes about 15 minutes to get uphill from the beach to the top, and the path is pretty straightforward, though a bit steep in spots. But as soon as you reach the top, the effort is completely worth it. The views are absolutely stunning. You’re standing on high grassy cliffs looking out over the bright white chalk formations and the deep blue sea. The arches and needle-like rock jutting out from the water look surreal, like something out of a painting. The contrast between the cliffs, the green grass, and the ocean is just incredible. There are a few spots where people sit in the grass and stare at the view. It’s windy up there, and the air feels super fresh. It’s the kind of place where you could just sit quietly for a long time and not want to leave.

#myhiddengems If you are headed to Upper Normandy and like the cliff side destinations. This coastal gem will make for a fantastic holiday. Over the last decade or so, I have visited Etreat a number of times with friends. The views are superb, fresh air and great seafood. This isn't a beach with sand, but of pebbles. What the French call Galet. And on the right side of the beach, there are actually some cliffs that you can walk under, and on top of the cliff is a church that you can visit.

Unlike the Elephant Trunk Hill in Guilin, Guangxi, the cliffs of Etretat in the Normandy region of France differ in two main aspects: one is the difference between river and sea, and the other is the number of formations. Etretat boasts three such formations: the youngest elephant has seen less of the world and is charmingly white; the middle one has seen more and is elegant; the oldest has endured hardships and is rugged. The youngest and middle elephants are well-known due to the works of Impressionist painters like Monet and are located at opposite ends of the beach. To see the oldest, one must climb atop the middle elephant's back, and to view all three takes at least two hours. For those driving, parking in the red zone near the visitor center costs 45 euros for over five hours, while the orange zone, about a five-minute walk away, charges only 7.5 euros for the same duration. Walking a few extra steps can lead to significant savings.

You should have heard of the famous "Sunrise Impression"? Monet was born in Paris. At the age of 5, the family moved to Le Havre in the Normandy region. So when he grew up, Monet painted his hometown of Le Havre. Not only that, the Elephant Trunk Hill near Le Havre became a Monet dish. With Monet's eyes on the country, the scenery in front of him becomes an oil painting. Back to Elephant Trunk Hill, as the name suggests, is the mountain that looks like a nose. There are three elephant trunk mountains in the Elephant Trunk Mountain Scenic Area. Because it is also called Elephant Trunk Hill, it is a friendly scenic spot with the Elephant Trunk Hill in Guilin.
