#JanuaryGoodPlaces2025 I decided to go to Okinawa for two days and one night because of the cheap air tickets. I also decided to drive around Okinawa. I rented a car from trip rental, which was generally very cheap and driving in Okinawa is not difficult. Although we returned after arriving at Guliyu Island due to time constraints, the sight of the gloomy sea in winter and the comfort of driving alone were so enjoyable that I could not stop!

Elafonisi Beach in Crete is an unmissable and charming destination. 🌴🏖️ This beach is characterized by its rare pink sand and clear turquoise waters that change color under the sun. 🌊☀️ The beach is surrounded by sand dunes and dense vegetation, creating a serene and captivating natural landscape. I had a wonderful time swimming and relaxing on the sand, and I wandered around the sand dunes enjoying the magnificent sea views. 🌅💦 The tranquil atmosphere and unique experience make Elafonisi an ideal place to unwind.
