Because they are outrageously beautiful, because their waters are too transparent because their landscapes seem to be nothing more than a dream, the following is a collection of islands that look like fantasy. Fortunately they are not, and the only barrier that keep us away from them is that they are only a few thousand miles away.
It took me a bit dear “lazy” friends but I managed to put in 1 (one) post with the 15 of the most scenic islands in the world (you might think it is easy but it’s not fellow penguins. The charm of the scenic islands is immediately apparent because as the word confesses (scenic:providing or relating to views of impressive or beautiful natural scenery) these islands talk with excessive pride of their pristine beaches, incredible pumice and dramatic cliffs.
Enjoy the post fellow Lazy Penguins and do not forget to point out your favourite scenic islands in the “comments” section below.
