Tunisia

has a place called Sidi Bou Said, where all the photos are filled with pure blue and white, perched right above the azure Mediterranean Sea. After landing in Tunis, it didn't take long by bus to reach this legendary blue-and-white town. Honestly, the first glimpse was breathtaking. No filter needed! The entire town looks like someone tipped over a paint bucket but only used two colors: walls painted snow-white, and doors, windows, railings—even lampposts—all in that quintessential Mediterranean blue. The sunlight is unreal, shining so brightly that the blue gets bluer, the white gets whiter, against the backdrop of the deep blue sea in the distance. It feels like your eyes have been cleansed—so pure, so radiant. The town is built on a cliffside, with winding paths leading uphill. As you walk, you turn around and—wow—the sea unfolds beneath you, dazzlingly blue. No wonder so many artists and writers flock here. The scenery really makes you zone out, sparking all kinds of ideas.
