Europe: Our 5 Favourite Beach Destinations

It’s that time of year again! Yes, it’s time to plan a summer holiday. Being the over planners that we are, we have already got ours in the bag. July will see us heading The Balkans – Montenegro, Croatia and Albania to be precise. We are of course looking forward to exploring the cities, towns and villages of these countries, learning about the culture, eating the local food and drinking the local beer but we are also looking forward to lying on the beaches we find along the way. We traverse the world, sometimes at lightning speed, therefore when we get the opportunity to lay back on a golden sandy beach and soak up the sun’s rays, we grasp it with both hands. Everyone needs to take a bit of time out every now and again.

I remember the excitement as I packed my suitcase, ready to head to the airport and hit Ibiza with a group of my best friends. I was 21 and a visit to ‘the white isle’ was a rite of passage. When I thought of Ibiza, images of the ultimate party island sprang to mind – hours of excessive drinking, booze cruises and dancing till dawn in some of the world’s most famous superclubs and guess what? That’s exactly what it was because that was exactly what I went looking for. Unfortunately (or maybe that should be fortunately), my wild child days are long behind me and I have, for the best part, hung up my dancing shoes, but should that stop me returning to Ibiza? 

Places To Explore That Could Never Bore

Travelling can be an enlightening experience. Sure, short beach holidays are fun, as are holidays to places such as Disney World, but they don’t really give you the opportunity to explore the place you are visiting. Soaking up the sun and having fun at attractions are fantastic in their own right, but if you’re yearning for adventure then you need to spread your wings a little and explore not just the famous places and landmarks but the depths of those places too. Enjoy iconic landmarks, by all means, but don’t just take things at face value if you want to truly learn and appreciate your destination.
