Idyllic Islands of Europe

Orientation
Around the European Seas
Best of the Aegean
Internationally famous for their beauty, unique culture, history and the amazing beaches. The Aegean Islands are the most popular and world-famous islands in Greece. Amazing water sports, ancient Greek history, delicious cuisine, friendly locals and unique traditions are just a few characteristics you`ll discover on these islands.
The Mediterranean
The coastlines of southern Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa are shaped by the Mediterranean Sea.

The Adriatic Sea
The cities and countries that are situated on the Adriatic Sea are some of the most beautiful and awe-inducing vacation destinations in Europe. The Adriatic Coast stretches on for 2,300 miles, up the eastern coast of Italy to Slovenia, and then on from Slovenia to Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia again, Montenegro, and finally Albania. Come to the Adriatic and prepare yourself for an unforgettable experience.
Black Sea Coast
The Bulgarian Black Sea coast (called Chernomorie in Bulgarian) is one of the trendiest resort destinations in southeastern Europe. Once the playground of Communist Party loyalists and their families, today these resort towns rival the French and Italian rivieras. Many are `ancient cities,` having been settled as far back as five millennia. So, if you`re looking for an off-the-beaten-path beach vacation that doesn`t skimp on quality, consider the beautiful Black Sea coast.
European Seaside Resorts
French Riviera

The southeast coast of Provence, France, is sprinkled with some of the world`s most popular beaches and destinations, including Nice, Monaco, Cannes, Saint Tropez and Menton. Known all over the world for its glamour and beauty, the Riviera is a playground for the rich and famous and a true paradise destination. The French Riviera offers a picture-perfect stretch of coastline, historic hilltop towns, twisting mountain roads and white pebble beaches leading into the azure water. The entire stretch of coastline in the south of France is dotted with a countless number of sights to be explore.
Amalfi Coast

Just south of Naples, the beautiful and unspoiled Amalfi Coast, dotted with small seaside towns, is a true Italian gem of remarkable beauty and distinct natural landscape. Traditional houses, painted in pastel colors, follow the slope of the foothills of Mounts Lattari, creating a picturesque scene. From the characteristic terraces, the strong scents of the lemon groves, the vineyards, the broom and the vibrant colors of bougainvillea combine with the salt air to delight the senses.
Costa del Sol

Stretching over a 200 miles from Almeria to Tarifa, with wide sweeps of golden sand, white-washed villages, excellent golf, alfresco dining, fantastic warm weather year round, a wide variety of outdoor activities and some spectacular scenery, make the Costa del Sol one of Spain`s most popular tourist destinations. It offers beautiful landscapes; varied and exquisite cuisine; extraordinary marinas; friendly people; flamenco... and so much more!
Cinque Terre

Cinque Terre means Five Lands (in Italian), and this popular area offers five miles of rocky coast with five small villages (born in the 11th Century as fortresses) overlooking the sea, in the midst of two capes with hundreds of miles of beautiful paths. It offers a unique landscape with twisting coastal footpaths with breathtaking views; beautiful beaches with crystal transparent waters plus old churches, sanctuaries and castles.
Turqoise Coast (Mediterranean)

The Turquoise Coast is one of the most beautiful, unforgettable, and popular seaside resort areas in all of Turkey. The main cities along this stretch of picture-perfect shoreline include Kusadasi, Bodrum, Marmaris, and Fethiye, which are chock-full of not only beauty but thousands of years of history.
Costa Brava

One of the most romantic, stunning, unspoiled stretches of coast in Europe. Stretching north to the French border, the Costa Brava is about sun, beaches, coves surrounded by nature, refreshing dips in crystal-clear water, strolls along coastal footpaths, and charming fishing villages. Gloriously wild in parts and tastefully manicured in others, the Costa has some of the finest Blue Flag beaches in Europe, broad and sandy stretches to elegant horseshoe bays and secluded smugglers’ coves. Located on the northeast corner of Spain, Its coastline is almost 200 miles long and very varied, with wide bays, small coves and high cliffs.
Normandy Coast

The coast of Normandy stretches across almost 400 miles of fabulous shoreline. With its beautiful beaches, intense history, and picturesque ancient towns, the coast of Normandy has so much to offer. From elaborate beach resorts to quaint fishing villages, this region delights sunbathers during the summer and offers so much to see year round. For those who want to experience the serene beauty of France, you’ll fall in love with the slow pace, rich history, and beauty of the Normandy Coast.
English Seaside Resorts

The English seaside resorts were the forerunners to the modern-day British mass tourism industry, and even after more than a century they still welcome millions of tourists each year. Originally marketed as spa towns in the nineteenth century, these resort towns became wildly popular when marketed to the burgeoning, and at that time new, middle class in society. Arguably the most important and most popular of the English seaside towns are Brighton, located in East Sussex in the South East; Bournemouth, the largest city in Dorset, in the South West; and Blackpool, the largest city in Lancashire and situated on the Irish Sea coast in England`s North West.
