Cooling down in refreshing water is one of the pleasures of a sun holiday. A dip in the sea is always a treat, but for a change we recommend some beautiful lakes. Lake Garda in Italy is a very well-known destination, so how about the Plitvice lakes? These gems are only a 2-hour drive from Rijeka in Croatia? Or fly to Grenoble and drive to Lake Annecy in France in your rental car. This is a great way to combine a road trip (with air conditioning!) and a holiday in the sun.
There are many beautiful islands in the Mediterranean Sea where the weather is almost always fine. Why not explore the breathtaking nature of the Italian island of Sicily and try the local wines. Or relax and celebrate life on Ibiza. Immerse yourself in Greek culture on Zakynthos or Kos. On Mallorca, discover the most beautiful beaches (Sa Calobra or Cala d'Or!). Whichever island you choose, you can be sure of sun, sea and sand.
Want to enjoy the sun while you discover a city? Fly to the south of Europe for pleasant warm weather. Climb the steep streets of Lisbon, discover Nice and the Côte d'Azur in France or order the most delicious pasta and pizzas in Rome. History buffs will love the Greek antiquities in lively Athens. Or fly to Barcelona, Valencia, Alicante or Malaga and combine your city break with the best of the Spanish coast.
