When most people think of a summer in Europe, it’s probably images of Italy’s pastel-and-turquoise Amalfi Coast they conjure up, or maybe Greece’s whitewashed islands of Mykonos and Santorini, rarely the lesser-known island-nation of Cyprus. Tucked away in the Eastern Mediterranean, just south of Turkey, it has always been one of the least-visited destinations by …

A country of 227 sun-drenched islands, exuding Old World charm and surrounded by turquoise seas, Greece is one of Europe’s trendiest summer destinations this year. Between Mykonos’ riotous party scene, Santorini’s whitewashed villages bestriding coastal cliffs, and Crete’s cosmopolitan feel, there’s plenty to choose from. Your options are more limited, however, if you’re actively looking …

Home to ancient cities with origins lost to time and some of the most picturesque beaches in the world—as well as the most crowded—the Mediterranean seems to be on everyone’s bucket list for the upcoming summer. Before you go ahead and book an overpriced Amalfi trip that will be anything from relaxing, with all the …

One of the most popular sunny destinations worldwide, the Mediterranean is at the top of every Europe-bound traveler’s bucket list this summer.

Croatia is a country of many islands- over 1,000 to be somewhat exact- and you’re likely to have heard of a trendy Hvar, an up-and-coming alternative to Ibiza, the resort-filled Krk at some point, or the idyllic Brač and its white-pebble beaches at some point.  Croatian islands are nowhere near Greece’s level of popularity, but …

Blood-orange sunsets with vibrant colors so surreal they look like impressionist paintings, vespa rides along a scenic coast hugged by turquoise seas, picturesque fishing villages that look as if they haven’t changed one bit in centuries… Sounds like heaven to you? Spring is finally here, and the Ancient Sea is calling: If you’ve been dreaming …

As you may have heard, things have been a bit shaky in Santorini between earthquake warnings, and if the bucket-list island is anything like last summer, then overtourism concerns will surely repeat themselves. On the bright side, Greece is home to 6,000 islands and many offer unparalleled views, whitewashed buildings draped with the kako mati, …

The country of over 6,000 islands, surrounded by the teal-colored waters of the Aegean Sea and boasting a rich ancient heritage, Greece is one of the hottest destinations to visit this year, both literally and figuratively, with one (huge) caveat: Santorini, Mykonos and the like are all succumbing to mass tourism, and between the surging …

Who wouldn’t want to go to Greece? Well, if you ask this past summer’s tourists, perhaps a lot, as they all but melted in the sweltering heat! But that’s not the point here, as we have turned our calendars to fall. The point is that France has a secret Mediterranean getaway rivaling Greece’s glorious islands …

Even if you’ve never laid eyes on it before, you can probably easily describe Santorini with precision: we all know it for the whitewashed, cliffside houses, caldera hotels with outdoor plunge pools overlooking the Aegean… and the crowds. Oh, the crowds. We won’t lie to you: Greece’s most famous Cycladic gem is indeed gorgeous, but …

Postcard-ready villages bestriding volcanic peaks, blue-dome churches, and a millennia-old caldera backed by azure seas: there’s many a reason why tourists keep flocking to Santorini year after year after year. Yes, it is gorgeous, and yes, sunsets up Oia Castle do feel magical, but elbowing your way through a dense crowd to get up there …

We’re not sure about you, but we can’t seem to get the idea of Vespa rides into blood-orange sunsets or lounging on a fine-pebble beach hugged by crystal-clear waters out of our minds lately.
