Off to the south The most beautiful Geotoura summer destinations 2024

Summer destinations: What more could you want?
My favourite destination to soak up the sun? Without a doubt: the South of Europe! Where else can you find such a variety of nature & culture, fantastic cuisine and beautiful beaches? Especially now in winter, the next sun holiday can’t come soon enough. It’s a good thing that many destinations are already tempting with warm temperatures in spring. What could be nicer than sitting in a street café in cities such as Sevilla or Bari in March or hiking through blooming landscapes such as Madeira , the “Hawaii of Europe”?
Or are you more “Team Summer & Beach” and can hardly wait to jump into the sea? The beaches of Albania with their white sand and turquoise water are reminiscent of exotic holiday destinations. With over 400 kilometres of coastline, you will definitely find your personal dream beach here.
Incidentally, the absolute all-rounder for me when it comes to summer destinations is still the sunny island of Crete . Mediterranean lifestyle, fantastic food, ancient cultural sites and dream beaches. What more could you want?

We were very satisfied with the overall organisation of the trip through Northern Greece. We were particularly surprised by Kastoria, where we saw an amateur theatre performance in the municipal museum, which is next to the hotel. From our room, we had a beautiful view of the performance. Away from the tourist routes, Kastoria is a place worth discovering.
