Athens, Greece 

Dubrovnik, Croatia 

Whether in search of a Balkan adventure, a romance on the dance floor of an ex-barracks-turned-night-club, a historical hangout worthy of a John Williams musical score, or some of the most succulent seafood in Europe, Dubrovnik refuses to disappoint. Surrounded by sparkling emerald waters, dramatic cliffs, and the illustrious Elaphiti archipelago, this extraordinary city’s beaches rank as some of the world’s finest, providing the perfect backdrop for its copious thrilling outdoor endeavors which can be found from the glistening coast all the way into the hinterland.

Sarande, Albania 

Sarandë is a lively coastal town in southern Albania, set along the turquoise waters of the Ionian Sea. Known for its relaxed Mediterranean feel, palm-lined promenade, and stunning sunsets, it has become a popular base for exploring the Albanian Riviera. Just outside the town lie highlights such as the ancient ruins of Butrint, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the natural freshwater spring of the Blue Eye (Syri i Kaltër). With easy access to nearby beaches, boat trips, and the Greek island of Corfu just across the water, Sarandë blends history, nature, and seaside charm into one of Albania’s most appealing destinations.

Mykonos, Greece 

Travel beyond the Mykonos that you’ve seen on your screen and lose yourself within the labyrinth of whitewashed building lined streets – accented, of course, by blue, green or red doors and handrails (and you thought your homeowner’s association was strict). Beauty is synonymous with Mykonos, and the only thing more beautiful than its aesthetic is its people and its acclaimed nightlife.
