For many it is the most enchanting of the Greek Islands; for some, a favourite across the entire planet. On the island of Santorini, man and nature live in harmony. Born from the fires of a volcano, today it is a land of sea and wind with picture-postcard villages dotted on its rocky cliffs. Even if you've never visited Spain, you may well recognise some of the views and landscapes of Cabo de Gata-Nijar from scenes on the big screen. With its hidden coves, peaceful farm houses and fishing villages all bathed in the unique Mediterranean light, it's the perfect location for a relaxing family holiday. Secluded coves with crystalline waters, unspoiled islands, medieval villages with winding cobbled streets, and of course, charming fishing villages. The Costa Brava treasure chest is overflowing with natural, cultural and historical gems. If you enjoy your seaside holidays, why not take the idea one step further and try a floating hotel? From glass-floored bungalows set over the crystal waters of the South Seas, to chic ships at anchor on the banks of canals, rivers, and lakes, there's bound to be one that floats your boat! With over 1,000 islands dotting the beautiful clear waters of the Adriatic off the coast of Croatia, the area offers a stunning setting for a sailing holiday. Spend the day island hopping and exploring rocky coves, then return to harbour and enjoy an evening meal in one of the many picturesque villages that even in summer offer an escape from the crowds. The quiet golden beaches and ancient landscapes of the small island of Djerba are a haven of calm and beauty. According to legend, this land, where the air is full of the rich fragrance of the Mediterranean, inspired Homer when he wrote the Odyssey, and over 400 archaeological sites pay witness to the land's long history. The elitist fame of this beautiful little island in the Gulf of Naples dates from way back, but in the Fifties it was catapulted into the limelight as a haven for jet-setting stars and celebrities. Balancing its exclusivity with its bustling summer holiday alter ego, Capri continues to enjoy the simple things in life that southern Italy knows how to do so well. With medieval towns set atop verdant hills, and ancient fishing villages scattered along an unspoiled coastline, the Istrian Peninsula is a picture postcard world in greens and blues. Never mind global warming, the world economic recession and the conflicts and catastrophes across the planet. All around the world people are letting their hair down at carnival, the year's biggest party. Corsica, the birthplace of Napoleon, is an island paradise set amid crystal clear waters, where the spectacular natural setting is enhanced by the historical and architectural legacy.
