I have been in love with the Mediterranean cuisine as soon as I discovered how healthy it is. But although I learned to cook and I’ve tasted some dishes in other European countries, I know nothing compares to experiencing the Mediterranean cuisine on the Mediterranean Sea coast. Since the summer has just begun and you are looking at gorgeous weather on the coast at least until end of September, you may be looking at one of the best vacations you have ever taken. Mediterranean Holidays. Book and SAVE up to £100 .
I’ve always declared my love for Greece and Italy so I might be biased when I recommend either one (or why not both!) of the countries for your next vacation at the beach. And you don’t even need to believe me. Times OnLine has an interesting article about great Mediterranean hotels under £100 .
If you think that you cannot afford a vacation in Italy just because country is popular among holiday makers, the current world economy might just bring the perfect deals for you. These vacation packages in Italy will most likely make sure pack your bags and head to the airport. If you are not sure you want a package deal, then you can always book a cheap flight to Europe and one of the cheap hotels in Italy .
Cinque Terre is one of the most picturesque areas on the Mediterranean coast. The five beautiful coastal towns are dotted with spectacular yet easily accessible hiking trails. The trailed called “Via Dell’Amore” (literally “walk of love”) goes along the shoreline and offers some stunning views of the Mediterranean. The cities also boast some incredible sandy beaches: two large ones in Monterosso and a small one in Vernazza. If you are looking for secluded beaches, you should know that most of them are pebbled.
Greece, Turkey and France are affordable too
Then there’s Greece, a cheaper destination than Italy, although the very popular islands of Santorini, Mykonos, Rhodes and Corfu are known for the rather high prices. So this is way these rooms at prices starting from £200 per night on Corfu are a great choice.
If neither destination attracts you, then you need to know that the Mediterranean Sea also offers stunning beaches in Spain, France and even Turkey. With the closest beach located just a 20-min walk from the end of Las Ramblas, Barcelona is one of the most interesting beach destinations along the Mediterranean coast. After all, where else can you see incredible architecture, stroll on a popular street dotted with stores, cafes and restaurants and relax on the beach, without having to leave the city.
Then there’s the charismatic Nice, by far one of the most charming cities on the French Riviera. The Colline du Chateau offers some of the best views of the city. Or you can view the scenery from Mont Boron. While the public beaches can give you some stony experiences, the private beaches have some sand on them, so you can enjoy lying under the Mediterranean sun.
