The Algarve
Home to some of the cleanest beaches in the whole of Europe, Portugal’s Algarve never fails to attract thousands of families in search of some quality time together in the sunshine. It’s equally as popular with golfers thanks to its world-class courses, which earned it the reputation as a luxury holiday destination, but in reality the Algarve has something for everybody on every budget – and once you visit, you’ll understand why the tourists keep flocking back.(Photo "Algarvian Landscape" by Aidas85)
Bodrum
Sunshine is as close to guaranteed as it gets in Bodrum, which explains why it’s such a firm favorite among sun-worshippers that desire nothing more than stretching out on a sandy beach, pausing only to fetch a cooling drink. Not that sunbathing is the only activity to enjoy on Bodrum holidays, as the azure waters are the ideal place to try your hand at diving, there are dozens of ruins and relics to visit around the island and there’s a great nightlife to boot.

Crete
The largest of the Greek islands is as rich with history as it is with stunning scenery, so you’ll find it tough to decide whether you want to explore the Greek ruins, or just lie on the beach and take in the views. This is what makes Crete a classic among holidaymakers – there’s always something to do, in spite of the island’s small size. From water sports to shopping, and fine dining to boat trips, you’ll never fail to be surprised at what Crete has to offer. (Photo "Panorama off Cretan Sea" by vizuan)
