A place just for you, with warmth, sunshine, and beach is the well-deserved reward after so many months of restrictions and limitations. It's just a pity that most secret seaside spots are no longer so secret… Still, we’ve found some delightful places for you that are not yet overrun by tourists.
The Charm of the French South
For French Nobel Prize-winning author Frédéric Mistral, it was clear: “Whoever has seen Paris but not Cassis has seen nothing.” Indeed, Cassis—with its idyllic alleys, pastel-colored houses, street cafés, and small harbor—is a true gem on the Côte d'Azur. And once you discover the wild beauty of the Calanques, you can only agree with Monsieur Mistral. These countless fjord-like sea inlets with paradisiacal beaches are only accessible via the coastal hiking trail or by boat and are among the most beautiful landscapes in France.
The Forbidden Island
Pure nature, secluded bays, crystal-blue sea, picturesque small towns—that’s Vis. Until 1992, the island was known as the “Forbidden Island” and served as a military base, off-limits to foreigners and tourists. Located about 2.5 hours from the mainland, Vis is the most remote inhabited island in Croatia and the ideal travel destination for those who appreciate untouched nature away from mass tourism.
An Authentic Fishing Village
Marzamemi is a tiny fishing village in southeastern Sicily with an active tradition of fishing and fish processing. At the harbor, you can still see fishing nets drying in the bright sun, and local shops offer a wide range of fish products alongside regional specialties like the famous Nero d’Avola wine or Pachino cherry tomatoes. If you’re looking for glorious beach days in crystal-clear waters, a delicious fish meal with your feet in the sand, musical entertainment, and the vibrant atmosphere of a traditional Sicilian village, this is the place for you.
Green Mountains and Blue Sea
In the northwest of the Greek peninsula of Sithonia lies Vourvourou, a charming coastal village surrounded by many small islands, fragrant pine forests, and dreamy beaches. For families, the Karydi beach is especially recommended, with its gently sloping sandy bottom and turquoise waters. Snorkeling, splashing, sunbathing, hiking, or enjoying a tasty meal in a typical taverna—this charming spot fulfills every vacation wish!
