Mykonos
Greece is a fascinating destination with over 150 inhabited islands and 2,000 total. Santorini, Corfu, Mykonos, and Naxos are considered some of the most beautiful Greek islands, and for a good reason. Mykonos, for example, is the perfect blend of a relaxed destination and a party land, home to numerous nightclubs and gorgeous beaches. If you book a stay at one of the many luxury villas Mykonos-based, you can enjoy it all, so rush it up.
Sardinia
Sardinia may not be as famous as Sicily or Florence, but this doesn’t mean it’s not worthwhile. This island’s lures will have you in heaven. Sardinia has everything from turquoise waters and white-sand beaches to majestic mountains and colourful villages. Nonetheless, the beauty of this island lies in the never-ending list of things to do here. You can indulge in delectable treats such as octopus, seafood pasta, and fresh lobster, sunbathe on the beach, or rent a car and adventure into the local villages.
Malta
The island nation of Malta is a delight for millions of travellers around the globe, who agree that it’s more than a holiday destination but an open-air museum. And this museum has got everything from beaches and restaurants to caves, churches, marine sanctuaries, and historic monuments. Although geographically small, Malta boasts an entire paradise of attractions and activities.
Consider a cruise around Malta’s natural harbours aboard a local ‘water taxi,’ star gazing at Dingli Cliffs, horse riding at sunset, or a stroll around the beautiful city of Mdina. Malta’s old capital entices tourists worldwide with its cobbled streets, centuries-old buildings, bright-coloured doors, Maltese doorknobs, and vintage stores.
Nice
You may also want to spend your vacation in the heart of the French Riviera since you’ve heard a lot about this magical place. Nice is well-known for its bustling city atmosphere, luxurious vibe, and romantic culture. So, whether you crave indulging in a glass of quality French wine, visiting the wide variety of museums, relaxing on one of the many stunning beaches, or savouring the incredible food selection, this destination in the heart of the French Riviera has it all.
Egypt
This place needs no introduction, as it’s home to one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World: The Great Pyramid of Giza. However, the Pyramids of Giza aren’t Egypt’s only point of interest. If you spend your holiday here, you can also gaze upon the majestic River Nile while cruising and explore the old streets of Cairo. Khan El Khalili Bazaar and the Grand Museum are the main attractions in this city. If you want more, explore other historic gems on an excursion, including the Valley of Kings and the Temple of Horus.
Croatia
The serene coastline of Croatia is located between the Bay of Kvarner and the Gulf of Trieste. It allures tourists from all over the globe with its lush valleys, rolling green hills, sparkling waters, and coastal towns with beautiful private villas. George Bernard Shaw once stated that there’s no better paradise on earth than Dubrovnik. If you don’t believe him, see the impressively preserved 16th-century city for yourself.
Montenegro
This hidden gem of Europe has long been underestimated, but 2024 will be its year. Montenegro has it all: rich culture, fascinating history, stunning beaches, and even a Fjord. Tourists will likely seek this destination this year partly for its beauty and partly for its relative affordability.
Portugal
Portugal is known for its super-friendly people, excellent beaches, pristine countryside, delicious food, and historic cities. The region of Alentejo, in particular, is a travel favourite, boasting perfectly-preserved mediaeval towns and charming white-sand beaches. Algarve and Madeira should not be missed either, as well as the village of Sintra, famous for its fairytale castles, and, of course, Portugal’s capital of Lisbon.
Thailand
Due to its unique cultural heritage, the Land of Smiles has made waves in recent years. Tourists worldwide visit Thailand to get a taste of its energetic cities, Bangkok and Chiang Mai, marvel at the untouched countryside, and savour its traditional dishes.
Turkey
Turkey has never had a shortage of tourists, but 2024 will be big for this destination. With some of Europe’s finest beaches, luxury resorts, and superb cuisine, Turkey will make waves, and we expect cities like Istanbul, Urfa, Ephesus, and Ankara to be on a thousand tourists’ bucket lists.
