Sibenik and the Kornati Islands, Croatia
Croatia, believe it or not, is still actually an option, even though its picture-perfect medieval cities and extraordinary coastline welcomed 20 million visitors in 2018. And one sometimes suspects that all 20 million turn up in August, when those straight-out-of-a-fantasy-novel fortified towns are bursting at the seams. Thank heavens, then, for Obonjan. This wellness retreat from the team behind the Hideout festival, sprawling across a private island of the same name, got off to a shaky start when it launched in 2016. But the kinks have been completely ironed out, and guests are guaranteed a tempting mix of yoga classes, chill-out music and glamping. Spare some time as well for Sibenik, a short speedboat ride away: a major historic city and a lovely labyrinth of chalk-white stone. A day’s sailing around the Kornati Islands – unpopulated idylls given over to vineyards, orchards, and little else – also supplies some much-needed mellow.

Llangollen Canal, Wales
For a quintessential summer jolly that swerves both busy cities and seasides, a canal-boating trip is ideal. This is self-contained, slow travel at its best: drifting through green and pleasant landscapes aboard your private vessel, with enough room for several generations of family, or else a few friends. Plus, despite the leisurely pace, there’s plenty to keep you occupied: be that the ever-shifting scenery, the pubs that tend to accompany overnight moorings, or attempting to navigate your way through locks. Probably the finest route is along Llangollen Canal, which passes through Cheshire countryside and Shropshire’s little-known lake district, before crossing into Wales and taking a hair-raising route over Pontcysyllte Aqueduct: an iron trough only just wide enough to accommodate your craft, with a sheer 120ft drop on one side.

Slovenia, Europe
This country has lately made a name for itself as European Region of Gastronomy 2021, showing off its distinctive wine culture (natural and orange varietals are big here) and established traditions of farm-to-fork dining. But still on the hush-hush side is the Slovenian Riviera, a 30-mile sliver of Adriatic shoreline with all the teal-green ocean and fairy-tale architecture of Croatia’s Dalmatian coast but without the crush of tourists. Even in August, when temperatures linger comfortably in the 20s, there’s little in the way of high-summer stress.

If you're dreaming of an idyllic South Seas island bathed in sunshine, the Mamanuca Islands in Fiji fit the bill. A short boat ride from the gateway town of Nadi, this picture-perfect string of about 20 islands are popular for their gleaming palm-studded beaches, crystal-clear waters, and thriving coral reefs.

When you first glimpse these tropical beauties, it's easy to see why Survivor and the Tom Hanks movie Cast Away were filmed on islands in this chain. When choosing where to stay, your budget and interests will determine the best Fiji island for you.

Called the Garden Isle, Kaua'i is a tropical Eden. Lush rainforests, waterfalls, and spectacular green coastal peaks lure nature lovers from around the world. A natural masterpiece of dramatic lava-sculpted landscapes, the island has a more laid-back vibe than its popular sister islands of Maui and Oahu.

Underwater, you'll find colorful coral reefs, where turtles and tropical fish swim. On land, you can bask on golden beaches, admire the cloud-capped scenery from the cliffs above Hanalei Bay, hike among the velvety peaks of the breathtaking Napali Coast, and explore the deep and jungly 10-mile-long Waimea Canyon. Tropical gardens, waterfalls, cute coastal towns, and fantastic surf breaks are other top Kauai attractions.

Aitutaki in the Cook Islands, with close ties to New Zealand, is a dream destination for closet castaways. Blessed with a luminous aqua lagoon, lush peaks, sublime beaches bristling with palms, and some of the friendliest people in the South Pacific, Aitutaki ticks all the boxes for the perfect exotic tropical vacation.

Rarotonga is the largest of the Cook Islands, and the main tourist gateway, but Aitutaki, a 45-minute flight away, is the jewel in the crown, and that's saying plenty in an archipelago of 15 ravishing tropical isles. Swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, and fishing are all popular activities in the Cook Islands, and the island offers a window into laid-back village life, which slows to a halt on Sundays for church services.

Plitvice Lakes National Park, Croatia
If you can make it through the crowds of selfie-taking tourists, you'll discover that Plitvice Lakes National Park more than lives up to the hype. The 16 terraced lakes of Croatia's most popular site are connected by waterfalls and vary in shades of blue, creating an infinitely dazzling result.

Playa de Las Catedrales, Spain
As a destination on Europe's Iberian Peninsula, Spain is renowned for its island paradises and semi-remote sand beaches. We're particularly big fans of Playa de Las Catedrales, a small stretch of sand on the Galician coast where natural stone arches form a walkable "cathedral" at low tide.

The Pitons, St. Lucia
The scenery of St. Lucia can be summed up in one jaw-dropping site: a duo of striking spires known as the Pitons. The two volcanic peaks—Gros Piton and Petit Piton—are the most iconic landmarks on the island, and visitors can enjoy them in a variety of ways. A singular experience has to be actually hiking the mountains, an activity which takes the better part of a day; or if you prefer to keep your feet at sea level, plop a towel down at Sugar Beach, set dramatically (and conveniently) between the two Pitons.

The birthplace of the Renaissance, in Florence you will soak in art and beauty like nowhere else. The city center is best experienced on foot as it’s small, made of narrow, winding alleys and reeks of history and grandeur around every corner.

Rome’s moniker of Eternal City wasn’t given by chance. With almost 3,000 years of history and culture, the Italian capital never fails to bedazzle visitors from all over the world. One of Europe’s highlights, you can explore endless Roman sites in many different ways depending on your style and preferences.

Not many people outside of Europe and the Mediterranean region know where Sardinia is. Most of those that travel to Italy completely skip it, preferring to go to more famous and catchy places. Yet, the second biggest island in the Mediterranean is packed with beautiful sights, and it never fails to amaze visitors. Those who decide to venture to Sardinia end up falling in love, and to their first visit will follow many more.

With the Guinness Storehouse continually being Dublin’s most visited attraction, we all know Ireland’s capital is famous for drinking. However, not many people know Dublin has so many more layers so let’s peel some of them back.

UNESCO World Heritage Site Thingvellir National Park is historically known to be the place where the first parliamentary assembly of Iceland was formed in the year 930, and was the meeting place of the Parliament for an uninterrupted period of 868 years, until 1798. There they met from all over the country, people who traveled for up to 17 days to be part of that holiday that was the Parliament meeting, a unique occasion to get drunk and dance with other faces beyond the few that they saw during the long and hard winters.

From mind-bendingly expansive and beautiful volcanic fields to picturesque villages, Iceland’s Snaefellsnes Peninsula is a must-see as you explore this amazing island. Choose from Arnarstapi and Hellnar, tiny fishing villages with equal shots at mountain, pebble beach, and ocean views. Or Lóndrangar, a windy, coastal overlook with sunset views of the Atlantic and some of Iceland’s famous “trolls” (bonus, find a native to tell you some troll folklore!). You can also visit Djúpalónssandur and Dritvík, black pebble beaches famous for the rusting skeleton of a shipwreck – if you’re lucky, you might even see an arctic fox!

Step on this active volcano and get ready for the time of your life. A group of islands within the Cyclades islands, Santorini was devastated by a volcano thousands of years ago, but it created one of the things that makes it so unique – its caldera is in the sea.

Natural beauty abounds on Greece’s largest island. From mountains to beaches to picturesque villages, you’ll love getting out and exploring every inch of Crete. The birthplace of the Minoans, the first advanced European society, and of the Greek god Zeus, Crete is packed with enough history to keep you occupied throughout your stay. History buffs need to make sure to visit the Heraklion Archaeological Museum, as the world-class museum is filled with Minoan art and artifacts. Castles, churches, and monasteries also decorate the island and make for interesting visits and excellent pictures.
