Best summer holiday destinations in Europe

As Covid fades from the news, the world begins to reopen.

However, if you thought that the relaxation of entry restrictions to European countries meant the end of great travel deals, you’d be mistaken.

There are still destinations in beautiful parts of the world that offer great value for money.

Check out our complete list of recommendations below.

Spain

What has modified? Face masks are no longer required. Unvaccinated Brits will still be denied entry until at least June 15, but anyone who has been fully immunized or has recently recovered from Covid can now enter without a completed travel health control form.

Where to go: For a summer atmosphere, nothing beats Ibiza. You could choose a larger, less expensive seaside resort, especially if you’re primarily interested in clubbing or beach clubs, but there are plenty of reasons to spend that money and stay inland.

Portugal

What has modified? Passenger locator forms are no longer required for entry into mainland Portugal or the Azores. However, you must still demonstrate that you are fully vaccinated.

Where to go: Not only is Portimo one of the Algarve’s best beach towns, but its seasides are framed by striking red cliffs. Praia da Rocha is the main attraction, with its warm, calm waters. The Old Town’s car-free shopping streets and a harbourside boardwalk are also noteworthy.

Greece

What has modified? Greece has repealed all Covid-19 entry requirements (except for wearing face masks during air travel) and lifted all domestic restrictions.

The best Greece vacation destinations include sunny islands, ancient cities, and the mountainous mainland.

Greece is one of our most trusted vacation destinations, somewhere we go every summer to get our sun and sea fix – so it’s a good thing there are so many Greece vacation options.

There is a holiday destination in Greece for everyone, whether you want to visit one of the thousands of islands, from the Cyclades to the Sporades, tour the classical destinations on the mainland, or admire the Acropolis in Athens.

Turkey

What has modified? Quarantine is not required for fully vaccinated travelers upon arrival. Show proof of a negative PCR or rapid lateral flow test, or evidence of recent Covid-19 recovery.

Here is a list of the best places to visit in Turkey during your stay. Istanbul is undoubtedly Turkey’s tourist capital, but Ankara, the country’s true capital, is also well worth a visit, as are the magnificent seaside resorts of Izmir, Antalya, Bodrum, and Marmaris. If you have the time, don’t think twice about taking a real road trip in Turkey. Travel from Istanbul to Kars by visiting the best hidden treasures in Turkey, including Alaçati, Pamukkale’s natural pools, Cappadocia, the Nemrut Dagi Mountain, and the Sumela Monastery in Macka.
