The Most Beautiful Must-Visit Best Summer Destinations

S ummer is a time of exciting recklessness and riveting adventures that stay with you like marks of grass long after you’ve run barefoot on it. It’s a no-brainer if you’re cooking up a list of the best summer destinations to visit with friends and family, and we are here to help with just that!

This compilation will have you more than ready for that dream vacation just in time. So get ready to explore! 

Lounge in the Maldivian Summer

Truth be told, it’s always sunny in the Maldives. In a way, it’s God’s special child of all destinations to have summers all year round. Of course, some months are busier for the Maldives than others while some may see less sun than others. 

It’s a tucked-away paradise island that will have you frolicking in the sun; whether it’s surfing, snorkeling, scuba diving with the manta rays, or sailing across the Indian Ocean on the much-coveted “sunset cruise”, you will still have a gorgeous time. That’s, of course, when you’re not lounging and taking in the ethereal beauty of a Maldivian Summer.

From floating breakfast trays served in private pools in overwater bungalows to cottages reserved for the most elite, Maldives has something memorable to offer everyone. 

Eat Well In Crete

If you go to Greece you’ll surely return with three things: a glowing tan, a love for Cretan agricultural lands, and a growing belly from all the great food. We wish we were kidding but it’s the kind of fat you’re going to want to be once you see what menus in Crete look like. 

Besides boasting one of the World’s best cuisines, this Greek island will take you through breathtaking trails of Samaria Gorge, transport you in time at the historical Knossos Palace, and introduce you to the heirlooms of a people who perished long before us at the Heraklion Museum treasury. Another great reminder to eat, eat, and eat while you’re alive and in Greece. 

Romance with the Santorini Sun

If you want to be wooed off your feet, get off at the Santorini island of Greece instead. 

Not only do you dramatically increase your chances of running into the arms of a ridiculously chiseled, Greek god-Esque stranger but you will also have the most binge-worthy food to eat your disappointment away, in case it never actually happens. Santorini also offers a great variety of wine-tasting vineyards, Instagrammable picturesque villages, and the ever famous “Blue Dome Point.” 

Due to seeing the highest number of tourists in all of Greece, the great Greek cuisine has found a way to be available widely for famished tourists. 

Seeing the sunset over turquoise waters and the stunning Caldera formed by volcanic eruptions, you’re bound to fall for the aphrodisiac beauty of Santorini and realize it was the one true love you were missing all along. 

Work Up a Tan Fishing in Paros 

Another one from Greece but this one’s a quiet, serene kind of destination where you can lead a humble native’s life and lose yourself in the crowd. If you’re looking for a summer to connect with yourself, find peace, or have a quiet moment in the sun then you’ve gotten off at the right island. 

Paros is littered with traditional villages if you want to learn about the local culture or history of the Greece island in the Aegean Sea. Paros also has a 4th century Byzantine Church Complex. 

While most tourists decide to stay a maximum of 3-4 days in Paros, you never know which one’s your favorite Greek island till you’ve been to Greece.

Laze in the French Corsica Sun

With jagged mountainous terrain, overflowing thicket jungles haphazardly arranged new-era homes lining the coastal margin, and broken up peaks, Corsica is rich, complex, and tantalizing, just like a French dessert.

Don’t get me wrong, nothing about the Corsica Sun will let you be lazy but there’s enough to do all day to still be left with sunlight when you’re tired and sharing a drink. Just getting across would require you to switch modes of transit because of the varied terrain across the island but the benefit is that you get to see canyons, beaches, forests, and valleys. If you want to skydive but start small, Corsica has you covered with the most beautiful view and divers as young as 7 years.

You can enjoy the traditional Corsica Boar Stew, visit Napoleon Bonaparte’s birthplace, pay a trip to Scandola Nature Reserve decked by volcanic sites, and marvel at the marble 9th Century Bonifacio Citadel, all while being in the French Corsica Sun. 

With all this and more, Corsica definitely tops our list for the best summer destinations you ought to visit.
