If you’re craving the warmth of the sun, the salt of the sea and as many sundowners as you can stomach, then set your sights on a popular beach destination in Europe. Sip wine along the winding Amalfi Coast or collect seashells from your island-hopping voyage of the Greek islands. Whether you’re in need of a tan or a few hours with your toes in the sand, these Culture Trip adventures give you a flavour of the best beach holidays in Europe.

A beach full of visitors sit around the rugged rocks of Polignano a Mare, Apulia, South Italy

Seductive Southern Italy

Where a mere trip to any beach simply won’t do, this sunny 10-day jaunt around Southern Italy works like a charm. Spoil yourself with a cruise along the Amalfi Coast and sunbathe on the shores of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Get your fill of waterfront sunsets and sunrises, which await you on the beaches of Polignano a Mare and others down the heel of Italy’s boot. Make sure you pick up a pair of shades somewhere between Naples and Leece – lest you spend all week squinting at the sparkling sea.

Greek Island Odyssey

Oh, the envy of your friends after they discover you visited not one, not two, but three Greek islands on your beach holiday. Sarakiniko’s lunar-like rock formations in Milos and the sun-drenched sands of Saint George Beach on Naxos will give you pristine photos to use as a postcard signed, “Wish you were here!” For companionship, you’ll have a group of like-minded travellers – as well as the ever-watchful Greek gods and a cold glass of ouzo.
