Destinations of our own continent, with sea, to travel in your summers
And while Greece is one of the top summer destinations, you also want to see something else. Because lies are bad, no matter how beautiful your country is, especially as a summer destination, it does not change the fact that it is your country.
It’s like going on vacation to your village. Of course you’ll have a great time, but you won’t have seen anything different.
Because on vacation, apart from rest and relaxation, you also want to see something else, which is not familiar. You want to hear another language, other sounds. To taste other dishes and get to know new tastes.
But you also want the sea.
