Top 5 Europe Island Vacation

on Wednesday, February 27, 2013

The main advantages of island in comparison with the mainland resorts are the wild nature, clean beaches, possibilities of isolated rest and high level service. If most of the African resorts are rather hard to reach, then European islands are more accessible and no less wonderful with their offers.

Those planning a wonderful island vacation pay your attention to the following top 10 Europe island getaways!

Majorca, Spain

Majorca is known as the largest island of Spain. The landscapes of the island are simply amazing, plus here you get the chance to participate in all night long parties. The largest cities of the island are Palma and El Arenal. Both of the cities annually get a large number of visitors. 

Those who find themselves in desperate desire to get acquainted with the local culture might try to get out of the cities. Here, the locals live in ancient traditional villages. Most of them also offer cozy souvenirs, which you can take home to keep the memories of your crazy trip live.

Fuerteventura, Spain

This not that large island is marvelous for those who wish to have an active rest. Being a part of the Canary Islands, the place is rather windy. If this is a disadvantage for the beach resort, it’s a huge plus for the windsurfing, sailing and just surfing. 

The island is not far from Morocco, so the next stop might be made right into this spectacular and stunning Arabic country.




Ibiza, Spain

The place is mostly known as a hosting place for the loudest beach parties. Two of the clubs, Club Pacha and Space and Amnesia, are known to have scandalous reputation. It seems that music never stops here. During the summertime the island is full of celebrities, who love club partying. 

There might be no world-known DJ, who hasn’t played here at least once. Privilege Club is another noisy place, which is the largest club in the world with its 10,000 capacity. In contrast to the loud part, some rocky islets are just ideal for the calm welcome of the sunset.

Tenerife, Spain

This is the largest of the Canary Islands. Mostly the island appeals to the visitors not only with its natural wonders, but also cultural heritage. The most popular one is definitely State University of La Laguna. 

If you get lucky enough to climb up the Mount Teide, you will have a chance to view the entire island. This scene is something amazing. The mountain is an active volcano, so this takes quite a risk.

Rhodes, Greece

Greece is quite rich in islands, most of which are amazing and worth a visit. Still the forth largest one, called Rhodes is something unique. It is here, where you can find the famous giant statue of the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the 7 wonders of the world. 

In addition, in some of the places you will come across buildings and sights of the Middle Ages, so it is a world heritage site. And as a final remark, the island is also great for a beach vacation with its sandy beaches and clear water.
