You'll soon realize that there's everything to love about it!
#3. Portugal
Sandy islands, sun-kissed beaches, picturesque bays and the old-fashioned charm of the medieval castles. While it's true that Portugal is no longer the Iberian Peninsula's best-kept secret, it's is yet fairly easy to escape from the crowds, even at the busiest resorts. It only takes a short coach trip or a walk across countryside to encounter secret spots, rarely visited by anyone, and get closer to the adventurous Portuguese soul.
#4. Egypt
Egypt’s ocean of sand stretches infinitely to the Sahara, with a handful of oases feeding solitary islands of green. Medieval fortresses huddle out there, just like hives, with bubbling springs and ghostly rock formations. Meanwhile, the deep, crystal waters of the Red Sea lie brilliantly awash in coral, surrounded by an aquatic frenzy of underwater life.
#5. Cyprus
The culture of Cyprus has been shaped for centuries by the Western European cultural influences and its geographical proximity to Asia and Africa. Although an odd kaleidoscopic mixture, the small island has its own definite and beguiling character. Wander through the sea of wildflowers covering the island in spring, and Cyprus will take your breath away. With good walking shoes, a swimsuit and some sunscreen in your bag, you can have a Christmas you’ll remember for years.
#6. Malta
Very few countries have such rich history, marvelous architecture and splendid beaches, all concentrated in so tiny area. Malta is an eclectic mix of North African and Arabic culture and Sicilian-inspired cuisine, it is a microcosm of the Mediterranean, with lots of its own unique charm.
#7. Spain
From sizzling paellas, spicy chorizos and chilled sangria, to amazing architecture, cutting-edge modern art and flamenco dancers in colorful costumes - Spanish cultural palette has a lot to offer to vacationers. Sun, sparkling waters and sandy beaches in vibrant modern cities, or green hills, tucked away fishing villages and rugged mountain ranges - the country has magical experiences to offer and a lot of beauty to enjoy.
#9. Morocco
If you really want to escape from everything, Morocco still has a couple of trump cards. The High Atlas mountains seem custom-made for hiking boots, with endless trails between Berber villages, and North Africa’s highest peak to conquer. Or if you prefer someone else to do the walking, simply saddle up your camel and ride it straight into the Sahara, to watch the sun setting over an ocean of sand.
#10. Thailand
