The summer holidays are soon approaching, and now is the time to start searching for the best deals on flights and hotels for that much-needed summer break. That said, the world is a bit more complex than it was a year ago, with many places that seemed like a nice place just 12 months ago now looking not so hot. Do you fancy taking a hot girl from Lilyfields Brazilian London escort agency on holidays?
France suffers from regular terrorist attacks, Turkey seems to be determined to turn itself into a dictatorship, and even the good old USA has turned immigration into a Airlines don’t throw you off one of their overbooked flight while you are still on the tarmac at Heathrow. But that doesn’t mean that there is nowhere to go this summer. Here at Lilyfields we got together with our travel department to find the top 5 nice and safe destinations for the perfect 2017 summer holiday. And here they are.
MALTA
Malta has taken advantage of turmoil in the rest of the Mediterranean to become a true tourist hotspot in recent years, and is known to be one of the safest summer destinations in the region. A combination of hot summers, fascinating history and culture, a wide selection of sandy beaches, and an English-speaking population make any visit here an easy and pleasant experience, which is why so many British tourists come back here every year.
In summertime, you can take part in noisy and colourful village feasts, explore the interesting rock formations of the Maltese coast and take a boat trip to the world famous Blue Lagoon, where you can swim in some of the clearest waters in the Mediterranean. Just a 3 hour flight from London, Malta has so much in common with its former colonial master, with 3-pin plugs, driving on the left, and a fondness for deep-fried food. It’s just like Blackpool with sun.
TUSCANY
Located just off the coast of Tuscany, the island of Elba is one of the most beautiful in the world, as well as one of the safest. This 18-mile long island is home to a wide variety of landscapes, from jagged mountains to green forests and sandy beaches, and is dotted with charming villages and vineyards. There are a number of excellent cycling trails here, so if you want to work up a sweat before settling down to some delicious local cuisine, then this is the place to come, while the main town of Portoferraio has some of the most exclusive beaches around, where you may find yourself rubbing shoulders with film stars and footballers.
Visitors to this corner of paradise often wonder why the British exiled Napoleon here after the battle of Waterloo, as it must be the most beautiful prison imaginable. While Elba is undoubtedly gorgeous and exceedingly safe, getting here from the UK isn’t as hard as you might think, particularly in summer. There are weekly flights from London City connecting via Pisa, Florence or Milan Linate, or if you want to do it the romantic way, drive down through France and get a ferry from the Italian mainland to Portoferraio.
LISBON
The Portuguese capital Lisbon has become known as one of the coolest destinations to visit in recent years, with a charming old town, a revitalised dock area and some of the best surfing in Europe. The people fellow Iberians in Spain, the food is excellent and so is the wine, and the nightlife is top notch, with a cosmopolitan atmosphere guaranteed.
If home to beautiful forests dotted with royal castles, as well as luxurious beach resorts where the Portuguese high society like to as the beaches are some of the most picturesque in the world, located as they are between stunning cliff faces. If all this isn’t enough, the area contains some excellent golf courses where you can improve your swing. Best of all, Portugal enjoys a very low crime rate and terrorism is unknown here, so this is one of the safest places to enjoy your summer holiday.
ICELAND
One off-beat contender for top summer destination 2017 is Iceland. This beautiful island nation in the north Atlantic is never going to win prizes for being the place to soak up the sun, but in summer the country turns a bright shade of green, and the short nights make it perfect for exploring the incredible scenery. This land of ice and fire is dotted with active volcanoes and spectacular glaciers, and has been the filming location of choice for many of today’s most popular TV shows and movies, including Game of Thrones, Star Wars and Interstellar.
While the great outdoors is the big draw for tourists, the capital city of Reykjavik is also becoming more and more known as a sophisticated and cultured town. Check out the Perlan, a futuristic revolving glass-domed fine dining restaurant with views to die for, and make sure to take advantage of the hot springs. There is nothing quite like an afternoon at the Blue Lagoon (the Iceland one, not the Malta one) relaxing in nature’s own hot tub.
COZUMEL, MEXICO
If Europe is not your thing, then we recommend the Mexican resort of Cozumel. This beautiful island in the Caribbean sea is surprisingly unspoilt, and is known for white sandy beaches, fun party life and some of the best diving in the world. The waters are so clear at the Santa Rosa wall in particular that scuba divers can enjoy amazing up-close views of coral reefs while they play with turtles and cat sharks. This little slice of paradise is a great destination for both adventure and romance and, due to its year-round Caribbean climate, if you do enjoy your trip there in summer, you can always head back there for some winter sun too.
Those who like the great outdoors will love the exotic and untrammelled jungle, while party animals can go wild by diving into the abundant nightlife, as every night here seems to be a carnival. You can get to Cozumel either by ship, since most Caribbean cruise routes call at this destination, as well as flights from most North American hubs.
So there you have it. You don’t have to risk life and limb this summer by heading to a terror hotspot such as France or a police state like the US of A. Instead, choose a reliable and safe destination from our list above and enjoy a relaxing and invigorating time over your summer hols.
