There’s nothing quite like the feeling of sand between your toes on a summer holiday, but not all beaches are the same. So, here are five of Europe’s hidden gems for next year’s holiday inspiration.
Elafonissi Beach, Elafonissi, Greece
WHY? Located in south-west Crete, Elafonissi Beach is often split in two by shallow water, giving the impression of being a separate island. Adding to its beauty is the pink tone of the sand, due to the thousands of broken shells that line its shore.
WHERE TO STAY The Glykeria Hotel is just a short drive from Elafonissi Beach. Guests will love to take in the stunning sea views from the sun terrace. Book on glykeria.com.
Rabbit Beach, Lampedusa, Italy
WHY? Located on the southern side of Lampedusa, Rabbit Beach is best known for its azure waters and white sand. It’s also one of the few places in the Mediterranean where loggerhead sea turtles lay their eggs.
