SOAKING UP THE SUN IN EUROPE AND BEYOND STAR COUPLES ON THE BEACH

MAKE WAVES AS SUMMER GETS INTO FULL SWING

- SOPHIE HAMILTON

Summer holidays are the perfect time to reconnect with loved ones and enjoy some quality time together. And that is definitely the case for a host of celebrity couples who have jetted into Europe to enjoy their holidays at some of the most beautiful and exclusive beaches in the world.

Famous faces have been soaking up the sun all across the continent, from the Greek islands to the French Riviera and Spain's Costa del Sol.

Hollywood actor Matt Damon and his wife Luciana Barroso looked like loved-up honeymooners as they made the most of their idyllic getaway, sauntering on the sand on the picturesque Greek island of Mykonos.

The couple, who have been married for almost 19 years, have been holidaying with their children, but that didn't stop them enjoying some romantic couple time.

The 53-year-old star of The Bourne Identity was spotted embracing his wife, 47, during a dip in the sea, while their daughters, Isabella, 18, Gia, 16 next month, and Stella 13, and Matt's stepdaughter Alexia, 25, relaxed on the beach.

Wearing a white bikini for the sunny family day out, Luciana looked relaxed and happy as she strolled beside Matt.

The holiday wasn't stress-free for the entire time, however. At one point, a popular beach club where they were spending the evening was evacuated due to a bomb threat. Thankfully, it was a false alarm and they were all able to resume their break.
