10 Great European Locations for Sunshine Holidays

by Paul Symonds

Europe is home to some of the best sunshine holidays in the world. Compiled below is a list of the top ten sunshine holiday locations in Europe.

1. Malta is an ideal location for a holiday in the sun. The Republic of Malta is an archipelago that consists of seven islands. With its beautiful beaches and leisure activities, Malta tops the list of sunshine holiday locations in Europe.

2. The Canary Islands off the coast of Spain has a warm climate with plenty of sun for those seeking a tan. The region also has an extensive range of plant and animal species and offers excellent opportunities for scuba divers and water sport enthusiasts.

3. Located in the Tyrrhenian Sea to the north of Sicily, the beautiful Aeolian archipelago is third on the list of best sunshine holiday locations in Europe. Decades ago, the island had experienced a surge of volcanic activity which left behind black sand beaches and rocky coastlines. This group of islands still has two active volcanoes the Vulcano and Stromboli and is a tourist's paradise. It has a warm summery climate tempered with Mediterranean breezes.

4. The green island of Tinos is located a ferry ride away from Mykonos. Tinos is steeped in art, history and culture and has so much more to offer than just the sun, sand and surf.

5. From time immemorial, visitors to Europe have praised the French Riviera or Cote D'Azur. This whole area is famous for its rich and influential tourists, and a visit to this region is one you are sure to enjoy.

6. For a taste of a Mediterranean summer, plan a trip to the Albanian Riviera. This region has escaped large-scale tourism and land ownership. A leisurely lifestyle, beautifully idyllic beaches and wonderful sunshine through the year are all features that make the Albanian Riviera the perfect location for a holiday in the sun.

7. Greece is home to the Peloponnese Peninsula that features pristine beaches and splendid greenery. This location is uncluttered and peaceful and its landscape comprises rocky stretches, lush olive and cypress groves and an expanse of soft sand leading on to the clear blue sea.

8. Just over an hour away from the Fiumicino Airport in Rome, is the virtually undiscovered Circeo peninsula in Italy. With spectacular mountain views and impeccable golden beaches, this location is among the top ten sunshine getaways in Europe.

9. Croatia, which is set in the north eastern shore of the Adriatic Sea features diverse geography and a wonderful climate throughout the year. Apart from the Dalmatian Coastline with over a 1000 islands, the country offers a little something for everyone.

10. The French island of Corsica is covered in thick Mediterranean forests and contains a national park within its confines. Whether it is a holiday to observe the varied species, or one to enjoy quality time on the beach, Corsica is definitely a "must-see" location for those interested in having some fun in the sun.

Losing Fat And Looking All That

by Jill Anne White One of the main motivators I used to help me lose fat was the desire to be stronger, faster to keep a step ahead of my fast growing, very fit young son. One of the best side-effects of weight loss are the compliments that are forthcoming from my friends. Now I am not saying I look all that, in fact, I am sure I'm far from it. I do think I am a better looking version of my former self though and I have to admit, it does give me confidence and I like thinking that maybe those second looks I get are for the right reasons now. The odd thing is, I didn't lose weight then start to feel confident about how I was looking. Instead, I began to pay attention to my good points, (we all have them, so go check yours out when you finish reading). Being happy about my best attributes helped put me in a healthy mindset for weight loss. I know many people think to themselves, "I'll be so happy when I lose weight, I'd be happier if I were thinner etc....

23 Top Tips for Planning a Great Wedding On a Small Budget

by Anthony Coogan Apart from buying a property, a wedding is the most difficult event that most people have to plan and prepare for. It becomes even more challenging when working to a tight budget. Here are some pointers to help you get the best value for money. How to Budget: When working within strict financial guidelines your wedding expenses have to be decided and planned carefully. Whoever is paying, whether it is you or your parents, or a combination of both, it is wise to set a limit of the funding available. Keep an eye on the big picture and be careful not to over commit.
