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.
