The closer the vacation, the more impatient many Russians are looking forward to how they will rest, basking in the hot sun of the south. Those who have a Schengen visa can travel to a number of Western European countries - Greece, Italy, Spain, Cyprus, Malta, Bulgaria, especially since there are a lot of good resorts and interesting sights. But the question immediately arises: which resort is worth visiting?
Instructions
Step 1
Outdoor enthusiasts who like to combine swimming and sunbathing with excursions and exploring the surrounding attractions will not be mistaken if they opt for such Greek islands as Rhodes or Crete. There is very beautiful nature, a good warm climate with an abundance of sunny days, many beaches - both sandy and pebble. Visitors to Crete can walk along a number of gorges, including the longest in Europe - Samaria, visit the picturesque Lake Kurnos, explore the Venetian fortresses in Rethymno, Chania, Heraklion, on the small nearby islands of Granbus and Spinalonga, see the Palace of Knossos.
Step 2
Tourists who come to Rhodes will be interested in the Old Town of the capital of the island with its preserved powerful fortifications and the palace of the Grand Masters, the excavations of the ancient city of Kemeros, the picturesque Valley of the Butterflies, the beautiful Acropolis in the city of Lindos (the second largest in Greece, after Athenian). The locals are very welcoming and hospitable. And thanks to the constant breezes, even the intense heat at the height of summer is easier on the islands than on the mainland of Greece.
Step 3
Malta can boast of a good climate, warm sea and a lot of attractions. True, the beaches there are rocky, there are few convenient entries into the water.
Step 4
The Italian resort town of Rimini on the Adriatic coast is very popular. There is a long strip of sandy beaches with a very gentle approach, thanks to which the water near the coast warms up well. The city has interesting objects of the ancient Roman era (for example, the Tiberius Bridge, the Arch of Augustus). From Rimini, you can quickly and easily get to a number of interesting cities: Bologna, Ravenna, Verona, as well as to the tiny state of San Marino, located on the top of a picturesque mountain.
Step 5
The French resort of Saint Tropez, one of the most picturesque cities on the French Cote d'Azur, was especially popular after the release of the films And God Created Woman, starring the young Brigitte Bardot, as well as a series of comedy films about the local gendarmerie, where the main role performed by the wonderful comedian Louis De Funes. Currently, this city is considered one of the most prestigious holiday destinations.
Step 6
Lovers of beach holidays and historical attractions appreciate Spain. Resorts such as Barcelona, Malaga, the Balearic and Canary Islands attract many visitors from all over the world.
