The top 10 most beautiful islands of the Mediterranean, which take away the breath of tourists, were presented to readers by The Travel magazine. The most beautiful islands, as it turned out, are owned by Greece, Italy, Spain, and France, and the island state of Malta is also included in this list – on any of these islands, tourists will take their breath away, the publication assures. It is especially emphasized that although there are not as many islands in Europe as in Asia, there are some of the most beautiful islands in the world.
The top 10 looks like this:
1. Santorini, Greece – an island located in the Aegean Sea, is considered one of the most beautiful islands in Europe and is known as a fantastic place for romantic trips, including weddings and honeymoons. Fantastic beaches, which are also at the top of the most beautiful, are complemented here by amazing local architecture – houses on rocks overlooking the sea. The island can also boast of excellent wines.
2. Malta – an island state with several islands, always attracts tourists. The city of La Valletta and scuba diving are recommended to them as a separate number.
3. Zakynthos, Greece – The island offers tourists “relaxation and natural splendor.” It is also home to one of the most beautiful villages in the world and many beautiful sandy beaches.
4. Sicily, Italy – excellent cuisine, stunning architecture, mountains, and active volcanoes – these are the attractive aspects of the island, the publication calls. Tourists are also recommended to pay attention to “wine with a thousand-year history”.
5. Formentera, Spain – the smallest of the inhabited Balearic Islands offers “incredible natural attractions and a relaxed atmosphere”, tourists are offered “pristine beaches and charming fishing villages”.
6. Corfu, Greece – The “greenest of the Greek islands” also invites tourists to visit Corfu Town, the capital, which is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
7. Hvar, Croatia – the haven of “rich people in Dalmatia”, the island of Hvar is also known for its luxurious national park and numerous beaches.
8. Majorca, Spain – This island hardly needs to be introduced to tourists in detail. Suffice it to say that this largest of the Balearic Islands is visited annually by 30 million tourists.
9. Corsica, France – “It can be confusing and make you think that it belongs to Italy – but it is one of the most beautiful islands in France,” the publication paints. At the same time, the island does not have the same tourist hype as the others on the list – the beauty of Ajaccio and Porto Vecchio can be seen without special crowds of tourists.
10. Capri, Italy – “Capri has been one of the most iconic places in Europe since the days of the Roman Empire and still offers some of the most unforgettable experiences,” the publication reports.
