1. Greece

Sunny Greece is ideal for those who do not want to travel too far and still prefer a comfortable and varied vacation. You can come here for different purposes: to relax on the beach (pebble, rocky, "wild", with white or black sand - your choice), for active tourism (hiking and horseback riding in the mountains, ecotourism, rafting, diving and windsurfing) or as part of a sightseeing tour of the cities.

Relaxation lovers will surely appreciate the beaches of the Peloponnese and Halkidiki peninsulas, and won't mind exploring the country's island region of Crete (Rethymno and Heraklion), Corfu, Rhodes and Santorini. On the plus side, there are wide beaches (both sandy and pebble) with well-developed infrastructure and clean sea. And low waves and gentle entrance to the water make them a great place for vacation with children.

In August, you should go to Igalo (a resort in the west of the country) if you want to improve your health at the same time, or to Risan, on the coast of Boko-Kotor Bay, to breathe the healing air of pine forests and explore the local sights. Party lovers won't be bored either - there is a wide range of nightclubs to choose from.

The beaches of Budva, Bar and Herceg Novi with excellent infrastructure, clean sand and gentle sea are invariably popular among admirers of sea vacation.

Tired of basking in the sun? Then go ahead, get to know the country better! Montenegro is a treasure trove. Kotor, Cetinje, Budva, Petrovac - this is just a small fraction of what awaits restless tourists.
