Have you considered Corfu as your next holiday destination? A lot of people tend to stick to the typical European destinations when choosing their next holiday. Why not branch out a bit and go on bargain holidays to Corfu? You'll be surprised at just how much there is to do here and it's perfect if all you want to do is laze around in the sun.
One of the great attractions in Corfu is the crystal clear waters and so Corfu holidays are ideal for swimming and snorkeling. Many small isolated coves are only accessible by boat and there are many boat hire companies offering reasonably priced trips around the coast, usually ending with delicious beach barbecues, mainly consisting of the local 'catch'.
You'll want to invest in a glass bottomed boat, as this is the only real way to see the fishes! These are available for hire from the village of Paleokastrista. They also do evening sailing voyages to the nearby islands of Antipaxos and Paxos. Whilst in Paleokastista, take a leisurely walk up to the Byzantine monastery, the Monastery of The Virgin. There is an order of monks still in residence and there are peaceful gardens and stunning views. Paleokristista, known as the Capri of Greece, is a lovely village and there are many walks around it.
Lots of people go on Ibiza holidays to get in touch with nature. A visit to the island of Tagomago is a must if you like wildlife. This island in the north west of Ibiza is renowned for its diversity of wildlife and has a network of nature trails. Another natural phenomenon in the island is the Las Salinas Salt Flats, close to the airport and on the southern most tip of the island.
The Carthaginians constructed this over two thousand years ago. The sparkling salt lakes make this an ideal venue to take stunning sunset photos. Stargazing is also a very popular pastime here too as there is good visibility and no light pollution. The caves at Can Marcha are alive with stalactites and stalagmites which have grown into distorted, wonderful shapes. A lovely place to visit when it's hot outside.
