Can't get enough of summer, are you still looking for adventure or do you want to get away from it all? We give you 5 beautiful autumn destinations, for that last dash of sun or firm portion of culture!
Or Zakynthos
A clear blue sea and a pearly white beach: who says no to that? On Zakynthos, you can also enjoy a wonderful feeling of paradise in September and October. Go on an excursion to the world-famous Shipwreck Beach or swim among turtles. Is the sea too chilly for you? Go for a walk in the green, mountainous landscape and through endless olive groves.
Or Split
The autumn favourite to travel, according to many, is Split. It is wonderfully calm in this normally very busy city on the coast. You can visit the historical centre in peace and quiet and walk through beautiful national parks with fairytale-like waterfalls, such as Plitvitce or Krka.
Or Valencia
In autumn, the temperature in Valencia quickly rises to 30 degrees. Since Valencia is situated at the coast, this means a lovely time at the beach. From the city, you can also go on beautiful daytrips, such as the famous rice harvest in Albufera. Valencia also has many museums, so there is no lack of cultural excursions!
Or Amalfi Coast
The Amalfi Coast has, without exaggeration, one of the most beautiful panoramas in all of Europe. In autumn, it is still very sunny and warm and there are a lot less tourists. Ideal for the perfect holiday photo! You can rent a car and drive from Salerno to Sorrento, while enjoying beautiful views and delicious pizza.
Or Lyon
Lyon can be a bit chilly in the autumn, but no less worthwhile. This city has a rich historical past and was once the capital of Roman Gaul. The historical city centre is on the Unesco World Heritage list, which means that you can admire beautiful architecture there. Lyon is also called the capital of gastronomy, so it is ideal for lovers of French cuisine.
