Beach holidays in the fall – the most beautiful tips on the island in the Mediterranean

Procida, Italy: a beautiful colorful view in front of the city of Naples

When you first stay in Procida and look out from the terra Morata height above the port of Coricella, you will be amazed: the nested houses of different colors would make you think a giant poured a few pots of paint over the island off Naples. Procida is guaranteed to be more comfortable than the neighboring islands of Ischia and Capri. It remains to be seen if this continues. Because in 2022 the idyllic island will become the cultural capital of Italy.

Salina, Italy: more than just a beach

The island is one of the seven Aeolian Islands and attracts lush flora and diverse fauna. Like the sisters Lipari, Panarea, Vulcano, Stromboli, Alicudi and Filikodi, Salina is part of the UNESCO World Heritage. The Italian island off Sicily may not meet the expectations of the ultimate beach holiday paradise. Because the beaches are not abundant. However, a visit to this pearl is worth it only because of its nature. A species rich underwater world awaits divers.

Gozo, Malta: New Hope for a Collapsed Teacher

Coves, untamed romantic beaches, turquoise blue waters, and highlights like Blue Hole or Fungus Rock: Gozo has plenty to offer visitors in addition to 300 days of sunshine a year. The good thing about it: there is no group tourism, as most vacationers stay on the main island of Malta. So if you’re looking for a bit of peace and quiet, you’ve come to the right place – even if the island’s landmark, Window Azure, collapsed a few years ago during a storm. After all, reconstruction planning is already underway.

Serifos, Greece: Far from mass tourism

The Aegean island has a wild side, it is of unrelenting beauty with rugged landscapes. There are also wonderful beaches on the island, which is part of the Cyclades.

Speaking of the throne: One of the Cyclops is located in Cape Cyclops and be surprised by the wonderful view of the southwest side of the island. The hordes of tourists have yet to reach Serifos and they are (for now) staying in Mykonos, for example.

Vis, Croatia: From the restricted area to the filming location

On the Croatian island of Vis, off the Dalmatian coast, it goes easy. Only 3,500 locals live here. For decades, Vis, accessible by ferry from Split, was a military base and thus closed to the public. Fortunately, this is a thing of the past, because the island offers plenty of nature and beautiful beaches. These include, for example, Stonica or Stiniva Beach. By the way, fans of musical films should be aware of this or that location of Vis, since part of the movie “Mamma Mia 2” was filmed here.

Port Croce, France: holidays in the National Park

Lots of nature awaits you on the island off the Cote d’Azur. One of the first national parks in France was established here. 114 species of birds live in Port Cross alone.

Despite its small size, there is a lot to see, for example from vantage points such as Fort de l’Estisac, Mont Vinaigre, Pointe du Cognet and Pointe de la Galère. Meanwhile, the underwater world can be explored during a submarine tour.
