HEAVENLY BEACHES
UNESCO SITES
If nothing else, the mere mention of the Mediterranean, Aegean and Adriatic Seas conjures visions of pristine beaches and deep blue and green water. Every summer tourists flock to these destinations for the ultimate flop and drop holiday. Each country boasts their fair share of beautiful beach getaways and while the Greek Islands may snatch the lion’s share of visitors, southern Turkey and Croatia are also popular places to bask in the sun. Turkey’s hotspots include Bodrum, Fethiye and Kusadasi while Zlatni Rat and Grebisce are popular Croatian beaches.
There is no shortage of UNESCO World Heritage Listed Sites to be found in either Greece, Turkey or Croatia. Greece is home to an impressive 18 sites including the Medieval City of Rhodes, the sandstone formations of Meteora and the Old Town of Corfu. In Croatia, the walled city of Dubrovnik takes its place alongside Plitvice Lakes National Park, the City of Trogir and the Cathedral of St James. Some of Turkey’s lesser known sites include Pamukkale, Goreme National Park and the Old City of Istanbul which includes iconic buildings such as the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia.
