2. Elafonissi Beach (Crete, Greece)
The crystal clear water of Elafonissi beach will take you to new dimensions of the world. For many, it represents one of the most beautiful aspects of the beautiful Greek island of Crete. It's downright magical. It is dotted with rounded rocks, the water along the coast is extremely shallow and calm. The colors are intense – turquoise water and almost white and pink sand. Paradise on earth.
3. Praia da Marinha (Carvoeiro, Portugal)
The beautiful Portuguese beach Praia da Marinha deserves a place among the top 100 beaches in the world. The fact that you had to walk many steps to get to it is easy to forget when you see the sea paradise in front of you. Sand, rocks, caves, arches, crystal clear water and an abundance of (under)sea life. Priceless!
4. El Cotillo Beach (El Cotillo, Spain)
A straight dream place for a peaceful summer vacation, which has already convinced many travelers. A beautiful and untouched destination that takes your breath away. We recommend a romantic evening walk along the coast that leads all the way to the nearby lighthouse.
5. Playa de Bolonia (Tarifa, Spain)
The pristine white beaches of the Spanish town of Tarifa in Andalusia are just as magnificent as the 800-year-old castle that stands proudly in the area. Surfing or kitesurfing is an absolute must at this end. The flora and fauna there are perfect for enthusiastic and curious divers. At night, bars, nightclubs and tapas bars give Tarifa a special charm, which are plentiful here.
