Unusual Holidays: Escaping the Tourist Resort

Many people are getting bored of holidays in resorts that have been largely influenced by British tourism, but it can be hard to find somewhere new. Luckily the increase in cheap flights to exciting European destinations has given us the chance to experience new places and soak up the culture of traditional towns and cities. This article explores the possibilities of holidays in lesser known parts of Croatia, France and Greece.

Holidays to the seaside areas of Europe are tremendously well loved amongst British holiday-makers. In fact holidays to The Costa del Sol, France and Italy are, in more cases than not, a routine trip for the majority of people. However, as great as they can be, many holiday areas are now missing the conventional charisma that is so wonderful about holidays overseas.

But there are still some little known treasures to see on European holidays, where you can come across empty seasides, traditional cuisine and take in the destinations culture

With a rise in the number of discount packages offered to formerly little known places, now is the perfect time to arrange holidays to somewhere unusual. But with so many added vacation routes to towns you might not even come across, it can be difficult to discover the right town to book for your summer holidays.

Here are some of the top, unusual resorts to get holidays with a change, so book immediately before the bistros start to offer up British food!

Island Hopping Holidays in Croatia
Sitting just beside the Dalmatian Coast is a variety of beautiful islands -amazing for investigating on lesser known holidays. These holidays allow you to jump from one island to another as you please. Take your pick from Hvar Island, famous for its open air nightclubs or the Elafati Islands for the tranquil beaches and traditional dishes, try the tranquil Kocolep where relaxation will not be interrupted.

Peaceful Holidays in Porquerolles
Enjoy the France with a twist, and indulge in the isolation of the tiny islands of Porquerolles, where cars are banned and congested seasides are nowhere to be seen. Its National Park grade protection means the sands are left unharmed - so you can get the chance to see this part of France the way nature intended. And provincial charisma is still alive throughout the isle, so take the chance to see how residents spend their days.

Dreamy Holidays in Kefalonia
As the location of the book Captain Corelli's Mandolin, you could suppose tourism would be rife on this Greek island, but that is not so. Rustic charm, old fashioned buildings and amazing food mean that the island still operates in a similar way as it did in past days.
