3. Cala Xarraca (Ibiza, Spain)
This beach is not big, but absolutely one of our favourites! The small sandy beach in Ibiza is surrounded by rocks and the water is super bright. The view of the beach is not only incredibly beautiful, it is also nice and quiet. Most tourists continue to hang in the South, making the beaches in the North a lot more intimate.
Nearest airport: Ibiza Airport (IBZ)
4. Rabbit Beach (Sicily, Italy)
You will share Rabbit Beach in Sicily with a lot of tourists, but that doesn't make it any less beautiful. The water is blue, the sky is blue and all of the umbrellas are blue. Good luck with finding your beach bed since you can probably guess its colour, but once you've found yourself a nice spot, you can just start relaxing.
Nearest airport: (Connect in Palermo (PMO) to) Lampedusa Airport (LMP)
5. Elafonissi Beach (Crete, Greece)
This beach in Crete is beautiful pink. Perhaps even more pink than the beach in Sardinia. Here we recommend spending a few days. Dream away on a floating unicorn at the beach from your dreams.
Nearest airport(s): Chania Airport (CHQ) or Heraklion Airport (HER)
If you truly want to escape everyday stress, a Mediterranean island getaway is the perfect choice! Visit a Mediterranean Island for your next holiday.
