Southern Europe is well known for its large cities, beautiful coastlines, historic monuments, and outstanding food. However, among the most unforgettable experiences are to be found away from the main tourist routes; in small villages, on quiet islands, in historic towns, and in coastal areas that are often overlooked a more relaxed aspect of the region can be seen.
For anyone travelling in Southern Europe who is looking for off-the-beaten-path places, these locations provide the chance to enjoy the local atmosphere without having to face the large crowds that are normally present at Europe’s most famous destinations.
