Cyprus

This small island in the Mediterranean will be one of the most popular beach destinations in 2024. Although geographically closer to the Middle East, culturally Cyprus is part of Europe and a member of the EU. Recently, Cyprus's popularity has been on the rise. This is due to its stunning beaches, as well as a rich combination of history, culture, and food.

There are many ancient ruins awaiting tourists in Cyprus, so if you love ancient history and have already visited Greece, Cyprus should be your next stop.

The food in Cyprus is heavily influenced by both Greek and Middle Eastern cuisine, making the country a true gourmet paradise.

Balearic Islands

These islands, located off the coast of Spain, consist of Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza, and Formentera and are currently breaking tourism records.

Each island has its own personality. Ibiza is known as the main party destination, while the lesser-known Formentera, located south of Ibiza, has a completely different, very relaxed atmosphere.

Mallorca is the largest of the Balearic Islands, and everyone will find something for themselves here: a vibrant city, history and culture, nightlife, and amazing beaches.

Meanwhile, Menorca is a quieter island that is great for families and is also known for its stunning beaches.

Albania

This is the best country for travelers on a budget. According to BudgetYourTrip, it is one of the cheapest tourist destinations in Europe - prices here are much lower than in Greece or even neighboring Croatia, which has become much more expensive over the past few years.

Nowadays, Albania's popularity is rapidly growing, primarily due to some of the most beautiful beaches in Europe, stretching along the stunning Mediterranean coast.
