1. Santorini, Cyclades

Santorini is both glamorous and beautiful. The island’s black volcanic Perissa and Kamari beaches are huge attractions as is the famous Red Beach near Akrotiri. Santorini curves round a giant lagoon in the Cyclades islands, offering stunning views from sky-high towns and villages, as well as fantastic local food and wines. You could enjoy the island on an Island hopping walking holiday to Naxos and Santorini.

2. Mallorca, Balearics

A walking paradise and also an increasingly popular destination for cyclists, Mallorca is the perfect place to seek sunshine from April through to October. Avoid the school holidays if you want a more peaceful experience and cheaper travel and accommodation. If you are looking for lots to do, hot sunshine, plenty of beaches and many family-friendly attractions go in the summer school break. Macs Adventure offers a collection of cycling and walking holidays in Mallorca.
