Our list includes the blue islands of Mykonos and Santorini, Ischia which is famous for its thermal waters, Sardinia with its incredibly white beaches and the remarkably turquoise sea, Sicily with its numerous historical buildings and treasures, the island of Corsica with high mountain tops, Rhodes which is now a mecca for surfers, Gomera with its moon-like landscape, and Ibiza which is widely regarded as the kingdom of fun. Finally, there is the island of Mljet – still relatively unknown, but worth visiting as it is surrounded by the blue Adriatic, and from the air it looks like a lizard basking in the sun. Have a wonderful holiday!
