But the 10 islands of the Mediterranean should giv

MOST BEAUTIFUL ISLANDS

e you the best taste.

CORSICA

The beautiful Corsica island, the fourth largest island in the Mediterranean, is often ignored (except for French, of course), where you can choose from for natural pleasures.

The challenging long distance walk of the GR20, thanks to its forest peaks, is famous for Corsica.

The best sandy beaches in Europe, as well as some beautiful historical cities, mountainous villages as well as rare rock bands. All that has Corsica, I count.

SANTORINI

The most stunning Mediterranean islands are not listed and Santorini is not listed.

Worldwide visitors come to this Greek honeypoton to witness its special clifftop building and a breathtaking panoramic view of the sunset. Santorini is the tip of a volcano, and its peculiar geological structure gives it an impressive lunar landscape and a blank wave pattern.

SARDINIA

Lovers of the beach ought to set their course for Sardinia, Italy. Sardinia is without doubt the second-largest island in Med, with its ample white sand and crystal crystal clear waters, is the best destination for beaches.

The luxurious Costa Smeralda is Italy's rich and famous flock.

The Gulf of Orosei and La Maddalena's secret islands are other highlights. Head inland for a unique antique culture and a untouched landscape.

FOLEGANDROS

The Greek island Folegandros is characterized by a special light that seems to come from the Aegean, like the Cycladic homes, rough seas, pristine beaches and powerful landscapes.

In the more famous Greek Santorini and Mykonos, Folegandros also offers a peaceful place you will not find.

HVAR

Hvar is perhaps the most stunning of all Croatia's (hundreds) islands. Lush, green and bright, with a range of lovely, preserved medieval towns and villages.

Nevertheless, Hvar is undoubtedly amongst the most popular destinations in Croatia and the main city is where magnificent people come by boat to experience some of the finest evening life in Croatia.

Seekers of solitude can go inland, enjoying an unspoilt, wildly herbal landscape.

MENORCA

The Spanish island Menorca is Sardinia's main rival for breathtaking beaches.

Menorca is small and less laid than Mallorca and Ibiza's balearic sisters, with beautiful bays and breathtaking sun blinded beaches surrounded by turquoise waters.

When you tire of discovering its 216 kilometers of shoreline, historical Mahon and Ciutadella are of cultural interest.

MALTA

Cultural vultures would love Malta, an island which, thanks both to Knights Hospitalier and other occupiers, is richly historically and architecturally, with its mid-Mediterranean location.

If you can arrive by boat–Valletta is an entrance that will not be forgotten in haste to sail into the capital (and UNESCO World Heritage Site).

Yet Valetta, with interesting villages, rockeys and ancient sites scattered around the island, is not just a baroque feast.

KEFALONIA

The colors of the Greek islands of Kefalonia will seduce you. Large green hills, sparkling beaches, and seas with an eclectically blue shade. It is a landscape that leads his devoted followers to poetic rapture.

In 1953 a large part of the original Venetian architecture on the island was demolished by the Elegant harbor of Fiskardo (a recorded occurrence in the Captain Corelli's Mandolin, set and filmed on the island), while Assos was sensibly restored.

MLJET

You want to just get away from everything sometimes.You will consider the Croatian island of Mljet if you love nature and peace and tranquility.

One of the greenest islands of the Med is a safe national park. Only birdsong and waves, you'll hear nothing. It has an exuberant beauty, its hills tapered in thick plants.

Search for the ice and its lakes, rent a bike.

MALLORCA

The island with everything–a bustling city, historic cities, night life, beaches, quaint villages–is the spiritual home of summer holidays in the Med Island, Spain.
