While it’s grown in popularity in recent years, Paros is still a little-visited island compared to its neighbours Mykonos and Santorini. This is set to change come 2025, when the island will likely, for better or worse, become more accessible via an international airport. My advice is to visit sooner rather than later; early October is perfect- the sea is warm, crowds have dispersed, and the light is particularly dazzling.

This one is hardly an under the radar destination, but the beauty, food, and people are magnetic. While Tuscany invokes images of rolling hills or the baroque architecture of Florence, it also includes a striking coastline of over 200km, as well as 7 islands that rival the likes of Ischia and Capri.

Marrakech is brimming with energy; for first-timers, the heart of the Medina can feel chaotic but the beauty of this city lies in contrasts: colours; cultures; leaving the sanctuary of a riad’s cooling courtyard for a bustling souk.

An island which is part of France but has a distinct culture and character, the ‘Ile de Beauté’ is brimming with beauty spots, delicious cuisine and spectacular coastline.
