Planning on vacation in Europe but want quiet on the beach, without the noise? Her is the list of perfect destinations for you, according to the Daily Mail.
One of the travel brands conducted a study on where older people and those who choose places without small children prefer to vacation.
"With more free time, financial stability and a strong desire to keep exploring the world, baby boomers continue to travel, showing a growing interest in visiting destinations outside peak season," the company says.
They named the places in Europe where people go for a peaceful vacation, without noise and crowds of tourists.
Larnaca, Cyprus
Larnaca on Cyprus tops the ranking, a port city on the southern coast of the sunny island. This resort destination offers cultural heritage and a fairly lively promenade. Among the popular tourist activities are excursions to the Troodos Mountains, the country’s largest mountain range, as well as visits to the traditional villages of Lefkara and Fikardou.
Skiathos, Greece
Although Skiathos is known for its vibrant nightlife, the study shows that the island also attracts calm and mature travelers. Skiathos is one of the Sporades islands, an archipelago located in the northwest Aegean Sea. Island cruises are especially popular entertainment at this resort.
By the way, most cruises stop at nearby Skopelos, the island where the famous movie Mamma Mia was filmed.
