Paxos, Greece

The island of Paxos, in Greece’s westerly Ionian Sea, is a quiet retreat from the area’s typical tourist hotspots of Corfu and Kefalonia.

Its intimate size and lush landscape make it great for a relaxing break spent by the crystal-clear waters.

Although you could happily spend each day lounging on one of the island’s many quiet beaches, there are also plenty of charming villages, with Gaios and Lakka offering hidden coves to explore.
 
Menorca, Spain

As the quieter sibling of the Balearic Islands, Menorca is often overlooked for its more popular sister island Mallorca. However, if you’re desperate for a laid-back break with the classic Spanish appeal, Menorca might just be for you.

The entire island is protected by UNESCO as a Biosphere Reserve due to its wonderful array of biodiversity and endemic species. Its geographical location provides the perfect spot for island hopping too. Explore this serene environment an easy and luxurious way with journeys like those from MSC Cruises.
 
Cavtat, Croatia

Just south of the lively city of Dubrovnik, Cavtat is a town celebrated for its natural Adriatic beauty that remains unspoilt by the crowds. Its glistening waterfront and historic architecture have attracted sailors seeking solace on their long journeys for centuries and now entices people who want to escape the tourism buzz. Time spent in the Bay of Cavtat is sure to provoke a deep sense of tranquillity.
 
Gozo, Malta

Gozo’s slower pace of life compared to other islands in Malta’s archipelago provides an ideal change of scene for those wanting to relax.

Its rugged landscape also acts as the perfect terrain for hiking, diving, and water sports, so it’s great for an adventurous day combined with an evening winding down.  
 
Kalkan, Turkey

A town draped in the pink and purple hues of bougainvillea; Kalkan is Turkey’s answer to a haven of quiet luxury. Against the backdrop of the Turquoise Coast, it is located on The Lycian Way – a globally renowned hiking route.

If you’re in search of somewhere offering outdoor activities, chilled rooftop bars and ancient ruins, this Turkish coastal town is the spot.
 
These five destinations in the Mediterranean showcase the region's abundance of peaceful escapes from everyday life. With a choice between the historic charm of Gozo, Menorca’s unspoilt natural beauty, or the calming beaches of Paxos, you can be sure to find a serene oasis in all corners of the Mediterranean.
