A dream long May weekend – where to go in April or May
The spring is finally here! 🧡 More sun, more fun, longer days, and the need to spend time outdoors. From now on we are going to spend more time outside, actively, close to nature. We can finally leave our winter hideouts in search for rest and new experiences. We dream of beautiful trips, wonderful views and endless evenings in some nice company. Spring is also the perfect time for travelling in Europe, visiting places where it is already warm but not yet crowded – it’s fresh and lovely! You can set off already in April, but the ideas here are actually perfect for a nice short holiday over the long May weekend 🧡
Lake Como
A wonderful place in North Italy! A lake whose waters shine in a myriad of colors, beautifully located at the foot of the Alps outlining the horizon. Plenty of options, a huge selection of activities, as well as the picturesque villages and little towns are among just a few reasons to visit this region. A wonderful idea for a few days of rest in a place overlooking the mountains, especially in the spring. Local towns have a lot to offer, not to mention long evening dinners with Italian food and wine which will satisfy even the pickiest of tourists 🧡 Moreover, it’s just a stone’s throw to Milan or Bergamo!
Crete
I absolutely love Crete with its diversity and traditions. Here you will find both the mountains and the warm sea, as well as ancient, historical ruins. We can stay in one part of the island and explore for a few days. I love Greek food for its simplicity and excellent quality, as well as for the unique taste of fruit and vegetables. Music, hospitality and ruralness of island life are excellent reasons to just get in the car, explore, enjoy the smells and the sounds! And if you have more time, you can also visit the nearby Santorini. Long May weekend in Crete is simply divine!
Sardinia
North-East part of the Island offers everything we crave after the long, dark winter months spent indoors🧡 Just a perfect place for a family holiday in Italy! Beautiful beaches which at this time of the year offer peace and quiet without the summer crowds, and the emerald waters of local bays will make everyone fall in love with that place. The luscious green is amazing, and the myriad of colors is simply out of this world. The La Maddalena archipelago is a paradise on Earth. Endless dinners with local seafood, wine and delicious deserts are a paradise, too – for your taste buds 😉
I am a huge fan of spring holidays in Europe, which I highly recommend – especially now! The long May weekend is a perfect opportunity for a beautiful, green, relaxing holiday! More affordable and less exhausting due to lower temperatures than the peak season. If you have a chance, even if for a moment – a few days, maybe a week – there is nothing that recharges your batteries quite like the Southern European sun, luscious colors, breathtaking views, beautiful towns and delicious food🧡 See you there!😊
