Top islands in the Mediterranean
Desiring a sun-and –sea summer holiday
destination where you can also party the night away? Travel website TripAdvisor
has come up with a list of the top islands in the Mediterranean sea. “All of
these islands offer pristine (原始的) beaches and their own unique features,” said TripAdvisor
spokeswoman Michele Perry. “Our travelers have identified the hot islands in
the Med this summer, especially if you want sun, sea and dancing all night”.
Cyprus, Republic of Cyprus
Visit Aphrodite’s birthplace in the eastern
Mediterranean. Beaches are the draw for many visitors to the island, but so is
the nocturnal (夜间的)
activity with Ayia Napa being the town to party in. According to one
TripAdvisor traveler, “we would have to say the Troodos Mountains were our
highlight. You will know what we mean if you take the journey. Breathtaking!”
Crete , Greece
As the former centre of the Minoan
civilization, it’s no wonder that Crete features lots of historical
attractions. Those in search of adventure on the largest Greek island can hike
down Samaria Gorge for wonderful scenery. As one TripAdvisor traveler said,
“Crete is an amazing place to explore ancient culture.”
Ibiza, Balearic Islands, Spain
Visit the party capital of Ibiza and feel
honoured by joining thousands of revelers(狂欢者) at Privilege, the largest club in the world. Besides the vast
nightlife, check out one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites, such as God’s
Finger, a large rock at the entrance of Benirras Bay.
Sicily, Italy
The largest island in the Mediterranean,
Sicily has the three Cs—culture, cuisine and calm. Laden with orange and lemon
