Beginners Guide to Mediterranean Islands

By some estimates, there are over 10.000 islands spread across the Mediterranean, with more than half situated in Greece alone. You would need multiple lifetimes to visit all of them. Some are simple rocks that protrude from the sea, while others are magnificent regions, sometimes housing whole countries. There are few places in the Mediterranean that are not worth a visit. But, if you are coming to the region, these are places that you just can’t afford to miss. #mediterranean #islands #greece #places #travel

#1 Tarifa

We are starting with an island that is not really an island, at least not anymore. While the old town of Tarifa is located on the mainland, the island with the same name looming over is on the south. The old town is one of the most charming spots with streets built to protect from the constant warm winds blowing from the south. The beaches of clear white sand are surrounding it to create the Costa del Luz, the ‘’Light Coast’’. If you are in pursuit of history, or a good tan, this is the place to begin. #tarifa #island #town #history #beaches

#2 Balearic Islands

It is fascinating that most people will recognize the names of Majorca, Menorca, and Ibiza, but few will realize that these places all form a single chain of islands. This is mainly because they are all so different. If you are out for history, you can’t miss Majorca as the city of Palma is now counting 22 centuries of recorded habitation. But, if you are there for a relaxing vacation, the calm beaches of Menorca are silent and soothing. And finally, there is Ibiza. With electronic music and gambling on one of the island’s many casinos. #balearic #islands #history #vacation #beaches

#3 Malta

The small island nation of Malta is often overlooked and missed, even though it is in the dead center of the Mediterranean. And when it comes to languages, you will hear four quite often on the island, and you should never ask anyone present to name them. Aside from English, there is Maltese, the traditional language of the island’s inhabitants. But, there is also a huge Yugoslavian diaspora on the island, many of them born here. Finally, there are a number of Scandinavian expats that form the fourth language. #malta #island #languages #maltese #mediterranean

#4 Cyprus

Last, but by no means least, Cyprus is the Jewel of the Mediterranean and a place where mythology, history, and reality meet. Anyone coming to the island for the first time will be informed about one thing, and that is the division. There are two parts of Cyprus, the south being predominantly Greek and the north being populated by Turks. If you are looking to bathe in the original sex-goddess bathwater, you can take a dip here. #cyprus #mythology #history #goddess #island

Barely Scratching the Surface

Six down, roughly 9994 to go. The Mediterranean sea is such a vast region with so many countries, places, monuments, and events that it couldn’t be described in multiple books, though some have tried. But, everyone needs to start somewhere. If you are planning your next trip and want to see what this part of the world has to offer, these are good places to start your adventure. #mediterranean #sea #trip #travel #islands
