Summer getaways for 2019

Escape to this ancient coastal city located in southern Italy. Naples boasts of old-world architecture; interesting museums; warm hospitality; and mesmerising sunsets over the Mediterranean horizon.

Amble along the grand street known as Spaccanapoli, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the pride of Naples. For a cultural experience, you can view a delightful performance of Neapolitan opera at Teatro di San Carlo. Besides, the six-acre large Piazza del Plebiscito is the ideal place to soak in the spirit of Naples.

Trek though subterranean cave systems and the amazing ruins of Galleria Borbonica and Catacombe de San Gennaro. To step back in time, travel ten kilometers from the city to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Mt Vesuvio. This is the historic volcano that erupted in 79 AD and wrecked Pompeii, transforming the landscape of the Bay of Naples.

A picturesque, walled city on the Dalmatian coast of Croatia, Dubrovnik pulses with historical significance. Its numerous forts, bastions and towers showcase the city’s war-torn past and hard-earned victories.

Don’t miss out on the Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with charming streets and quaint restaurants. You can also ride the Dubrovnik Cable Car and gaze at magnificent aerial views of the city.

When it comes to the Dubrovnik archipelago, two must-visit islands are Lokrum and Lopud. The former is home to the star-shaped Fort Royal. This is the highest point on the island and offers a hypnotic vista of the shimmering Adriatic Sea. The well-maintained Šunj Beach on Lopud Island offers shallow waters, ideal for families with children. This island is also home to many old churches, monasteries, forts and summer residences.

A modern leisure haven, this resort town in Russia offers myriad sports and recreation opportunities. It boasts of various attractions that promise a fun-filled summer for your whole family.

Visit Sochi Park to enjoy 5 interesting theme zones and 12 exciting amusement park rides. You can watch playful dolphins and fur seals perform at the Sochi Dolphinarium Riviera. If you seek some sun and sand, visit Sochi Central Beach.
