The summer on this continent can be pretty harsh, but once you come near the ocean you will surely forget the heat. So that’s what I am going to tell you about – the best beaches in Australia, where you can spend some amazing summer days.

I will begin with Palm Beach. It is located an hour away north from Sydney and visiting it is definitely worth it. The beach itself is about 3 kilometers long and has clean white sand all along. There are shops, restaurants and cafes on the southern end of the beach line. Half of the beach, where there are no parking spaces, is usually very calm and not really crowded. The waters are crystal clear and Palm Beach is one of the best places for surfing. There are also golf courses for those who don’t like lying on the sand. The active ones can take a walk to Barrenjoey Head and visit the lighthouse there with view of Broken Bay.

When you think of Cyprus, usually one of the first places that pops into your head is Paphos. It is by far Cyprus’s most popular tourist destination and looking back on its history it is not hard to see why. This article is about Paphos and particular the culture and history surrounding it.

One of the main reasons why the area is so popular is because it was once home to the mythical Goddess Aphrodite. When the Goddess mystically appeared out of the sea it obviously caused a lot of interest and thousands of tourists started flocking to the island. It became the Capital of Cyprus but today it is better known as a small harbour town.

Self catering cottages are some of the most popular tourist destinations in the UK. Their popularity is understandable. The one thing that separates them from other destinations like hotels and rest houses is that they accord customers the one facility that they always seem to desperately need – freedom.

Hotels for all their services can be stifling to some. Firstly, there is the constant attention of waiters and service people; and you are locked inside a room where the only outside view is the imposing skyline. Sometimes you need more that; in fact, you need to run away from the same concrete beauty. Self catering cottages offer you that escape. These cottages are located in the countryside, in the middle of nature. The air is cleaner, and the little noise that is there is of birds. It is a perfect escape form city life that is, these days, characterised by blaring horns and industrial waste.
