Greece: The Danes' favorite this summer
When we talk popular, delicious and sunny countries, then we will not get around Greece.
The Danes have always loved Greece; both the capital Athens, the delicious Greek food and the many wonderful little islands, which make up the Greek archipelago.
Greece offers a mix of delicious beaches, exquisite delicacies – such as fresh olives and feta – and a rich history with plenty of cultural heritage; e.g. the Parthenon on top of the Acropolis and the knight's castle 'Grand Master's Palace' on Rhodes. In addition, there is of course ample opportunity for Shopping og nature experiences.
Greece has both famous places you just have to experience and little hidden treasures hidden away from the tourist crowds.
Greece is especially an obvious choice if you are planning a holiday outside the school summer holidays. The weather can become almost unbearable in July and August, when temperatures can creep up to around 40 degrees. Greece is therefore perfect in June if you want to avoid the hottest summer heat.

Thailand: Visit the land of smiles in your summer holiday 2024
Our second offer is much further away from Denmark's borders, but an at least as big summer holiday favorite with the Danes, namely Thailand - the land of smiles.
Thailand is known for its bounty beaches, great snorkelling and diving opportunities, magnificent temples and, not least, sumptuous and excellent food – and you can travel there all year round, if you just choose the right places.
Go to Bangkok and experience a hectic and exciting metropolis, where the Thai tuktuk taxis fly past you and where the food markets abound with fruit, vegetables, meat and spices – both those on land and the floating markets. Take a break from the busy city and head out into the jungle and on the rivers.
If you are looking for something cultural, Thailand also has a lot to offer. Go to Chiang Rai and experience the White Temple, Wat Rong Khun, or go to the amazing island Phuket to see The Big Buddha.
If you have had enough big city and culture, then of course there is what Thailand is probably best known for, and which they make top marks: A sea of exquisite bounty islands and paradise beaches.
Thailand has a rainy season during the Danish summer, so if you want sun, warmth and bounty beaches, you must travel to the islands Koh Samui and Koh Phangan or some of the small smaller islands around Koh Samui that do not experience the same rainy season as elsewhere in Thailand.
There's something for everyone here, so just adjust the compass accordingly Thailand for your summer vacation and expect smiles and a “welcome back” from the locals.

Costa Rica: Summer vacation for nature and animal lovers
Third bid on the list is enchanting Costa Rica.
Costa Rica is located in Central America and is an overlooked gem. With a location between Nicaragua to the north and Panama in the south, Costa Rica also gives you easy opportunity to experience even more of the continent.
Costa Rica is a pure paradise of white bounty beaches and colorful rainforest. There are quite a few national parks around. If you are an animal lover, you can make a difference in several places to save the animals either practically or financially. Among other things, you can access Jaguar Rescue Center, where they rescue injured toucans and sloths.
Costa Rica is a small country the size of Denmark. This also means that there are more cards havet on both sides, where the crystal clear blue water beckons for a delicious dip. If your summer holiday 2024 should also be a beach holiday – mixed with some water sports and surfing – then Costa Rica should be on your list.
Turkey: Float into a wonderland this summer
Our fourth recommendation goes to Turkey.
Most people probably think of sun, beach and cheap drinks when they think of Turkey. Alanya og Antalya are excellent examples of this with miles of sunbeds right down to the Mediterranean , delicious beach restaurants and azure blue water.
But Turkey is much more than that. Heading towards the city of millions Istanbul, you fall into a fantastic mix of modern metropolis and ancient culture. In addition, Istanbul is also the only million city in the world, which is located on two continents; namely both in Europe og Asia.
If you go further east into the country, you hit Cappadocia.
The area offers beautiful mountains and a friendly people, but what Cappadocia are really known for are their hot air balloons. Hundreds of colorful balloons float quietly above and between the mountain peaks, giving you the most magnificent view of the national park and the surreal landscapes.
It is reasonably hot in Turkey during the summer months, but if you can handle the heat and can leave early, it's just a matter of leaving this summer.
Croatia: Beach holiday beyond the usual
Our fifth commandment is a little closer, namely beautiful Croatia.
Croatia is perfect for summer. The country offers crystal clear water, beautiful islands and Mediterranean food with lots of flavor. With a coastline of over 600 km and more 1000 islands there is plenty of opportunity to frolic havet, sail from island to island and taste everything good havet.
If you are looking for culture on your summer holiday, Croatia also has a lot to offer. If you go to Dubrovnik, probably one of Croatia's best-known cities, you will find a sea of architectural wonders such as the Fortress of St. John, the Sponza Palace, the Rector's Palace, the Franciscan Monastery and the Dominican Monastery.
In addition, Croatia is also an excellent starting point to visit Balkans and some of the other countries of the former Yugoslavia and environs. Slovenia, Serbia, Hungary og Bosnia Herzegovina borders all of Croatia and is obvious to visit on the way back to Denmark.

Austria is a country that many associate with ski holidays and snow, but it is actually also a fantastic travel country for summer. Visit the capital Vienna with all the cultural experiences the city has to offer, or take on drive yourself vacation through the country - perhaps on the way to some of the more southern countries like France, Italy or Portugal.
You can also make a stop in Spain. The capital Madrid is a cultural gem out of the ordinary, or continue all the way to the Mediterranean coast and experience Malaga, Granada and the Sun Coast.
It can get pretty hot in Madrid in the summer, and most Spaniards even travel from the capital when the summer heat hits the city. So if you're looking for more pleasant temperatures, the summer holidays are an obvious time to head for the mountains in northern Spain, e.g. Asturias.
Do you need less to bathe, but still have an interest in culture and nature, is Ireland a fantastic bid. Ireland offers some of the most beautiful landscapes imaginable. Yes, in fact, so beautiful and majestic that large parts of the series Game of Thrones was recorded on the green Irish island.
