We already know how popular holidays like Italy Villas, French gites or Spanish casas are with the tourist masses, but there are actually a number of Mediterranean countries that are now considered to be very up and coming where this industry is concerned.
Of course, countries like Italy, Spain and Greece will always have that unbeatable charm and pull to tourists, but there is nothing stopping you from pondering over a couple of other ideas in this part of the world.
Croatia was immensely popular up until the early 90s. Yugoslavia, as it was then known, was easily one of the most popular Mediterranean destinations and welcomed many millions of visitors every year. Alas, this all came to a very abrupt end when the war broke out in this area.
This is all well and truly over now and the newly independent Croatia is back in business where tourism is concerned. The beautiful Dalmatian coast, which has an archipelago of numerous islands, and is dotted with quaint and beautiful towns and villages, is a fantastic place to try for a Summer sun vacation.
Believe it or not, but another destination that shares a similar history is Lebanon and this country is now also opening its doors to visitors. The historic places to visit and beaches are just two aspects of this amazing country and you should definitely investigate this idea more thoroughly before completely dismissing it out of hand.
