Here we are, as promised, with 3 new not-so-conventional destinations for you.
Today we will tell you about 3 amazing destinations that have not yet entered the radar of many travellers.
Almaza Bay, Egypt (~3 hours from Lugano)
The Hidden Oasis of the Mediterranean
Almaza Bay, located on Egypt's Mediterranean coast, is an exquisite hidden gem accessible by a short private jet flight from many European cities. With its pristine beaches, crystal clear waters and luxury resorts, it offers a tranquil escape from typical Egyptian tourist destinations. Winter is a great time to visit, as the climate remains pleasantly mild. Travelers can relax on the beach, indulge in water sports, explore nearby cultural attractions like Al Alamein, and enjoy authentic Mediterranean cuisine.
Cyprus (~3 hours from Lugano)
The Island of Myths and Legends
Cyprus, located in the eastern Mediterranean, is a perfect getaway destination. Although it is relatively popular, it still offers many hidden treasures beyond the more popular tourist spots. Winter brings cooler temperatures, making it an ideal time for outdoor exploration. Visit charming villages like Lefkara with its lace-making traditions, explore ancient archaeological sites like Kourion, or hike in the beautiful Troodos Mountains. Cyprus also boasts a rich culinary scene, mixing Greek and Middle Eastern flavours.
Matera, Italy (<2 hours from Lugano)
The Ancient City of Caves
Matera, located in the Basilicata region of southern Italy, is a truly unique and lesser-known destination that can be reached with a quick flight. Winter is a great time to visit, as the weather is comfortable (albeit cool) and crowds are thinner. What distinguishes Matera are its ancient cave dwellings, known as Sassi di Matera, inhabited for over 9.000 years. These cave houses have been transformed into charming hotels, restaurants and shops, creating a compelling atmosphere. Explore historic streets, visit rock-hewn churches and enjoy authentic Italian cuisine in this fascinating and culturally rich city. Matera was named European Capital of Culture in 2019, cementing its status as a hidden gem worthy of exploration.
