]]>What Happened
With Greece’s tourism consistently on the rise, locals became increasingly frustrated by the huge crowds that occupied the beaches, both by people and loungers. As a result, they participated in protests to pressure the government into action. As a result, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced Greece’s new “beach bill”, aimed at making beaches more orderly and ensuring that there is sufficient space for both locals and tourists alike.
What You Need to Know
According to the new law, sunbeds can only occupy up to 30% of the space on regular beaches and a maximum of 15% of the space in ecologically protected areas. In ecologically “sensitive” areas, which are regarded as “untouchable beaches”, sunbeds are banned in their entirety. Furthermore, regardless of which beach you’re on, sunbeds must be at least four meters away from the shoreline so that there is enough space for everyone to move. By keeping these regulations in mind, you’ll be able to avoid legal issues while also ensuring a pleasant vacation for you and everyone on the beach.

A United States territory, Puerto Rico is fairly close to the mainland, resulting in affordable flights and no need for a passport to enter. This Caribbean island is filled with exquisite architecture as well as several free attractions to visit, including the Spanish Forts and of course, the beaches. Authentic local cuisines such as bacalaitos and mofongo also prove to be cheaper than other destinations.
Crete, Greece
Home to Athens and tons of islands, Greece can be expensive depending on where you go, particularly on islands such as Mykonos and Santorini. Fortunately, the island of Crete proves more affordable. With hiking, ancient ruins, and plenty of good food and wine, you won’t miss out on anything in this island paradise.

]]>With travel not being an option for the past year or so, and countries just starting to reopen their borders, it’s not surprising people are choosing to vacation later in the year.
“This year, families have taken longer vacations to make up for lost time and because their work or school schedules have been more flexible. Having experienced the booking spree for vacation homes this summer, travelers may also be taking their beach or lake vacation later because they just couldn’t get the house or condo they wanted in July or August,” Melanie Fish, Vrbo’s travel expert, told the outlet.

Sometimes the weather is even more enjoyable because it’s less humid. Hawaii and the Southeast like Outer Banks, North Carolina and Hilton Head, South Carolina are in high demand.
