The Holiday Season is over and soon, spring and summer would arrive. In other countries, summer comes all year long. If local beaches and summer fun do not please, head on to these five great summer islands that would prove to be amazing once again this year!
South America is a nearby neighbor and Chile -- despite everything tourism-wise it has to offer -- has one island of pure bliss and mystery. Chiloe Island in Chile has about 16 UNESCO World Heritage Site churches worth visiting aside from local festivals and of course, beaches and boating perfect for that summer vibe.
If not South America, then something nearby: South Carolina. According to Travel and Leisure, reviewers revere South Carolina's Hilton Head as the world's number eight best island resort as it has a high score of 88.35. White sand beaches, amazing nightlife and a huge choice of luxury hotels for families or individuals make Hilton Head a memorable destination for summer.
Moving westward into Europe is Greece's Santorini. Anyone who has watched the 2008 "Mamma Mia" Abba musical movie knows Santorini's colorful island resort town with beautifully-ebbing properties overlooking a graceful sea just ahead. Nothing but the smell of the ocean and wonderful food and lodging in this island.
Nearby is Italy's Ischia Island that appears as a mountain fortress of a medieval nobility given its strategic natural defensive look as an island isolated against land-based warfare. Long ago a volcano, the volcanic island features amazing hot springs and volcanic mud spas. Trivia Time: German Chancellor Angela Merkel frequents this Italian island
According to South America Travel News, Peru's Isla Suasi is worth every penny just because of a kayak trip in Lake Titicaca -- which travelers longing to have solitude could find it in the waters not frequented by most tourists. If not the water, then island hikes guided by the local indigenous Uru people of the nearby Uros islands.
