2. Ibiza - Party, party, party! If New York is the city that never sleeps, Ibiza is the island that never stops partying. This is the place to visit if you want to dance all night long and relax during the day. Of course, Ibiza is much more than just a party - but the shindigs are certainly a great addition to any holiday.

3. Iceland - Bring your sense of adventure when travelling to the magical island of Iceland. The capital, Reykjavik, offers a bit of cosmopolitan fun while the stunning nature will keep you enthralled for days on end. The natural beauty is quite literally the stuff of legends, so don't miss out on the amazing Blue Lagoon or the Northern Lights - if you are visiting during the right time of year, of course.

4. Corfu - It's difficult to go wrong in Corfu as many places there are listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites, such as the Old Town. History is always present and you can enjoy spending your holiday where the Romans once held court and ancient battles were fought.
