Among all Portuguese destinations, we would like to recommend the splendid Lisbon. It is truly a small pearl, a city characterized by a wide variety of views and panoramas. While the climate and water temperature in June don’t really make it a destination for beach tourism, it’s a great choice for those who don’t see bathing every day as a priority.

And, if you really can’t give up the sea, you can combine your stay in Lisbon with a visit to the Algarve, in southern Portugal. This city is reachable by car in just over 2 hours and 30 minutes. There you can admire spectacular, particularly windy and wild beaches, a favorite place for surfers.

There is no doubt about the beauty of nature and the Seychelles sea. Staying there will give you moments of pure relaxation between paradisiacal beaches and unforgettable snorkeling.
