The beauty of spring brings the whole bloom of inspiring travel destinations to discover. For those looking for visual delight – the breathtaking coastline of Amalfi, for those to celebrate unique culture – the colorful Andalusia, and for those wanting to immerse themselves into the mesmerizing fields of flowers – a romantic region of Provence. Marton Modis, VP of Business Development at KlasJet, shares the best travel ideas in Europe and insights into why it is worth travelling here this spring.
Cozy Amalfi Coast with Stunning Coastline
If you like Italian cuisine, can’t get enough of the beauty of coastline cliffs and mountains, and want to enjoy dozens of wildflowers, consider the gorgeous Amalfi Coast your top destination. In spring, you can avoid the large crowds of tourists and enjoy the warm sunshine. “Keep in mind that this region offers not only stunning sea views but also colorful small towns along the coastline, filled with rich history and local art. Take a car and appreciate the scenic drives around the Amalfi coast, beautiful villas, and gardens. But be ready to conquer some sights on foot, climbing some steep hills,” notes Modis.
Never-Ending Beauty of Provence and Lavender Fields
If you prefer calm but inspiring mornings, think about having a cup of coffee or tea on the terrace, surrounded by purple lavender fields, and enjoying the romance of Southern France. In the unique landscape of Provence, spring offers a breathtaking view of eternal flower fields. “Just imagine charming picnics or delicious dinners made with locally grown food in these picturesque surroundings. Moreover, sunny spring days are perfect for exploring the idyllic countryside and historic villas in the region. If you are looking for something even more exciting, you can choose a private jet to reach Southern Italy and catch the sunset on the Amalfi Coast. At KlasJet, we offer tailored destination arrangements to meet our clients’ wishes,” says Marton Modis.
Colorful Ferias and Flamenco Dancing in Andalusia
Fiery flamenco, Mediterranean traditions, and Moorish heritage – everything has influenced Andalusian culture and its rich history. Exploring the beautiful architecture and majestic historical sites of Granada, Cordoba, or Seville will leave you breathless, these are true architectural miracles. The best time to visit cities in Andalusia is in the blooming spring because you can avoid long queues and tiring heat. Marton Modis explains, “The region of Andalusia is also known for its vibrant festivals. The traditional celebrations, called ferias, are bursts of music, flamenco dancing, engaging festivities, and delicious local cuisine. One of the most impressive views during these festivals is horse parades. The best time to participate in the festivities and to capture stunning pictures is in April or early May.”
Wild Beauty of Nature in the Azores
If you enjoy wild nature, breathtaking mountain views, hiking or mountain biking trails, canyoning, or even whale watching, consider visiting the beautiful Azores Islands. Spring is the perfect time to explore this destination as nature here is in all its glory. Travellers can relax in hot thermal springs, such as Ponta da Ferraria, or take a walk around the famous Furnas Lake, which offers not only geothermal wonders but also a scenic trail. “One of the most spectacular views in the Azores Islands is blue and white hydrangeas covering the landscape. Spring is the best time to see the beauty of the lush islands,” highlights Modis.
