As we move into the heart of summer, time seems to expand to accommodate all the big and small summer promises we made in previous months. July spreads its carefree summer spirit everywhere.

4

The season has arrived when we float in azure waters and sail on seas of summer bliss. We begin to lose count of our first swims and ice creams, not because we’re satiated, but because we surrender to summer’s relaxed mood. The afternoon siesta erases every thought, focusing only on the sounds of cicadas. Evenings call for tavernas on the sand, clinking glasses with friends, and open-air cinemas.

Before July slips away as quickly as all the wonderful moments we eagerly anticipate, let’s make the most of it: with trips that soothe the soul and create the most beautiful memories. Each excursion becomes part of the rhythm of summer happiness and fills this year’s album of summer vacations with unique experiences.
