After tons of votes, we’ve rounded up the ultimate list of summer destinations. Whether you’re all about soaking up the sun on a beach or exploring a new city, these spots are guaranteed to give you that perfect summer vibe. At Flytrippers, we were curious to know which summer destinations our followers love most, so we asked — and received very diverse answers! Here’s a quick look at the results.
On social media and in our free newsletter, we regularly ask for your opinion on travel-related topics to help inspire other travelers.
That often means that the most popular countries and destinations are over-represented in the answers and that these are more the favorites rather than the best. However, it’s still very interesting to know which ones come up most often.
Here are the summer destinations our followers have shared as their favorites.
1. Greek Islands
The Greek Islands are hands down a favorite for summer getaways, and it’s easy to see why! From the stunning white-sand beaches to the crystal-clear waters, every corner of these islands feels like paradise. Whether you’re hopping between Santorini’s cliffside views or enjoying the laid-back charm of Naxos, there’s a vibe for every type of traveler.
Plus, the delicious food, rich history, and warm Mediterranean sunsets make it a spot that’s hard to forget. And with so many islands to choose from, you can always find that perfect escape — whether you’re after adventure or pure relaxation. It’s no wonder so many of you picked Greece as your top summer destination!
2. Spain
Spain is always a favorite when it comes to summer escapes! With its beautiful beaches along the Costa Brava, vibrant cities like Barcelona, and the stunning landscapes of places like Mallorca and Ibiza, Spain has something for everyone. The lively culture, delicious tapas, and passionate vibe make every moment feel like a celebration.
Whether you’re exploring historic architecture or just enjoying a sunset on the Mediterranean, Spain offers the perfect mix of fun and relaxation. No wonder so many of you chose it as your top summer destination — it’s got that unbeatable energy and charm!
3. Colombia
Colombia is quickly becoming one of the hottest summer destinations. From the vibrant streets of Bogotá to the breathtaking beaches of Cartagena, this country is bursting with culture, color, and charm. Medellín, in particular, known for its perfect weather, lively neighborhoods, and thriving arts scene stands out as a must-visit spot amongst our followers.
Whether you’re exploring the coffee region, soaking in the local history, or dancing the night away to salsa, Colombia is full of adventures. Just make sure to double-check the weather before booking your trip between May and September since temperatures and rainfall can vary a lot depending on the region.
4. Europe in general
European summers are always a hit! The top 2 in this list already are in Europe, but here are more destinations that came out equally on top — after all, the whole continent is packed with jaw-dropping destinations! From the sun-drenched beaches of Italy and the romantic ambiance of Paris to the wild, rugged beauty of Iceland, Europe offers endless possibilities.
Our followers are especially drawn to Italy’s charming coastal towns, France’s rich culture, and Iceland’s otherworldly landscapes. And let’s not forget Greenland’s Akunnaaq, a hidden gem for those looking to explore something truly unique. Europe’s got it all, and it’s easy to see why it’s such a favorite during summer!
5. Oceania
Oceania is another dream destination for summer, and it’s no surprise our followers are loving it! However, remember that being in the southern hemisphere, their summer runs from December to February! With its jaw-dropping landscapes, crystal-clear waters, and laid-back vibe, New Zealand and Australia are top picks for adventure seekers and beach lovers alike.
Whether you’re hiking through New Zealand’s stunning mountains or surfing the legendary waves of Australia’s Gold Coast, both countries offer endless ways to enjoy the great outdoors.
