With the right UK travel rulesFor Britons who have been fully vaccinated at least 14 days before departure, summer vacation abroad is now a realistic prospect.

The UK’s requirements still mean that antigen testing should be performed at least before returning, and PCR testing should be performed within two days of returning to the UK.

Some countries/regions still need to test before leaving, or provide a passenger location form (except for the UK’s own).

Croatia has an amazing coastline and islands, but some places can be crowded: Dubrovnik and Split usually fluctuate in summer; popular islands such as Rab and Hvar are also lively. Instead, head to lesser-known islands such as Dubi Otok, Brijuni and Lastovo. Any island that requires a double ferry boat may be a good choice. To really escape, you can try active holidays such as kayaking or sailing.

Malik Adventures heads to the Kornati Islands, where you will be lucky enough to see another tourist. Or head to mountains like Velebit, where there are great hikes and wonderful villages and mountain huts. Croatian food and drinks are first-rate, and usually in the mountains, you will find real gems such as Drniš, the home of the best dry-cured ham pršut.

Cyprus

Cafes, bars and restaurants are opened with reduced indoor capacity. The nightclub is open, but the dance floor is still closed.

In Cyprus cities such as Paphos and Ayia Napa, it is usually easy to find crowds. To stay off the beaten track, head to the Troodos Mountains in the southwest, cycle around the village or hike to Caledonian Falls.

Toubkal Mountain is 4,167 meters above sea level and is the highest peak in North Africa. It is the first important challenge for overseas travel in a long time. It usually climbs from Imlil, a small mountain village, and takes a taxi from Marrakech (67 kilometers are also often biked). These Atlas mountain villages are great for exploring, but you may have to wait until September when the weather is cool. You can travel from Imlil to Ijucak. Many British travel agencies conduct hiking trips here. Another great mountain is Mgoun Mountain, which is 4,071m above sea level. It is an inaccessible mountain above the Ait Bougmez Valley, where terraces rise from the side of the mountain.

Portugal

A very popular destination for the British, but Portugal still has many undeveloped areas outside of hotspots such as Lisbon, Porto and Algarve. The new walking and cycling routes in the mountains provide great opportunities to get away from the crowds. For example, Saddle Skedaddle took a great mountain bike trip, Atlantic Trails to the mountains near Sintra, and walking expert Intravel provided a wonderful journey through the country’s only national park, Peneda-Gerês, located in northern Spain On the border, there are wild horses and a small number of wild goats.

Spain

Entry Requirements: People who have been fully vaccinated do not need to be quarantined, but they must have a negative PCR test within 72 hours before departure. It is not mandatory to wear masks in public places. The bar is open as usual.

Not long ago, tourist hotspots like Barcelona called for restrictions on the number of people so that their communities would not be overwhelmed. The situation is very different now, but this is an opportunity to look at areas of the country that have never been registered on tourist radars. The interior of places such as Valencia and Benidorm are mountainous areas that have been declining in population in recent decades, but still boast magnificent traditional villages and ancient trails. In Catalonia further north, Wild Frontiers hikes through the Montseny National Park and also offers the opportunity to explore Priolat, one of Spain’s best but lesser-known wines.
