Europe's best-kept holiday secrets, according to our experts
When it comes to choosing a holiday destination, it pays to be different. Where's the fun in sharing your summer plans with friends only to find out they, too, will be joining the crowds on the very same stretch of Costa? Admit it, there's little joy in exploring the likes of Dubrovnik or Barcelona shoulder-to-shoulder with your fellow Britons or returning to the same hotel on Turkey's Turquoise coast to spend a week feasting on the same buffet as last year. To help spark some imagination when researching your summer break, we've reached out to The Telegraph's destination expert. As locals in Britain's most popular holiday hotspots, they know where to go when the summer crowds descend and you're in search of an authentic escape that's really worth sharing at the school gate – here they reveal their holiday secrets. Italy Valle Maira, Piedmont Alternative to: Rural Tuscany I first visited the Valle Maira – a long, Alpine valley in Italy's northwest corner – to hike its old Occitan trails, now beautifully linked as a long-distance path (Percorsi Occitani). What I found – beyond some of the best walking in Italy – was a not only a virtually untouched region (we saw no other walkers in 10 days) but an area, even by Italian standards, that was unbelievably rich and varied – sleepy medieval villages, distinguished by beautiful wooden houses; ancient, fresco-covered churches; excellent food and wine; delightful, romantic places to stay; and sublime pastoral scenery (as good as any Tuscany), along with breath-taking high, Alpine landscapes. Add time in nearby Turin, itself unsung, and you have a perfect Italian mix of town and country. It's hard to compare all of Tuscany – few places can match the artistic legacy of its towns and cities – but if you're searching for an alternative to its more popular rural corners, Valle Maira is a hidden gem. Insider tips Be sure to visit Elva for the church of Santa Maria Assunta and its extraordinary frescoed interior. Two of my favourite places to stay, both fine bases, are Locanda del Silenzio (doubles from £115) and Ceaglio (from £84 per person, half board). How to do it Inntravel (0165 361 7001) is almost alone in packaging a trip to the Valle Maira; a seven-day walking-based stay costs from £1,500 per person. Tim Jepson Turkey Palamutbükü Alternative to: Marmaris Just 55 miles west of the busy, full-English-breakfast-orientated resort of Marmaris, the picturesque village of Palamutbükü is my reminder that delightfully low-key breaks are still possible on Turkey's increasingly popular Turquoise Coast. Situated on the south shore of the narrow, limestone finger of the unspoilt Datça Peninsula, with views out to the nearby Greek islands of Symi, Tilos and Rhodes, Palamutbükü is as tranquil as can be. There really is nothing here except the smallest of yacht harbours, a handful of simple but appealing places to eat and a score or so pensions and small hotels. Even in high season, when Marmaris is bursting at the seams, there's plenty of room on the long, multi-coloured shingle and sand beach, which shelves into a remarkably clear blue sea. Insider tip Don't miss the spectacularly situated ruins of ancient Knidos at the tip of the peninsula, just seven miles from Palamutbükü. It's open daily (tickets £4.15). How to do it The beachfront Beyaz Inci, on the eastern fringes of the village, has e18 two- and three-bedrooms. Set in pleasant grounds shaded by pine, citrus and olive trees, it has its own private stretch of beach laid out with loungers and sunshades. Doubles from £149 per night. Return flights from Gatwick to Dalaman with Wizz Air from £59. France Hérault Alternative to: the Côte d'Azur In Hérault, people snigger into their rosé as those on the Riviera fork out €50 for a lounger. The wine is cheaper, the beaches and villages less crowded, and the only place that gets really busy is the Medieval village of Pézenas for the Saturday market, with its teetering trestle tables of fresh shellfish. I first came here with friends shortly after graduating. We cycled around the Étang de Thau, a vast saltwater lagoon separated from the Mediterranean by a narrow spit of land, stopping to slurp oysters at unassuming waterside shacks. Although half a dozen oysters cost just €10 on-site, Le St Barth Tarbouriech supplies several nearby Michelin-starred restaurants. The lagoon view is priceless. Bike has remained my preferred mode of transport, and on my last trip, I cycled the headily-named 80km Œnovélo loop, through vines and along the Canal du Midi. Learn from my mistakes and split it over two days to maximise drinking time. Insider tip Defying inauspicious beginnings (this water jousting festival started in 1666), Hérault is still at its most festive during the Joutes de Sète (Aug 21 to 26 2025). How to do it Doubles with breakfast at Château les Carrasses start from £170. Easyjet and British Airways both have direct UK–Montpellier flights. Anna Richards Spain If you've a hankering for Spanish paths less trodden, for fresher air and cleaner beaches, affordable seafood and locals not completely jaded by tourism, consider Galicia. Its capital, Santiago de Compostela, is a quietly impressive city of monumental buildings and arcaded streets, with the spectacular cathedral at its core. As the final point on the Camino de Santiago pilgrims' route, it has a headstart of several centuries when it comes to receiving visitors, the legacy of which is a fine range of hotels and some superb restaurants in every price bracket. Within an easy drive of the capital are colourful fishing villages such as Combarro and O Grove, endless beaches (most famously, perhaps, the pristine strips of the Cíes islands) and the dramatic lighthouse at Fisterra. Insider tip To really get away from it all, take a boat from Sanxenxo to the vehicle-free Illa de Ons and its sandy beaches. How to do it The Parador de Santiago de Compostela (0034 981 582 200; has double rooms from £140, including breakfast. You can fly from London Stansted to Santiago de Compostela with Ryanair ( from £32 return. Sally Davies Greece Sitia, Crete Alternative to: Chania With its picture postcard Venetian architecture and lustrous cobbled streets lined with (often pricey) tavernas and souvenir shops, Crete's erstwhile capital Chania is a magnet for summer tourists. By comparison, my go-to region on Greece's biggest island is so secret that most people don't even realise it has an airport. At the heart of one of Greece's most recently created Unesco Geoparks, the town of Sitia in East Crete has barely changed since I first visited 35 years ago. Descending in a welter of San-Francisco-steep streets from its Venetian kastro high above, Sitia centres on a sleepy harbour bobbing with kingfisher-bright kaiki fishing boats, and surrounded by budget-friendly tavernas. Consider Raki Meze or Inodion, where I've spent many balmy evenings soaking up tumblers of firewater raki with herb-spiked chunks of sausage, garlic-laden fried snails and other bite-sized meze snacks. A short stroll away from the town centre (or a quick pedal with the city's new electric bike sharing scheme) Sitia's blond sand beaches are rarely crowded, even in the height of summer. Insider tip For a livelier vibe, the seaside resort of Palaikastro, with its boho cafes and sandy coves (popular with windsurfers), is a 15-minute drive from Sitia. How to do it Sitia Beach Resort & Spa (0030 28430 28826; has double rooms from £95, including breakfast. You can fly from London Heathrow to Sitia via Athens return with Aegean ( from £225 return. Heidi Fuller-love Croatia Šibenik Alternative to: Dubrovnik, Split and Zadar While the Dalmatian coastal cities of Dubrovnik, Split, and Zadar get ghastly crowded with summer tourists, low-key Šibenik provides a welcome refuge of normality. Built into a hillside site overlooking a sheltered channel where the River Krka meets the Adriatic, Šibenik's medieval old town is a maze of cobbled alleys connected by steep stone stairways. Its main attractions are the splendid 15th-century Gothic-Renaissance Unesco-listed Cathedral (I adore the tiny baptistery, with its marble vaulted ceiling carved as fine as lace), and three sturdy hillside fortresses. Of these, St Michael's Fortress makes an absolutely stunning venue for open-air rooftop concerts – recent performers include Morcheeba and Air, and Morrissey will play this summer. Nearby, the cafe in the Medieval Mediterranean Garden, planted with fig trees, roses and aromatic medicinal herbs, is a restful retreat for a drink. Šibenik even has its own cluster of islands served by local ferries – tiny car-free Zlarin and Prvić, with their limpid waters, rocky shores, silvery-green olive groves and old stone cottages, are my favourites. Insider tip Be sure to eat at least once in the candle-lit courtyard at Pelegrini, opposite the Cathedral, in my opinion, the best restaurant in Croatia. How to do it Hotel Life Palace (00385 22 219 004; has double rooms from €90 including breakfast. You can fly from Manchester to Split with Jet2 from £131 return. Jane Foster Portugal Arréabida 'Comporta is no longer the secret it once was,' whispered over chilled vinho verde between the cognoscenti. It has been discovered. Its powder-white beaches are now frequented by day-trippers and guests of the hotels that are opening at a fast and furious pace. The original celebrity villa owners – who put Comporta on the map – are being crowded out. So, where to go now? My answer is to the unspoilt, green, rolling hills of Arrábida, just a little further north – an area of natural park, which encompasses the ancient towns of Setúbal and Azeitão. The former is famous for its oysters, the latter for its muscatel wines and its powerful, unguent, eponymous, sheep's cheese. There are walking trails along the cliff tops and golden beaches tucked underneath them, such as Praia dos Galapinhos, fringed by crystal clear waters. In the many bays lie restaurants, like O Farol (Farol), which you can swim into from a boat, or drive down to, dreaming of the coriander-flecked, garlicky clams awaiting you. Bottlenose dolphins are resident in the Sado Estuary, and I have been lucky enough to witness their joyful frolicking. Insider Tip This area was once one of the largest natural banks of oyster production in Europe. Head to the town market, Mercado de Livramento, in Setúbal to taste the goods. At the Exporsado stand, you can taste them on the spot, along with a glass of local sparkling wine, while they are shucking the oysters for you. How to do it Overlooking vineyards, framed by the Arrábida mountains, with a private path down to the sea, (00 351 265 249 650; a still family-owned manor house, offers double rooms from £182 per night, including breakfast. You can fly from London Heathrow to Lisbon with British Airways ( from £193 return.
