So let’s begin:

  • Madeira, Portugal
  • Azores, Portugal
  • Tahiti, French Polynesia
  • Asos — Kefalionia Island, Greece
  • Cavtat, Croatia

Madeira

In general you can find that Portugal is always a good idea mainly cause of its wonderful weather and since recently they reopen theirs terraces — biiig corona related progress! Specifically Madeira & Azores have been listed as one of the safest travel destinations during pandemic. Madeira does NOT require a quarantine in case if you have a negative PCR test which means once you arrived on the island you are allow the move freely. Restaurants, shops, hotels and bars are open and there is no curfew — how about booking a plane ticket right away?! Also you can read all you need to know regarding the situation, on the following link.

Azores

The situation on beautiful islands of Azores is pretty same as the one in Madeira since both islands are situated far far from the land which helped them remain in the green zone with one of the lowest rates of active cases in Europe. No quarantine (if you have a negative test of course), restaurants are open, masks are not mandatory on the beach and what more can you ask? Before your trip, make sure you checked this website for all latest info. Azores is group of 9 islands full of wonder and I recommend you to take your time to visit them all. Here are many ideas on how to seize the most out of Azores.

Tahiti

After two gorgeous islands it’s time for another one but this time we move bit more south in the very center of Pacific Ocean. This really exotic island has been rated as a safe destination with plenty of activates to do outdoor. Mentioning that you will need a negative PCR test is getting kind of boring already I guess we can get used to that being a rule to move from one country to another, but the good thing is that once you arrived you are free to go, no quarantine needed. Tahiti brings you outstanding hiking trails, beautiful underwater experience while scuba diving, relaxing spots with breathtaking views while exploring Tahitian culture as well as the rich & tasty gastronomy.

Assos, Kefalonia

I believe you got already the idea of islands being the best options for travelling in 2021. and that’s why I am adding one more to the list but this time a Greek one. Kefalonia is an island located in Ionian sea and one little cute place we recommend you to go is Assos. It is an old fishing village which means you get to taste some fresh fish straight from the sea to your table, isn’t that amazing? Unlike other places there still are some restrictions to enter Greece but more on that you can find here.

Cavtat

And the last one on our list of safest places to travel is a small town in the south of Croatia. Currently terraces had just open for this part of Croatia, which means you can have a tasty meal or drink delicious coffee just a few meters from one of the world’s most beautiful sea. Cavtat will help you slow down and enjoy the life, even in rough situations like the one we are all experiencing. Make sure you fill this in before your arrival to Croatia. In case you decide to visit Cavtat you can also drive few more kilometers and visit one of the most famous cities in Croatia — Dubrovnik.
