When it comes to deciding where to voyage this summer, there’s really no wrong answer. Of course, the Caribbean is a tried and true standby, with pristine white sand beaches, lush jungles, and shoreside margarita bars ready to satiate your thirst in the summer heat. But don’t overlook our truly stunning ports in the Mediterranean or the Greek Islands. You could be spending your July strolling down the ancient streets of Santorini admiring the famous whitewashed architecture, wine tasting in the vineyards of Italy, or partying in Ibiza.
