Travel to Europe-South Europe

When the decision to travel to Europe is reached, the problem is that Europe cannot be interpreted as a single country, as you could do with the United States. The cultural background that it exists in each country is absolutely different from the neighbors and has a very different history. Most times, it will also have a different language.
The way in which Europe has developed and this strong differences between regions makes it easier to take a decision about where you want to go. Intake of the continent in some parts, is the one I'm going to discover in this article South-Europe
That would be the European Miami, and mainly consists of Spain, Italy and Greece. Croatia recently has grown in tourism, but it's still far on the road. The visitor who wants to go to southern Europe in the summer is primarily a Sun & Beach tourist, anyone looking to visit the most beautiful beaches, warm water heater, etc. Yes, these are those who come back home roast fully because they forgot to put some sun cream on.
In any case, the southern region offers much more than Sun and beach, even if publicity campaigns sometimes seems to show the opposite. They have a very strong past, such as enormous civilisations colonised this country in ancient times. Italy has worldwide fame because of his eternal architecture, Greece offers some of the most ancient structures, especially in the capital, but also around all the Islands and in the central zone of the country, as Meteora monasteries. Spain also has a very strong history of get conquered and reconquered again. This continuous movement has many cultures to step foot in there and this has left many visible forms of art. The Arab influence was very strong during a period in the southern part of the country, and some of the most beautiful buildings from this time are still there.
The three countries are also famous for the Mediterranean blood that runs through the veins of the individuals. Probably the actual demanding society and stress is not really help this spirit to roam there forever, but still you will find a different character than the rest of Europe. Probably easier to make the first contact, but at the same time, more difficult to create a real ever lasting friend. The spontaneous nature is good for going out, but sometimes not for the longer relationship. After all, Italians have won the prize for the most outgoing people in Europe.
When it comes to food, Mediterranean culture takes a lot of good things from the sea and also has some of the most balanced diets that you can ever find. Also, especially Spain and Italy, are known for wine production.
You will not be the most beautiful cities of Europe in this region. The way of life tends to be a little disrespectful for public spaces and nature, and this is a lesson that as soon as possible must be learned. Security level is the lowest in the developed part of Europe, but it will not normally consists of direct physical violence, but most of the stealing of problems as a result of certain levels of poverty. Put an eye on each bag you have, hides your money in the right places, and avoid at all costs go alone at night in solitary places.
Airline connections are very good specially for Spain and Italy, as they strongly by Ryanair. If you want to travel to Greece, you can also find some higher rate flights from Italy, take a ferry from Italy to Greece or just make a connecting flight from Spain to London with Ryanair, and from there to Greece with EasyJet. The train service is not bad, but it still has a lot to improve the access to certain areas.
Finally, for winter sports lovers, don't forget that mainly in Spain and Italy, you will be the possibility of large ski opportunities, Cruise lovers will get their best touring in Greece around the Islands, or just taking a Mediterranean cruise which will give the three countries, and even Turkey in the same package.
What you are going, take it easy in the way we South Europeans do. Things don't happen very fast, and every good thing must be time to happen. No need to worry about a bit of chaos, and just enjoy what these ancient cultures have to offer. And don't forget about the sunscreen!
