A couple of weeks ago, we published a post about World Words’ best summer travel content. And while we were trawling through the archives in search of summer-themed blogs, articles and guides, we ended up finding a lot more than we bargained for – too much to squeeze into one post, in fact. So naturally, we decided to write two.
This time around, we’ve got even more summer beach break ideas, including a guide to the idyllic Greek island of Crete, an article about yoga retreats (including seafront options in Goa, Nicaragua and Bali), and a press release for a dreamy beach resort in the Maldives. If you rate fresh air, mountain hikes and biking more than beachside bliss, then you can drool over Adler Mountain Lodge in the Dolomites instead… or if it’s a city break you’re craving, we’d suggest reading our guide to Sydney. Sure, it is winter over there, but winters in Sydney aren’t exactly harsh. And anyway, it’s the perfect season for exploring: the mild temperatures are ideal for walking, the accommodation prices and crowds are lower, and you might even witness whales making their annual migration to the Coral Sea.
All of this great summer-themed travel content is waiting for you below, so scroll on down to start reading…

Adler Mountain Lodge, Private Air Magazine
When it comes to statistics, the Dolomites are relatively unassuming. This northern Italian mountain range doesn’t boast the very highest peaks in Europe, nor can it claim to be among Italy’s top tourist draws. It is not one of the continent’s best known ski regions, nor is it a magnet for Hollywood stars…
