Taormina, Italy

Sicily is an island off the southern coast of Italy.

It’s actually quite large so you’ll find that there are plenty of hidden gems on this Italian island but one of the cutest towns is Taormina.

Aveiro, Portugal

Since Portugal is still up, there are plenty of hidden gems that most people haven’t heard of. Aveiro is one. Aveiro is a small town that has a lot of cultures.

Camogli, Italy

Camogli is a small town located on the coast. It is not touristy at all so come here if you’re looking for a more traditional Italian town that’s mainly visited by Italians.

Cordes Sur Ciel, France

This medieval town is located in the southwest of France. Once you enter the arch, you feel like you’ve taken a step by in time. This is definitely more of a hidden gem as most people think of Paris or Marseilles or Bordeaux when they think of France.

Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland

Not so much of a secret especially in the European community, Lauterbrunnen has been gradually gaining recognition for its stunning in-the-middle-of-town waterfall that sets it apart from so many other Swiss towns.

Procida, Italy

Everyone’s heard of Naples and most everyone has heard of Ischia but few know about or have visited Procida, the tiny island off of Ischia. This slice of paradise has everything: cute Italian streets, great seafood, coastal views, and beaches.

Varenna, Italy

This Italian town is Bellagio’s little sister. Taking the ferry between the two towns is easy and you don’t have to worry much about the schedule. Varenna is adorable and just like Bellagio, has beautiful views over the water as well as cute streets 

Antiparos, Greece

This little island lies off the coast of Paros, its bigger and more popular brother. Only a 10-minute ferry ride from Paros, Antiparos is an island with lots of character, charm, and beaches!
