My rating of the best beaches in the world 2017

For four years, my top best beaches have changed a lot.
If in the previous article I loved the Caribbean region - the main number of your favorite beaches was there, then the Caribbean is closed.

Now, going to relax on the sea, I in addition to the budget, the trip is also evaluating the road: The duration of the flight, service of airlines, simplicity of movements and transfers in place.

Caribbeans - not an option and I wrote about it back from the next trip from Central America :.
However, the criterion for estimating the beach for me is the former and I quote myself:

That for me the best beach in the world

- clean, transparent and fairly calm water;
- Comfortable approach in the water - in order to swim, I do not need to go 100 meters in my knee;
- Clean the beach

Best Option: Coral White Sand, which does not heat like a frying pan
- Minimum people on the beach.

If sausages on the parachute are started on the beach, they thunder with aquabay - this beach is sent to the sucks;
- Maximum wildlife: I love, so that next to the beach there was something besides the sealing lying, for for more than 5 minutes I can not lie on the beach.

The easiest and most affordable vacation for me is.
Judge yourself: fly to the place 3-4 hours ().

Clear and healthy food: meat, fish, vegetables, greens, cheese, olive oil.
The purest sea and beautiful nature around.

Affordable, albeit modest housing - apartments (search for Buking.kom or on AirBNB)
Therefore, from Greece and begin.
