Two European Summer Must ‘Seas’
When you think of summer，the beach，clear water，sunny skies，and relaxing days are a few things that come to mind，and two of the best places to experience these summer feels are two gorgeous European bodies of water：the Mediterranean Sea and the Adriatic Sea! These two incredible Seas hold some of my favorite travel memories．and I would revisit each one in a heart beat!
The Mediterranean Sea
The Mediterranean Sea can be accessed from various European countries as well as a few North African countries．And while many think of visiting Ibiza，Malta，or the Greek islands to experience the Mediterranean，my Mediterranean beach days came while visiting the seaside city of Marseille in the South of France! Marseille was a lovely city with easy access to the Sea，also with pretty sandy beaches．The gorgeous crystal clear blue water made it unlike any beach day in America! Not only were the beaches amazing，but the city of Marseille was adorable and filled with numerous cute shops and seaside restaurants．And the Mediterranean-style food was delicious!
The Adriatic Sea
The Adriatic Sea is equally as stunning and surely worth a visit! The Croatian coast has numerous beach clubs，some private and some public，that tourists are able to visit and you can experience the beauty of the Adriatic Sea there! Zrce Novalja，a Croatian seaside town I visited，was impressively featured by the rather rocky beach in place of sand．The rocks were small and smooth，making swimming in the sea and wading in the water just as easy as sandy beaches! Plus the locals in Croatia are also extremely friendly，making the experience even more memorable．
