Corfu, Greece
  • Resident population: 109,512 Annual visitors: 1,000,000 (est.)
  • Major features: beaches, archaeological sites, architecture
  • 7,857 TripAdvisor reviews of 745 accommodations, 25 attractions and 53 restaurants
Corfu refers to both the island and to its main town. Villages of whitewashed houses confetti the sunny isle, two to 15 miles off the Albanian coast.

  • Major features: beaches, water sports, nightlife
  • 3,957 TripAdvisor reviews of 207 accommodations, 68 attractions and 134 restaurants
Mountain views, raucous nightlife and a C-shaped bay with a plethora of beaches make Acapulco a more upscale, yet reasonably priced, escape than its spring-break cousin, Cancun.

  • Major features: beaches, surfing, Honolulu, luaus, ecotourism
  • 37,097 TripAdvisor reviews of 601 accommodations, 369 attractions and 1,686 restaurants
Say aloha to tropical breezes, oceanfront luaus and iconic Diamond Head on Oahu, the most populated Hawaiian island. Follow in the sandprints of surfing forefather Duke Kahanamoku on Waikiki Beach, visit the royal quarters of Iolani Palace and tour Pearl Harbor.
Paphos, Cyprus

  • Major features: historic buildings, beaches
  • 9,165 TripAdvisor reviews of 252 accommodations, 21 attractions and 78 restaurants
Paphos, the capital of western Cyprus, has some serious historical clout. Site of the vast fourth-century BC Tombs of the Kings, set high on a cliff above the sparkling sea, as well as a dramatic Byzantine castle and fine mosaics, it's also known as the birthplace of the goddess Aphrodite.
Miami Beach, Florida
  • Resident population: 87,925 Annual visitors: 10,000,000 (est.)
  • Major features: nightlife, beaches, shopping, art museums
  • 25,811 TripAdvisor reviews of 355 accommodations, 70 attractions and 400 restaurants
South Beach, or SoBe, is Miami Beach's buzziest bit. The vibrant area, with its pastel-hued buildings, hip nightclubs, trendy shops and see-and-be-seen restaurants, attracts socialites and their satellites year-round.
