Corfu, Greece
  • Resident population: 109,512 Annual visitors: 1,000,000 (est.)
  • Major features: beaches, archaeological sites, architecture
  • 7,573 TripAdvisor reviews of 746 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
  • 3,920 TripAdvisor reviews of 199 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
  • 36,700 TripAdvisor reviews of 599 accommodations, 365 attractions and 1,684 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
  • 8,999 TripAdvisor reviews of 251 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
  • 25,502 TripAdvisor reviews of 357 accommodations, 69 attractions and 399 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.
