Lihue, Kauai's capital city, is also served by the island's only airport, making it the most popular port of entry to Kauai and a hub of industry on this small island. However, Lihue retains its island charm and emerald beauty despite its urbanization. Spend the day sunbathing and dipping into the temperate waters at Kalapaki Beach before enjoying a luau at Kilohana Plantation. Step out of town to witness breathtaking Wailua Falls cascading over tiered stone to a drop of 80 feet.

Destinations of the Day
Honolulu, Hawaii
  • Resident population: 374,676 Annual visitors: 1,733,000 (est.)
  • Major features: beaches, surfing, Pearl Harbor, Diamond Head
  • 31,661 TripAdvisor reviews of 415 accommodations, 206 attractions and 1,127 restaurants
If you visit Honolulu simply for the wide Pacific beaches, the striking views of Ko'olau's pali (cliffs) and the laid-back "aloha" feeling, you'll be missing out on much this city has to offer.
Bali, Indonesia
  • Resident population: 3,150,000 (est.)
  • Major features: beaches, water sports, spas, temples
  • 23,258 TripAdvisor reviews of 1,197 accommodations, 146 attractions and 380 restaurants
The Indonesian island of Bali is a favorite destination for both adventurers and those in need of a little relaxation. The waters off the coast of Bali's white beaches are an ideal spot for diving, while the dense jungles, teeming with monkeys and hidden stone temples, call out for exploration.
Corfu, Greece
  • Resident population: 109,512 Annual visitors: 1,000,000 (est.)
  • Major features: beaches, archaeological sites, architecture
  • 7,853 TripAdvisor reviews of 744 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.
Marmaris, Turkey
  • Resident population: 30,000 Annual visitors: 1,000,000 (est.)
  • Major features: boating, beaches, nightlife
  • 9,917 TripAdvisor reviews of 398 accommodations, 27 attractions and 115 restaurants
A gorgeous backdrop of pine-clad mountains looms behind the seaside resort of Marmaris in southwest Turkey. Popular as a cruise ship and yacht port and with the British budget holiday crowd, Marmaris offers an abundance of fast food restaurants, the restored castle of Suleyman the Magnificent and an appealing cobblestoned old quarter.
Sardinia, Italy
  • Resident population: 1,655,677 Annual visitors: 12,000,000 (est.)
  • Major features: beaches, caves and grottoes, forest scenery
  • 13,012 TripAdvisor reviews of 1,399 accommodations, 81 attractions and 275 restaurants
The second-largest island in Mediterranean after Sicily, Sardinia serves up a lovely blend of sea, sand and history. Thousands of nuraghe (stone buildings) dot the landscape, proof that people have been enjoying the lovely climate here for millennia.
