[Cannes]mffoto/Shutterstock The weather is gradually getting warmer across Europe, which means travellers are beginning to book their summer beach holidays all over the continent. To find out where exactly they're going this summer, the travel-booking site RoutePerfect.com has released data for the most popular beach destinations in Europe. The results are ranked according to thousands of bookings made by travellers either through or on the website. From the sandy shores of the Amalfi Coast to pebbled beaches in Liguria, Italian destinations unsurprisingly dominated the list. Coastal spots ranging from Croatia to Greece — known for their history, culture, and parties — also made the cut. Check out the 19 most popular destinations for a beach holiday below, along with comments from RoutePerfect.com's CEO, Boaz Lantsman. NO. 19.
