Corsica, France
Geographically closer to Italy, this French island has a little bit of everything. This is the island where Henry Matisse, a famous artist, fell in love with color. Corsica is known for its amazing hiking trails in the lush, rugged nature reserve, but for those who'd prefer to hang out at sea level, there's plenty to do, from snorkeling(潜泳)to sun bathing and swimming. So outdoor adventure-seekers will especially love it.
Gotland, Sweden
The Baltic Sea is dotted with gorgeous islands, though they're admittedly quite a bit cooler than those along the Mediterranean. Gotland is off the Southeastern coast of Sweden. The old city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with a preserved medieval wall and rows of seriously charming homes in vivid colors and flowers.
Capri, Italy
You've definitely heard of Capri, but it's one of the most popular islands in Europe for a reason. From the out-of-this-world food to the breathtaking views, picturesque pedestrian- only streets, and unbeatable luxury shopping, it's definitely worth adding to your bucket list. This island is famous for its Blue Grotto and rocky shoreline.
Herreninsel, Germany
The island is in the middle of Bavaria, one of Germany's land-locked states. Chiemsee is an expansive lake home to a few islands, the largest of which is Herreninsel. Plan a day trip here to explore an eighth-century convent(修道院), an unfinished palace, and more. You could also check out Fraueninsel, which is slightly smaller, but the striking Gothic bell tower is worth the trek(跋涉)for architecture lovers.
