Mandelieu la Napoule

BEACHES

The wonderful, warm Mediterranean climate makes it a good place for sunbathing on white sands. Swim in the sparkling, blue sea which is ideal for snorkelling.

HOTELS

There is 5* hotel accommodation or self-catering apartments by the River Siagne which is only a short walk to the sea. You may prefer to camp. You can hire a tent at the campsite, which is close to the bustling town centre.

THINGS TO DO

Take a brisk walk along the rocks to see the castle of La Napoule, which was built in 1390 and is perched on the rocks. Walk at high tide and get splashed by the waves, but it is worth seeing the spectacular views.

Anna Maria writes...

Come and enjoy soft, sandy beaches, clear blue skies and a refreshing cocktail by your side. If you want all of this and much more from your holiday, then come to Romania - the ultimate summer holiday destination. You will get cheap flights from ‘Tarom’ airlines, which will get you there in no time!

Romania is a country, which has kept most of its traditional charm, as well as being an authentic ‘beach party hot spot’. Constanta, is one of Romania’s sea breezed coastal towns. It has five star hotels, just a stones throw away from the beach and all offer fabulous views of the Black Sea from your bedroom window.

You can visit the city centre, which is only ten minutes away, by the classic tourist double-decker buses. There, you can dine in one of the excellent rated restaurants or the Italian styled cafes, overlooking the beautiful sea on the harbour’s Monte Carlo white cliffs. Why not spoil yourself, by reserving a day to go to the city wall?

If you are a quiet type of person, who likes no noise and disturbances, then rent a first class quality apartment by Lake Ovidiu (opposite the Black Sea), which is magnificent for peaceful fishing and calm sailing.

What are you waiting for? Your cocktail’s calling you!

Now write a persuasive article for a magazine about your own holiday destination.
