With the sun coming out again, it’s difficult not to think about lying down at the beach and enjoying its delightful warmth on the skin. For some that might be a beach in Miami or the Caribbean, but for others, the idea of a proper beach feeling brings the Mediterranean Sea to mind. Indeed, could there be a better place to enjoy the warm weather than in the region that used to be called the center of the world? Center of the world is, by the way, what its name means in Latin. There are many reasons to love the Mediterranean lifestyle, and while the weather is one of them, it’s time to embrace the others now.

Nautical Fashion Is Always A Killer
If you are in love with nautical stripes or high-waisted flares, you’ll be pleased to know that in places like St-Tropez or Malta the nautical style is still highly fashionable. So don’t feel out of space again with your navy stripes: A stroll by the Med is all it takes to feel like a celebrity on the catwalk. Of course, that doesn’t mean that you can’t be wearing anything else. But sometimes fashion looks a little better when the context is right for it.
Healthy Diet That Is Full Of Yum
There’s been a lot of talks about the Mediterranean diet: it is still considered as one of the healthiest and most natural diets on the planet. Why so? Because the abundance of fruits and vegetables is guaranteed to provide all the minerals and vitamins that the body needs. A typical meal around the Med includes juicy tomatoes, fresh, colorful peppers, aubergines, fennel, and cucumber. It’s hard to imagine anything healthier! But that’s not all: People tend to use delicious olive oil, which provides plenty of healthy fat. Additionally, the Med diet tends to focus on grilled fish and poultry. In a medical language, this means that people over there have low cholesterol and a naturally lean body. Besides it also reduces the risk of Alzheimer’s disease, so embrace the fresh tomatoes as soon as you can!
Amazing Romantic Landscapes
There’s no denying it: The landscapes around the Med have remained mostly undamaged. It’s not uncommon to find quirky little port towns over the turquoise sea. That’s probably why more and more couples are looking at Cyprus wedding packages or similar packages around the Med: They can’t resist such a fantastic natural décor for their big day. After all, if you can’t live around the Med, at least, you can make the most of the scenery while you’re there. Sandy beaches, rocky cliffs, and an amazing sunset over the sea, what is there not to love?
Rich History To Dive In
If you are a history lover, you have probably figured out that Mediterranean sea means the sea medium Terra, as the Latins said, the sea in between the lands. The history of the Med is extremely rich. From the beginning of humanity, the Med has been a crossover of cultures and civilizations, offering a favorable environment for life and settlements. You’ll be amazed by the Greek and Roman monuments that are still standing, over thousand years after they were first erected. More importantly, the Med is the first melting pot that we know of: Every civilization tells a story of tolerance and union, by combining the diverse architecture of other cultures. Maybe it’s something we need to be reminded of in those days.
