Taking the road less travelled doesn't have to mean venturing into the middle of nowhere and pitching up a tent – far from it.
Sometimes all you have to do is look at some more unique holiday destinations, so here are a few ideas to get you started...
Zakynthos, Greece
Zakynthos is one of the most beautiful Greek islands you could come across. Its vast, long sandy beaches and ice-blue waters contrast beautifully with traditional Greek villages nestled in the pine-covered mountains.
