The secret is out for Milan, London, Paris or Barcelona, but Europe has a plethora of destinations that you may not have considered visiting before. Here are 11 lesser-known European towns you should visit... like, right now.
Preveza, Greece
Epirus capital city Preveza often falls under the radar, but that doesn’t mean it has nothing to offer. Set on the Gulf of Amvrakikos, this small yet modern town has a picturesque historic centre, where cobblestone streets and pedestrian walkways are lined with taverns and cafés. The port has a lovely promenade where locals enjoy walking, while the city boasts a cultural and artistic scene, with many activities organised frequently.
Insider Tip: The whole region of Epirus is beautiful and while Preveza is connected to Lefkada through a causeway, forget the beaches and go rafting on the Acheron river. The refreshing fresh water is the ultimate cure for a hot summer day.
Marseille, France
Paris gets all the buzz and while visitors to France also head south to soak up some Mediterranean sun, the destination is hardly Marseille.

Capital of Culture in 2013, Marseille has a strong French identity yet with a definite Mediterranean vibe. This port city boasts beautiful avenues, museums and little shops and restaurants to visit, while a climb up the impressive Notre Dame de La Garde is a must to enjoy a mesmerising sunset.
