Calabria was made for meandering journeys. The toe of Italy’s boot is lapped by two seas – Tyrrhenian and Ionian – and a narrow-gauge railway snakes its way along them both. This is a region of sun-bleached sand lapped by Maldives-worthy water. And it’s embroidered with pastel-coloured fishing villages. It offers all the beauty of Liguria’s Cinque Terre or the Amalfi Coast, but without crowds and with decent places to say from just €60 (£50).

Filled with colour, culture and toe-tapping spirit, there is nowhere quite like New Orleans. This is a city of spicy Creole and hearty Cajun cooking, cool jazz culture and soulful rhythm and blues. Part European, part Caribbean, part African and older than the US itself, this Louisiana city is a seductive mix, from the vibrant French Quarter to the surrounding, wildlife-filled swamps. It's easy to reach, too, with direct flights to New Orleans from London Heathrow with British Airways.
