Which place would you choose for a holiday?

I live in a city on the sea, so I wouldn't choose the sea for my holiday; rather I prefer to visit other countries and, in particular, art cities.

Which place would you choose for a holiday?

For a holiday, I suppose I will choose a luxury hotel at a beach because I like to swim, walk on white sand and take  photos.

Which place would you choose for a holiday?

I suppose it will depend on the weather condition or the season. In summer times, I want to go to a city with crystal clear water beach and spend time there with my family, lying down on the sand and enjoy the sunlight. In winter season, I would choose a mountain and start a hiking trip there.
