Hyères and the Giens peninsula, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region of southern France, make a perfect summer holiday destination. Not only is this one of the best places to swim in the warm waters of the Mediterranean Sea, but it's also a coastal area where nature is particularly well preserved.
The town of Hyères itself is nice to visit (don’t miss its thermal baths). You’re also right next to Toulon city, for another good day trip (make sure to include the Navy Museum). Proximity to Toulon airport and train station also mean you can make this a car-free holiday if you like.
Nearby Hyères you will also find the Golden Islands of Porquerolles, Port-Cros and the Ile du Levant, with beautiful landscapes and beaches.
Between the sandy beaches, the pebbled creeks and the islands, you’re sure to find holiday happiness here.
