The break period is usually around 11 weeks, which \u2013 in theory \u2013 gives you enough time to explore the world. Of course, parents may not have the same latitude to take time off, but our suggestions can also apply for shorter getaways.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sea, sand and sun are highly desirable for the ideal summer break. Countries such as Albania, Macedonia, Montenegro, Tunisia and T\u00fcrkiye grant visa-free access to citizens of most of the countries and have excellent beaches.
