On the JJ Barnes blog, I look at research from Catamaran Charter Croatia about the most beautifully instagrammable marinas we could visit for some Winter sun… and let my dreams of travelling Europe wander.

Going on holiday somewhere sunny and beautiful in the Winter feels like the most fabulously aspirational idea. Traveling is always a wonderful privilege, but escaping the cold grey of the British wintertime is especially fabulous. So, if we could go anywhere, why not go somwhere that’s beautiful to splash over our social media?

New research by European based yacht charter group Catamaran Charter Croatia has revealed the most Instagrammable European marinas for Winter sun, with the Porto Montenegro marina taking the top spot in the rankings.
