Where to Go on Summer vacation, Based on Your Astrological Sign
-
Aries: Nosara, Costa Rica
You go after things with your whole heart, Aries. That's why this beach town on the Pacific Ocean is perfect for you. You can satisfy your insatiable ambition and determination by learning to surf on the most beautiful waves. Then chill out with some Savasana at one of the yoga shalas around town. Pura vida is Costa Rica's national slogan, loosely translating to "pure life" and goodness knows you could use some purity after the spring you've had.

Gemini: Marrakech, Morocco
Get ready for some hot days, but there's plenty in this cultural mecca to keep your brilliant mind busy. Check out the snake charmers at the market, bask in the gardens, submerse yourself in the hammams (local bathhouses), mull over the beauty of the mosques or get lost in the aromas and flavors of local cuisine. There's so much to do here, it's a good thing you have the most energy of all the signs since you're probably the only one who can come close to seeing everything.

Cancer: Paris, France
Cancer girls, like the French, may seem standoffish at first, but underneath that hard exterior lies a heart of gold. Your creative fires will be fueled in the City of Light and your yearning for cozy and charming spaces will be more than satisfied. Of course, you can't miss the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre, but take some time off from sightseeing to relax and recharge your spirit in the cafés and sample the wines, cheeses and breads.

You're the queen and everyone knows it so treat yourself to some art and culture. But take a long walk on the beach and save a bottle of your best rosé to relax at sunset.

Libra: Santorini, Greece
Oh Libras, the white and blue landscape of the Greek island will have your aesthetic-loving heart going pitter-patter. Make sure you walk down to Amoudi Bay for some seafood that the fishermen have just caught and wash it down with some donkey beer. Since Libras are never afraid to try new things, indulge in a luxury catamaran tour to the caldera (volcano), soak up the sunset and swim in the hot springs.
