As European summers get warmer – last year’s was the hottest on record, and the previous two summers have seen devastating forest fires in countries such as Portugal and Greece – holidaymakers are left pondering which side they’re on. Are you a heat-seeking missile, or are you too cool for school?

On the contrary, it ticks every box for the dream “coolcation” – and with more than enough warmth for the average sunseeker thrown in.
