Greek Islands Zakynthos and Kos Highlighted in 2026 Summer Travel Trends

H&M introduced a new summer‑2026 dress called the “Zakynthos” dress, echoing the bright blues and whites of the Greek island. The lightweight viscose piece features a free back, wide straps and a floral pattern meant to evoke the island’s white houses, deep‑blue sea and Mediterranean foliage, and is promoted as ideal for warm Mediterranean days.

Travel writer Katharina Regenthal reported on the “Bubble Beach” at Paradise Beach on the island of Kos. The spot, marked by a blue buoy, offers a commercial snorkeling area where thousands of tiny air bubbles rise from the seabed, creating a sparkling effect. Families can rent lounges and even inflatable water‑bouncy castles, making it a popular, family‑friendly attraction despite its tourist‑centric setting.
