If you're thinking of sharing a vacation with your friends, know that relaxing in company has a direct impact on happiness.
The fact that friendships don't have the same complications as romantic relationships allows for moments of pure fun without too many expectations or pressures.
Enjoying a vacation with your best friends, besides promoting mental relaxation, is an excellent opportunity to deepen your bonds, learn about people's strengths and weaknesses in everyday life, and allow for the spontaneity that couples' vacations often lack.
September is also the best month to enjoy the most popular sights, whether museums or popular beaches, without the hustle and bustle. Furthermore, when traveling with friends, you're more likely to chat with people you meet along the way, without necessarily resorting to romantic pursuits.
What are "pink trips"?
Over the past six years, there's been a 230% increase in the number of companies worldwide organizing women-only travel, which indicates ever-increasing demand in this sector. In Italy, too, there are a growing number of agencies and platforms organizing women-only travel.
As more and more women choose to live single, female-only travel is beneficial not only for young women but also for older women, who can benefit from choosing a short adventure with friends rather than a couple's or family trip.
September's top foreign destinations for a beach holiday, nightlife, and boat parties.
With flights and accommodations often cheaper than during the high season, planning a September vacation allows you to make the most of your travel budget. Furthermore, the still-long days and warm evenings allow you to explore cities and enjoy beautiful beaches at the same time.
Greece and Spain, for example, besides being neighboring destinations, offer art, architecture, and entertainment even outside the peak summer season. In September, average temperatures hover around 24°C, allowing art lovers, partygoers, and foodies to visit Athens, Santorini, Barcelona, Valencia, or Ibiza without breaking the bank.
Ibiza in particular, being the nightlife capital where music, parties, and vibrant energy never stop, is known for its legendary nightclubs and boat parties. It's therefore the perfect place if you're looking for a holiday full of nightlife.
You may not know that the traditional architecture of Ibizan houses is characterized by the typical cubic shapes and whitewashed walls, designed to naturally keep the house cool as well as for defense. The same village construction system was adopted in the Santorini archipelago, with the aim of protecting the inhabitants from the numerous pirate invasions that arrived from the sea.

For those of you who have chosen to go dancing, Noikika suggests the mini dress in silver and black spotted rhinestones.
A fitted dress with an elegant shawl neckline and thin straps finished with rhinestones is ideal for a look that does not go unnoticed.
September's all-Italian destinations for a trip between sea, mountains, culture, and relaxation.
For those who want to stay in Italy and explore places that are very popular during the high season, you'll be spoiled for choice: Sicily, Sardinia, and Puglia for lovers of crystal-clear seas and good food, or Trentino Alto Adige, Valle d'Aosta, or Piedmont for those seeking absolute relaxation and mountain hikes.
If you're looking to add a touch of pure culture to your holiday with friends, destinations like Florence, Rome, or Venice offer open-air museums that, in addition to scorching temperatures, are inaccessible during the months of July and August due to high attendance and high costs.
For you who have chosen to focus on a tourist holiday, Noikika recommends this white and blue floral patterned georgette dress .
Light, flowing, and with a romantic allure, it flatters the figure, adding a refined and feminine touch. The floral design lends a fresh and dreamy allure, perfect for feeling unique every day.
Whatever destination you choose to visit, it's important to remember that not many friendships stand the test of time. The passing of the years and life's adversities leave indelible marks, while the changes in our lives cause the compatibility of the past to fade.
Celebrating lasting relationships by spending a holiday together, away from the pressures of everyday life and allowing our true selves to shine through, will not only keep those relationships alive but also promote the production of progesterone, the hormone that reduces anxiety, counteracts cortisol production, and lifts mood.
