“If you are looking for a bargain beach holiday this year, there’s a European destination that you might have never considered before - and it’s more accessible than you’d think,” the UK tabloid reported at the weekend.
It listed sites such as Hel Peninsula, a 35-kilometre-long sand bar in northern Poland separating the Bay of Puck from the open Baltic Sea.
The Sun quoted some UK beachgoers as saying that the place is a “paradise on earth.”
“Miles of beautiful uncrowded sandy beaches bordered by fine forests made for a wonderful day trip from Gdańsk,” one TripAdvisor user was quoted as saying.
'Heavenly Hel'
Another said: "Heavenly Hel – some of Europe's longest and most beautiful beaches."
The Sun also noted the peninsula’s extra attractions such as huge sand dunes and dense forests surrounding it for tourists who fancy a hike.
“There are also charming fishing villages scattered along the peninsula with restaurants and cafes serving fresh seafood,” it reported.
Perhaps the best part about visiting Hel, according to The Sun, is ”how cheap it is to get there with one way flights starting from £15.”
The tabloid reminded UK holidaymakers that “from London, both WizzAir and Ryanair operate two flights daily to Poland’s Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport, which is just over an hour’s drive from Hel Peninsula.”
'Harry Potter bar' in Poland's Gdańsk
In another recent report, The Sun told its readers about Poland’s hidden tourist potential, including "a Hogwarts-themed night out in a bar dedicated to all things Potter" in the Baltic city of Gdańsk.
It urged Harry Potter fans to start planning a trip to the Felix Felicis place, which it said "is completely decked out in Potter merchandise, making any fans feel right at home while on their travels.”
“The drinks are all named after concoctions found in the Potter books and films, like Wolfsbane Potion, the Drink of Despair and of course Felix Felicis, the drink after which the bar is named - also referred to as Liquid Luck," The Sun reported.
It noted that the bar sells chocolate wands for children, who are as welcome as older fans during the day, while a mug of Butterbeer, "the magical brew, which also comes alcohol-free," costs around £3.80.
