When it comes to going on holiday, we are often there to get away from worries and stresses.
However, there are some rules that we are not aware of when it comes to holidaying abroad.
Now, experts have revealed that Brits should be aware of several laws which could cost them thousands.
Especially, when visiting the beach this year after an influencer was fined £1,500 in Sardinia.
The social media influencer from Dubai was fined over £1,500 for trespassing on a forbidden Italian beach on the tiny island of Budelli.
The beach itself is closed to tourists to protect its famous pink-tinged sand which derives from its delicate ecosystem.
However, the incident was noticed by the Italian coastguard after the influencer shared photos and videos of them exploring the banned beach on social media after arriving illegally by boat.
