In an age of hyperconnectivity and overtourism, the desire to “get away from it all” when we travel has never been greater. We’d love to hear about those corners of Europe where you can still escape from the noise and the crowds, whether it’s a remote national park, a wild coastline, a rocky islet, off-grid retreat or a sleepy town which the 21st century seems to have overlooked. And if you stayed in a great campsite, hostel or cottage, tell us about that too.

The best tip of the week, chosen by Tom Hall of Lonely Planet wins a £200 voucher to stay at a Coolstays property – the company has more than 3,tres000 worldwide. The best tips will appear in the Guardian Travel section and website.
