Corfu Summer Holidays
Corfu Holidays
Homer described Corfu as a ‘beautiful and rich land’ and few would argue. The island’s many faces will never cease to surprise and delight. Colourful villages melt into musky olive groves and church bells echo through the verdant, pine-clad mountains of the inland while on the coast golden beaches lead to sparkling, warm seas.

Costa Blanca Summer Holidays
Costa Blanca Holidays
Meaning the 'white coast', Costa Blanca offers spectacular beaches and a warm welcome that, over the years, has made it a firm favourite with British holidaymakers. Boasting soaring skyscrapers, the main resort, Benidorm, is reminiscent of Manhattan and is just as vibrant with its heady mix of sizzling nightlife and bustling boulevards lined with bars, shops, cafes and restaurants. Inland, it's a different story altogether. The tranquil hillsides of the Costa Blanca play host to tiny whitewashed villages that look out over citrus groves and lush vineyards. This region really has got it all – glorious sunshine, long swathes of sugar-soft sands, and resorts to suit all tastes. What more could you ask for?

In the northeastern corner of Spain, the rugged coastline of coves and promontories earns the name Costa Brava, ‘Wild Coast’.

Costa de Almeria Summer Holidays

Costa de Almeria Holidays

The southern coast of mainland Spain is heaven sent for sunworship! Of course you needn’t spend all your time strolling the water’s edge of a long and uncrowded beach. You could indulge in watersports, play a round of golf, people-watch from a pavement café . . . or just turn to tan the other side …

Costa De La Luz Summer Holidays

Costa de la Luz Holidays

Spain's most southwesterly coast, stretching from the Straits of Gibraltar to the Portuguese border, lies in the colourful, charismatic province of Andalucia. Costa de la Luz or 'Coast of Light', is named after the bright sunshine that bathes its shores and leaves the hustle and bustle of the other Spanish Costa’s behind -letting the true, natural beauty of Spain shine through. With relatively little development and tourism consisting of a few resorts evolving around former fishing villages and glorious stretches of sand, you can easily discover the hidden charms of rustic Spain and the Andalusia mountain ranges with their breathtaking scenery and timeless hilltop villages.

Costa Del Sol Summer Holidays
Costa Del Sol Holidays
Southern Spain embodies all that is typically Spanish...sun-soaked beaches, passionate flamenco dancers, Moorish castles, orange groves, proud matadors and sleepy whitewashed towns. The Costa del Sol is the perfect gateway to this quintessential picture of Spain and offers so much more besides. From the cosmopolitan marinas of Marbella to the top class golf courses of Fuengirola, from the glittering sands of Torremolinos to the lively tapas bars of Nerja, the resorts that make up Spain's 'sunshine coast' offer all ages a fascinating spectrum of sights and activities, both by day and night.

Costa Dorada Summer Holidays

Costa Dorada Holidays

Crete Summer Holidays

Crete Holidays

Crete is an island of fascinating juxtapositions where the stark beauty of snow-capped mountains contrast with the lush allure of flower-filled plains; where unspoilt fishing villages sit side by side with sophisticated beach resorts and the humble charm of inland hamlets is the perfect antidote to the lavish architecture of old Venetian cities. Those in search of real relaxation will find plenty of places to indulge their pleasure – on long, untamed beaches and in tiny, sheltered coves; in beachside tavernas shaded by vine-covered trellises and outside simple kafenions where the village elders while away hot days sipping raki.
Crete Summer Holidays

Croatia Summer Holidays

Croatia Holidays

All along Croatia’s Adriatic coast, turquoise waters rush to meet dramatic cliffs, pitted with coves that shelter smooth, pebbled beaches. With historic towns that have lost none of their native charm, colourful harbours and lush verdant islands, it’s no wonder that people are discovering Croatia’s charming resorts again.

Croatia Summer Holidays

Cyprus Summer Holidays

Cyprus Holidays
The legendary birthplace of Aphrodite, Cyprus is a beautiful land of undulating contours bathed in almost luminous sunshine where glittering Mediterranean waters lap golden shores. Inland, rocky plains give way to hills and ‘kokkinokhoria’, or ‘red villages’, so called because of the red-tinged local soil. Punctuated by windmills, these sleepy towns offer a fascinating glimpse into everyday Cypriot life and stand in real contrast to the effervescent coastal resorts of Protaras and Ayia Napa - the latter of which has earned itself an international reputation for great nightlife and stands shoulder to shoulder with Ibiza as a premier Mediterranean clubbing destination.

Egpyt Nile Summer Holidays

Egypt (Nile) Holidays
Overflowing with ancient treasures from a bygone age, the captivating city of Luxor is truly the jewel of the Nile. Magnificent temples, shrines and monuments pepper the banks of the meandering river and provide a fantastic insight into a past where once great pharaohs and animal-headed gods reigned supreme. Sitting to the south of Cairo, it lies on completely flat land and has glorious views over the Egyptian flood plains. Not many resorts can boast such a treasure trove of ancient sights barely a stone’s throw away from their luxurious hotel pool, but Luxor is actually built on the 4,000 year old ruins of Thebes.

The volcanic activity that created the Canary Islands has left behind a magnificent legacy.

Winding roads snake up mountainsides to pretty whitewashed villages surrounded by spiky cacti. In contrast, bright and breezy coastal resorts bustle with life and excitement and play host to a superb selection of shops, restaurants and bars as well as long stretches of golden, sandy beaches where you can bask beneath the sub-tropical sun.

Malta – the very name conjures up thoughts of the George Cross and enough historical sights to keep you busy for a month. But there's so much more to this little beauty than a fascinating past.
