Kefalonia

Resort recommendations:

Traditional as they come, tranquil Trapezaki will charm those looking to escape the crowds and reality. Another one for peace-seekers, Svoronata is a remote oasis oozing rural atmosphere. Beach holiday is the only holiday for you? Skala will be your match.

Don’t miss:

Melissani Cave – take a boat tour and explore this gorgeous rock formation – this place proves that Mother Nature has favourites.

Vallianou Square – restaurants, shops and bars surround the main square of Kefalonia.

Myrtos Beach – frequently making the list of top beaches in Greece, this pearl-white, sandy stretch invites you to witness its otherworldly beauty.

Must try:

Rich, beefy and made from a tomato-based sauce, beef stifado is a pot of pure joy. But you can’t beat classic gyros! The best part? You won’t have to look far to find a stall selling this Greek street food staple.

Stay here:

Menorca

Resort recommendations:

Travelling with the fam? Charming and fun-filled in equal measures, Cala Galdana will tick all the boxes. Water park craziness, anyone? Cala’n Bosch will do it… Trying to escape all of the above? Binibeca beckons with its go-slow, fishing village vibes.

Don’t miss:

Cala Macarella - one of Menorca’s, scratch that, Europe’s best beaches, this small sandy swathe offers ivory grains and dazzling azure waters.

Ciutadella Old Town – the former capital of Menorca with its own idyllic harbour, sights, architecture, restaurants, bars and markets. The list goes on and on, by the way…

Cova d’en Xorio – don’t be mistaken by the name, this cave has been transformed into a vibrant bar. Talk about unique!

Must try:

Caldereta de langosta is a famous lobster stew cooked in tomato, garlic, red pepper and onion. Wash it down with a pomada drink or maó beer, just make sure to leave some room for dessert! Especially if you’re visiting around Easter time when pastries such as crespells, ormatjades and rubiols are super popular!

Stay here:

Lanzarote

Resort recommendations:

You know you’re in good hands when the resort name literally translates to ‘white beach’ and Playa Blanca definitely lives up to its name. Meanwhile Puerto Del Carmen delivers the holidays we know and love. We’re talking beach days, restaurant-lined promenades and neon-lit nightlife – and who doesn’t love those? And when you fancy a holiday with a side of fun-tastic water sports, head to Puerto Calero.

Don’t miss:

Timanfaya National Park – Mars-like landscape, food cooked by geothermal heat and volcanic formations? We’ll join you if you don’t mind.

Jameos Del Agua – created by a Lanzarote local Cesar Manrique, this underground spot is where nature meets art.

La Graciosa Island – hop over to this untouched paradise with a short ferry ride and spend a day exploring this dinky, car and road-free isle.

Must try:

Pescado a la planch or (if we’re not trying to impress anyone) the fish of the day. You know what they say, when in Lanzarote… or something like that. Fancy a snack on the go instead? Papas arrugás, AKA the wrinkly potatoes, are the only answer.

Stay here:

Paphos, Cyprus

Resort recommendations:

With a lengthy beach, a collection of sleepy seaside tavernas and the ancient ruins of Paphos on your doorstep, Coral Bay takes elegant coastline to a whole new level. Two for the price of one? Polis and Latchi offer a slice of everything – scenic delights, welcoming atmosphere and a dash of ancient history, of course. Ready for a get-away-from-it-all holiday? Aphrodite Hills resort awaits.

Don’t miss:

Tombs of the Kings – this site isn’t as spooky as it sounds, thanks to the underground burial places being mostly open-plan. It’s a must-visit for all history buffs.

Fig Tree Bay – this Blue Flag stretch has repeatedly landed a place on Tripadvisor’s top beaches in Europe list. Visit to see why for yourself…

The Peyia Area – home to lush nature and a range of rare flora and fauna. Make sure to visit Pikni forest or the National Park of Akamas while you’re there!

Must try:

Any fresh fish dish is bound to represent the very best of Cypriot cuisine. Make your way to Paphos Old Town or the harbour, and you’ll have a range of traditional tavernas to choose from. For on-the-go munching, choose a flaky pastry with halloumi – did you know this popular-all-over cheese comes from Cyprus?

Stay here:

The Algarve

Resort recommendations:

Vilamoura is a glitzy marina town where crowds gather to party, and trust us, you'll want to be at the heart of it all. Popular-as-ever Albufeira has got something for everyone among its golden beaches, charming Old Town and buzzy Strip. And when you’ve seen enough disco balls, head to off-the-beaten-track Carvoeiro.

Don’t miss:

Praia da Falesia – it’s been named as the world’s (we repeat, world’s) best beach by Tripadvisor for 2024… do you need more convincing?

Slide & Splash Waterpark – slides and spa, speed lanes and tipping water buckets – this place ticks all the boxes.

Must try:

You can’t beat the classic peri-peri chicken, although just-off-the-grill sardines come close. And everybody knows no meal in the Algarve is truly finished without a pastel de nata…
