What better way to put a smile on your dad’s face than booking a well-earned break? Whether he’s into biking or golfing, or you bond over surfing and sunbathing, we’ve got somewhere for every type of dad. Great getaways are on the horizon...

For the biking dads...

Does your dad like spending time in the saddle? Then he’ll love Lanzarote! With dramatic volcanoes, lush valleys and stunning beaches, it’s unbeatable when it comes to superb cycling spots. Plus, when you're ready to park the bike, there’ll be Canarian cuisine and volcanic vineyards to get stuck into too.

For the golfing dads...

If a golf getaway sounds right up your dad’s street, the Algarve could be just the ticket. It’s one of Europe’s top golf spots, boasting fab fairways for all abilities, plus some spectacular backdrops. Along with some top-rated courses, lively Albufeira’s got plenty going on, like cliff-backed beaches and neon-lit bars. Over in swanky Vilamoura, it’s all about marina-side dining and sunset sipping as the evening draws in.

For the bar-loving dads...

Come rain or shine, there’s nothing like an ice-cold beer on holiday, and in Prague, your dad will have the pick of the bunch! There’s nowhere more scenic than Letná Beer Garden with its sweeping city views and stellar selection of pilsners. Or how about Prague Beer Museum? You’ll have both hops and history to enjoy. Don’t forget to add some sightseeing to the mix too – Prague Castle, the Astronomical Clock and the Old Town Square should be top of the list.

For the history buffs...

A history-hunting tour of Turkey is the bucket-list jaunt of dreams for many dads. Pamukkale? Ephesus? Cappadocia? You could tick them all off on your holiday. Once you’ve visited all the main marvels, you’ll want to set some time aside to sample the local cuisine, browse the bazaars and get acquainted with the friendly locals.

For the gastronomy-loving dads...

With meaty pastas, perfectly cooked pizzas and silky gelato gracing the menus of this food-loving country, Italy’s guaranteed to treat dad’s taste buds. Rome’s all about exploring the Pantheon by day and dining in pretty piazzas by night, while Sardinia is a beach haven with plenty of agriturismos (traditional farms) and family-run restaurants, serving hearty classics like roast suckling pig and seafood pasta.

For the beach bums...

Does dad’s ideal itinerary look something like beach, eat, repeat? Then cool Crete is exactly where he’ll need to be. Between Chania and Heraklion, Crete’s coastline is sprinkled with sandy spots and plenty of tasty tavernas along the way. If it’s peace and quiet he’s after, Kommos Beach has you covered, whereas Ammoudara Beach is primed for dabbling in water sports.

For the skiers...

Give dad a gift he won’t forget and slope off for a snow-filled ski getaway together. Fill your days with picturesque pistes and après-ski spots, before making the most of quality family time over gooey pots of fondue.
