Holidays in the Algarve

Posted March 8, 2009 By admin and has no comments yet.


With a history that includes Phoenician, Roman and Moorish settlement, the Algarve is a unique and diverse region of Portugal with a genuine identity and charm. Its appeal is helped by its weather and of course its geography, with over a hundred beaches and some beautiful inland regions. The Algarve region also boasts an amazing lagoon called the Ria Formossa, an interesting nature reserve that also includes some great beaches and fun things to do for the many visitors that go there.

Many of Europe’s best beaches can be found on the Algarve. The 200-kilometre coastline includes a range of great beaches, including some idyllic coves for peaceful days to great golden sweeps of sand that will delight surfers, swimmers and those who just want to play all day. Whether you want an action packed holiday in a popular resort or a place to rest up in the sun with space and time to explore the coastline, the choices in the Algarve are almost endless.

For windsurfing and sailing, head to Meia Praia in the Lagos area of the Algarve, a popular beach with locals and visitors alike. Like all of the Algarve, the summers in Lagos are not too hot while the winters are especially mild, and this well situated and easy to access beach has plenty of stylish bars and restaurants nearby to refresh yourself after a day on the beach.

Lovers of swimming should head for the nearby Dona Ana, which has some spectacular rock formations that rise impressively from the clear blue waters. Summer music concerts are frequently held during the summer months at Praia da Batata. What is striking about the Algarve coast is that it’s not just all about sun and sand, but that the cliffs, the small bays, the lagoons are spectacularly beautiful as well. This essence of geology, countryside and tradition is what gives Algarve holidays their unique appeal and charm. The Algarve has thousands of great villas to hire so those seeking the best of everything are well catered for.

Another great way to discover the Algarve is by cycling. The advantages of cycling are that there is simply no better way, other than perhaps by going on one of many coastal and inland walks to explore and experience the Algarve countryside. Whether you want to hire a cycle and go off in your own group or join one of many organised cycle tours, the bike-friendly climate and beautiful scenery should make this a perfect starter to action packed holidays in the Algarve.

For places to stay there is plenty to choose from, with Algarve villas ranging from the traditional styles to the contemporary and always close to the beach for your water sports based holiday. From the tall tower blocks of the cities to the white washed old coastal fishing towns and the hidden, sun-soaked mountain villages, staying in the Algarve is a real and comfortable experience. The cuisine, as one would expect from any region that enjoys rich fertile valleys of olives, almonds and oranges, as well as a warm climate, is made from fresh and deliciously prepared regional produce. Dishes using produce from the sea are a speciality, with dishes like caldeirada – a fish stew – a special treat, especially after a day on, or in, the water.

Travelling to the Algarve is easy. Flights to the Algarve are regular from the UK, and there are a great range of stylish and top class places to stay. Whether you want to sail, snorkel, kayak, play golf, cycle or surf, the Algarve is geared up for fun playing and classy living.

Holidays in Cyprus

Posted March 7, 2009 By admin and has no comments yet.


What do you look for in a holiday? Are you a sun-worshipper, preferring to spend your days on the beach with a book, soaking up the rays and showing your friends back home a tan to envy? Or are you the more adventurous type who just can’t sit still, and needs to be out doing energetic things every day? Or perhaps you have a young family and find your days filled with soggy socks, sandy nappies and sunburnt noses?

Whatever type of holiday you enjoy, the chances are you’ll find it in Cyprus. The third largest Mediterranean island attracts millions of tourists every year from all over the world. It’s a particular favourite for the British due to its historic ties with the United Kingdom.

Family holidays in Cyprus invariably involve a lot of splashing. The water parks in Ayia Napa are a firm favourite with old and young alike, while those who prefer to stay dry and different can take a trip on a camel at the Camel Park in Larnaca. The views in Cyprus are guaranteed to bring a look of awe to anyone’s face, and your children will be mesmerised by the views the likes of which are rarely, if ever, seen in Britain.

For those of you out for sun holidays, Cyprus has numerous beaches, varying in activity. The more peaceful of these are located to the west of the island, and the more lively resorts are towards the east, surrounded by bars and restaurants. Many activities take place in the water, with scuba-diving, banana boats and ‘doughnuts’ being among the most popular. The shipwreck Zenobia rests off the coast of Cyprus, and is world-famous as one of the easiest to reach.

The nightlife in Cyprus is famous. Ayia Napa is well known among the younger generation as a good clubbing destination, while the more sedate Limassol is popular with those who prefer a slightly more refined atmosphere. But for a real Cypriot experience, head inland to the local towns and fishing villages, where those on their holidays are welcomed with open arms and hearts by the residents.
