Side: A Family Holiday Haven

15 June, 2016

Being a wonderful family friendly destination, Side, a Turkish resort only an hour’s drive from Antalya, gets my vote. Blessed with gorgeous sheltered beaches, fabulous accommodation, plenty of activities your kids will love, as well as laid back restaurants and cafes, this place will have you and the family won over in no time. There’s a scattering of Hellenistic and Roman ruins around the town and Side’s ancient theatre still stands in all its glory, amongst the modern cafes and souvenir shops. When visiting any new place with kids, it is a good plan to have some ideas of where

Recommended by Mum: Cala d’Or

14 June, 2016

From one mum to many more, I can highly recommend Cala d’Or as a holiday destination for families with small children. Although I only have one daughter at the moment, I have another baby on the way and am making my own list of potential destinations for family holidays that give my partner and me a break too. Cala d’Or is high up there! What To Do Western Encounter When the heat of the day hits and the little ones need a break, head out on a journey through the fabulous Tramuntana Mountains on the Soller Train. Meandering its way

Lido di Jesolo for Fabulous Family Holidays

13 June, 2016

Referred to as the “Venetian Riviera” by holidaymakers and tour operators, Lido di Jesolo is one of the few destinations in Italy that offers sun, sea and sand as a package. Despite its purpose built nature, the resort is bursting with activity and is full of cafes and restaurants, some laid back and others more upmarket. Being so close to Venice makes this place even more attractive. Recommended read: Venetian Highlights in 24 Hours Teenagers in particular will love a week’s holiday here. There is so much to do, either for the kids on their own or with you as

Maroc

Country Profile: Morocco

6 June, 2016

Introduction Exotic, diverse and naturally beautiful, Morocco, in North Africa, is a feast for the senses. Rugged windswept coastlines, high altitude mountain ranges and inland deserts inhabited by the nomadic tribes lie in complete contrast to the bustling souks and ancient medinas that are vibrant, full of colour and bursting with fragrant scents. What To Do Morocco’s diversity is tailor made for travellers. The stunning landscape is made up of the High Atlas Mountains, as well as the Rif ranges that give way to the rugged lowlands, waterfalls, caves, and of course the tranquil and serene Saharan oases.

Griechenland

Country Profile: Greece

3 June, 2016

Greece is a destination which has long been popular with tourists. Bursting with ancient archaeological sites and blessed with glittering seas and clear skies, Greece has plenty of appeal for travellers of all kinds. Mainland Greece sometimes gets overlooked in favour of the many wonderful islands dotted off the coast, but for those who stay longer than a day or two, a pleasant surprise waits. What To Do in Greece From idyllic beaches to towering mountain ranges and from bustling seaside towns to historic sites that date back over 4000 years, this country has incredible diversity.

Country Profile: Italy

2 June, 2016

Italy is a country like no other. Ruled by the dolce vita (the good life), the Italians are incredibly proud of every part of their history and culture. There are few places where the combination of art, history, gastronomy, weather and landscape radiate quite so powerfully. Cities, towns and country villages all have strong connections to their past and yet embrace the future with a sense of optimism. From sunny islands to towering volcanoes, effortlessly rolling hills carpeted with vines to gnarled old olive trees producing the nectar we all know and love – Italy is place that captivates every

Cypern

Country Profile: Cyprus

1 June, 2016

The stunning Mediterranean island of Cyprus, blessed with an incredible natural beauty, is one of my favourite holiday destinations. Its fabulous golden beaches, fascinating history and wonderfully diverse culture is made even more intriguing by the island’s strong connection to the mythical goddess Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, whose birthplace, near Paphos, can be visited. Cyprus is the ideal destination for lovers of ancient history, as every invader of this sought after island left a legacy – many of which still remain for today’s visitor to explore. What to Do While the majority of people come to Cyprus

Vilamoura

Great Activities for all the Family in Vilamoura

1 June, 2016

Vilamoura is justly famous as a holiday destination for the whole family. Take the fabulous beaches, wonderful climate and excellent restaurants out of the equation and you still have plenty for the family to do. Most families book a package deal to Vilamoura, which is a wise choice as there are so many on offer and they leave you with extra cash to spend on other activities during your stay. Although my daughter is only tiny, I travel with friends who have older children and from experience I know that these attractions in Vilamoura have been a hit with the

Santa Susanna

Fun For All The Family in Santa Susanna

29 May, 2016

Santa Susanna is high on my list of places to take your kids, especially kids that are old enough to enjoy lots of different activities. I also appreciate, however, that a family holiday is not all about the kids and that there has to be plenty on the agenda that all members of your gang will enjoy. This coastal resort in Catalonia certainly has something for everyone. Put these activities on your list and you will have the ingredients for a fun filled family holiday that you will all remember for a long time. Activ Natura Park: A Great Place

Playa de las Américas

Fun Filled Attractions for all the Family in Playa de las Americas

28 May, 2016

Playa de las Americas is one of my favourite family friendly destinations, mainly because there is so much to do, especially for those kids entering their teenage years. This can be a tough age for kids, who are on the cusp of wanting independence but who still need supervision, so the activities I have chosen all encourage them to spread their wings yet still remain under your watchful eyes. Fun for Water Lovers Submarine Safaris This is a truly magnificent place offering the opportunity to explore the depths of the ocean on one of the world’s only 15 commercial submarines.

Kroatien

Country Profile: Croatia

26 May, 2016

Croatia is a land steeped in history and one that offers the discerning traveller an opportunity to explore the wonderful architecture of charming towns and villages, indulge in a unique and delicious cuisine, relax on one of the sunniest coastlines in Europe, and take trips to one of many hundreds of islands that lie just out into the Adriatic – and all while enjoying a beautifully moderate climate. What To Do The diversity of Croatia is very much part of its attraction and one day you could be wandering the quaint cobbled streets of out of the way towns, while

Taking the kids to Lloret de Mar this year? You will be pleased to discover that there is plenty on for them to enjoy, apart from the sun, sea and sand of course. Not only will the kids have a ball at some of the events we highlight below, but you parents will love them too! As a mum myself, I appreciate that if the kids are happy, I am happy.
