Tips for travellers

algarve beachIf you are a parent, quite often all you want from a holiday is for your kids to enjoy it. But finding somewhere where they will like is the million dollar question and often almost impossible. But before you give up and head to that holiday park down the road out of sheer desperation, consider Portugal, and in particular the Algarve region. Just like cheap Lanzarote holidays and other popular worldwide destinations, the Algarve has a lot to offer the younger traveller. And parents alike.

Sorrento in ItalyJuly is the ideal month for a relaxing vacation in Sorrento, Italy.

A time when crowds of tourists are nowhere to be seen, therefore leaving you the dedication you need to discover this wonderful corner of the Mediterranean. Enjoy sipping on cocktails while sunbathing with your feet soaked in water, taking in all the fresh, atmosphere of Sorrento with its surrounding citrus groves, and lush vegetation that really come out this time of year. 

every memorable holiday involves cocktailsYou don’t have to recreate the set of Bachelor Party to have a great weekend bash. To be honest, overwhelming is overrated. Why do so many things you don’t have time to enjoy any of them – or get so drunk you can’t remember? That’s like eating too much and then throwing up. A waste of time, money and pleasure potential.

So here’s my prescription for the perfect weekend. Take two activities, slowly, and enjoy the hell out of them. It’s that simple.

There are plenty of amazing winter sun destinations to choose from around the globe. But in these straitened economic times many tourists are looking for value breaks aboard. A trend which is greatly benefiting Canary Islands such as Lanzarote, which are just a four hour flight from key markets such as the UK and Germany.

Lanzarote is the fourth largest of the Canary Islands and is a real favourite with British tourists who account for about 60% of all visitors here. Many return year after year as they fall in love with the island’s unique volcanic landscape, amazing climate and high standards of accommodation.
