The islands of Mallorca and Menorca sit as close neighbours in the Mediterranean just a few miles apart and both making claims as attractive holiday destinations. Certainly Mallorca has plenty to offer and has been a favourite destination for English and German tourists for many years now. But when you hear that Spaniards tend to prefer the island of Menorca, you wonder if there are secrets about the smaller island that other tourists have not yet discovered.
Menorca lies just over 20 miles...
Malta a Unique Island in the Mediterranean
The island of Malta, situated between Sicily at the foot of Italy and Tunisia on the North African coast, is unique in terms of its history, culture and nationality.
Unlike Crete, which is part of Greece, Sardinia which is part of Italy, Corsica which is French and Mallorca which is Spanish, Malta is an independent Republic. Like many islands in the Mediterranean, Malta has gone through various states of foreign ownership during its past. Rulers of the island include the Romans, Arabs, the...
Intriguing Malta
The Island of Malta has had an interesting past and is still an interesting place to visit, with more and more people choosing it over the traditional Mediterranean resorts.
Eclectic is a word you will find in most descriptions of this small Mediterranean island, with it usually referring to the mix of cultures that gives this island its unusual identity. Malta is situated around 200 miles from Tunisia and slightly further away from Libya but its closest European neighbour is Sicily, which...
New Golf Holiday Destinations
The idea of golfing holidays is not a new one and in fact many destinations have built a healthy tourist trade providing for the needs of the golfer on vacation. Typically it was the resorts of southern Spain and Portugal that held all the cards when it came to attracting golfers but that may be changing with alternative destinations working hard to catch up.
Although still technically part of Spain, the island of Majorca has been slow to provide facilities for the golfer. Perhaps it was the...
Relax on a Turkish Blue Cruise
When most people think of cruise ships they imagine huge ocean going liners equipped with all kinds of luxuries where guests are treated to five-star service as they are journeyed around the oceans, stopping over at busy resorts to disembark for sightseeing trips and excursions.
Cruising is still a very popular activity, particularly for older generations, who in some cases may have saved for many years before making their trip of a lifetime. Cruising along the southern coast of Turkey with...
Lost Treasures of Tourist Islands
It does seem odd that the reasons many islands become the tourists destinations they are, suddenly become polarised once they reach a certain popularity. Once the prime areas of development have become established, usually around a coastal area with a fine beach and space for new construction to take place, all the other parts of the island that contributed to its original allure start to drift into the background and slowly become forgotten.
You can look at many of the primary island resorts...
Top Ten Greek Islands
The Greek islands form one of the most beautiful tourist destinations in Europe. Over 1400 separate islands are spread across the Ionian, Aegean and Mediterranean Seas and make up a fifth of the land mass of Greece. The influx of tourism has had different effects on different islands with some happy to rush along with the demands that modern tourism enforce, while others have been more cautious and are now reaping the rewards of not succumbing to over-development. These are beautiful islands...
Zakynthos The Pick of the Ionian Islands
There are over 2000 Greek islands in total that lie in the Ionian Sea on the west of the mainland, though the south past Crete and into the Aegean Sea to the east. Despite all these islands around a third of the countrys population lies I the city of Athens and around 10 per cent live on the various islands.
Many of the islands are tiny and uninhabited but the larger ones like Corfu, Kefallonia, Crete, Rhodes and Evvoia are famous in their own right.
Crete is the largest and most southerly...
The Best Features of Gran Canaria
A holiday to Gran Canaria can easily be justified on the weather alone. Its year-round mild climate make a trip there worthwhile at any time and during the cold winters of Europe its even more attractive. Gran Canaria may be part of Spain but its over 200 miles further away from the Spanish mainland than the Mediterranean is from the UK.
So great weather and over 50 kilometers of Europes best beaches all washed and warmed by the Gulf Stream should be enough for anyone, but the islands has...
Wonders of the Canadian Rockies
What a wonderful place to experience the great outdoors! The Canadian Rockies stretch for over 800 miles from the Waterton National Park in the south right up to Boya Lake Provincial Park in the North. Many of the regions at the Northern end of the Rockies are inaccessible with the main towns and areas of population lying along Highway 43 to the East and Highway 97 which crosses over to the West.
If you are interested in exploring some of these more northern regions of the Rockies then Grande...
Flying to Cyprus
The island of Cyprus has been a popular destination for visitors from the UK for many years and flights to the island are now using either Paphos or Larnanca airport as their destination. British Airways has had a significant presence at Larnanca for many years, with it serving as a maintenance base and also because British Airways was a major shareholder of Cyprus Airways when it was originally founded. When the range of aircraft was more limited the base at Larnaca acted as a hub for flight...
Sharm El Sheikh a Winter Sun Destination
When it comes to selecting a destination for a winter break there may be many things to consider but really only two things matter: sunshine and warm temperatures. Of course a nice beach, decent scenery, fantastic restaurants, perhaps a bit of history and culture will add value but with warm weather most destinations can write of their chances.
So given the weather patterns of Europe during the winter months, very few locations can claim to be attractive to winter sun seekers. The main...

Stay at Home Tourism Unlikely to Satisfy
Reading the reports about the dramatic shifts in holiday trends you might expect stay at home tourism to be about to take off in a big way.
In the UK the devaluation of the British pound against the Euro has seen many people opting to take holidays in the UK this year. Popular resorts in the south of England are experiencing healthy visitor numbers and the once popular British pastime of caravanning is seeing a resurgence. But for how long will these old style holidays satisfy the typical...

How Lanzarote Became the Island it is Today
Visitors to Lanzarote, the second biggest of the main Canary Islands, may be forgiven for thinking that the island has been a holiday destination for many years, but the reality is very different. Until as recently as 1980 the island was relatively unknown to international travellers. The geographic history of the island is of course dominated by volcanic activity, which caused the creation of the island in the first place.
The island, which has been part of Spain since the fifteenth century,...
A View of the Greek Island Rhodes
If you have always fancied a holiday on a Greek island but were worried about busy beaches and crowded bars and night clubs full of noisy young people having fun then perhaps Rhodes is the destination youve been looking for. Perhaps its the location of Rhodes that sets it apart from other Greek islands, being much nearer to the coast of Turkey than Greece. Rhodes certainly has a slightly different feel to the other main islands like Corfu, Kos, Mykonos, Naxos and Kefallonia and Zakynthos off...

New Terminal Improves Flights to Paphos
Paphos airport in Cyprus has received its fair share of critics over the years. In short the airport was not fit for purpose following an explosion of tourism traffic over the past few years. An upgrade to the facilities provided at Paphos airport were long overdue but the negotiation of a new contract to run all of the airports in Cyprus was holding things up.
Once that new 25 year contract was awarded to Hermes Airports in 2006, new developments of both Paphos, and later Larnaca airport,...

Your Name is Your Brand: Protect It!
What you should be asking yourself is why does Google not know who I am? Am I so insignificant that the biggest and most used search engine on Earth doesnt even know I exist? Why is there a Mongolian bongo player and a homemade remedy for herpes in the top ten results for my name while Im nowhere to be seen?
This isnt really identity theft as such, but when the media, employers, friends, and even potential dates are trying to dig up information using search engines such as Google they would...

Best Kitesurfing Locations
The sport of kitesurfing has undergone a remarkably fast emergeance as one of the worlds fastest growing watersports. Kitesurfing can trace its origins back to various attempts to harness the power of the wind as a form of propulsion across water but it is only really in the last ten years that the sport suddenly became popular on the back of a functional and affordable design of equipment. That equipment consists of a bi-directional board, effectively a lightweight surfboard, a harness and...
Choosing Between the Canary Islands
Choosing which of the Canary Islands to visit is a real dilemma for the winter break tourist. All of the main seven islands, that are located just off the north African coastline, share similar climates, but the major differences lie in the way each of these islands has grown up and the level of urban development progression in each. Some of the resorts on these islands have their roots back in the 1950s and so exhibit some dated and, for some, unattractive architecture while the resorts that...
