Cyprus has become particularly popular with tourists in recent years. The following is a list of the top eight holiday locations on this Mediterranean island. 1. Ayia Napa: One of the party capitals of Europe. With its busy bars, restaurants and nightclubs, it’s no surprise that Ayia Napa is a real rival to Ibiza. The dance music scene attracts visitors from all over Europe. 2. Nissi Beach: Considerably quieter than neighbouring Ayia Napa, this resort enjoys popularity thanks to its long stretches of white beaches.

The island of Fuerteventura is part of the Canary islands ( so called as the first settlers discovered many large dogs - canes - inhabiting the island originally, nothing to do with the Canary bird!) The Canary islands are actually an African archipelago but fall under Spanish rule. Herein lies possibly the major attraction of the Canaries, African weather in a politically stable island forming part of the European Union. Fuerteventura is actually the most Eastern of the isles and is closer to Morocco than mainland Spain (only 60 miles from the coast of Morocco). Because of this location the island enjoys over 300 days of beautiful sunshine per year. Even in winter it is rare for average temperature to drop below 18 degrees and during summer months will average over 26 degrees. Lying on the same latitude as Florida and Mexico, Fuerteventura enjoys a similar climate despite being only a 4 hour flight from any UK national or regional airport. perhaps the perfect getaway for Northern Europeans during the winter months, the only other locations offering winter sun with a similar flying time being Egypt and Cyprus.
Although the Mediterranean coast of France has been attracting tourists for centuries, many overlook the beauty of the equally spectacular west coast. We take a look at some of the highlights of France’s Atlantic coastline. Four regions of France have Atlantic coastlines - Bretagne (Brittany), Pays De La Loire, Poitou-Charentes and Aquitaine. Brittany is likely to be the best known for many British holiday-makers who have chosen to spend time on the west coast of France. Indeed, overseas visitors have been snapping up property here, meaning that some feel that the north-west coast has lost some of its “natural feel”, although there have been associated benefits.
For many visitors to Spain’s popular Costa Blanca coast, Alicante is the first location in Spain that they see. Those who take the time to investigate soon realise that there is more to Alicante than its airport. Benidorm is the key attraction here for plenty of visitors, with its party atmosphere that has been attracting tourists for many years. Those who choose to stay in Alicante itself have plenty of things to do and see.

This is an ancient topic but it will never die as it keeps giving battle to all us who try to look for the best options when it comes to flying. There is really no exact methodology to know how much an alternative route will benefit with your flight. If you are going to travel to any destination in the world, many times it will happen that a direct flight will not be the best option relative to the price. I have written a lot about alternative airports but there is a big difference between an alternative airport and an alternative route. When we speak about airports we mean those ones that are placed near to the one where we would take the direct flight to. And near means a maximum of 100 Kilometers, to set an example.
One of the first things you’ll notice about the culture in Barcelona, and in Spain in general, is that time is pushed forward. In many cultures, you eat lunch between noon and 1:30; in Barcelona, you eat lunch between 3 and 4. Dinner is often not served until very late, between 10 and 11:30 in the evening; if you’re lucky, you may find eateries opening at 9:30, but that is the very earliest; if you try to eat too early, you will end up stuck in a tourist trap and over-paying. Make sure that you pack light snacks to take with you through the day if you are not used to eating at such times.
