Olhao d'Agua, Vilamoura, Armacao de Pera, Quarteira & Praia da Luz.

Corfu

Corfu has a natural beauty with mountainous skylines plunging into the bluest seas, elegant architecture, sun-blessed beaches, enchanting night life, and fine cuisine. There is an abundance of sand, shingle and pebble beaches, leading to clear waters, ideal for swimming or water-sports. Take time to explore the island and you will find spectacular scenery - and a trip to the heart of the island will give you an insight into Corfiot village life. Time in some places seems to have stood still and everyday life carries on pretty much the same as it must have for hundreds of years. Even though the island is constantly developing to cater to the demands of today’s tourist, it has still managed to retain its beauty and charm and the majority of the island remains untouched by mass tourism.
Where to stay: Our hotels are located at Dassia, Nissaki, Paleokastritsa, Kontokali Bay and Gouvia.

Fuerteventura

The second largest island of the Canary archipelago, Fuerteventura is just 62 miles from the coast of Morocco, around 65 miles long and 20 miles wide. The north east of the island is first in line when the winds blow in from the Sahara, carrying the sand which forms more than 150 spectacular beaches - some are wild and lonely, while others bustle with tourist activity and there are also child-friendly beaches, surfing beaches and remote spots favoured by nudists, nature-lovers and bird-watchers. Further south the terrain is more volcanic with some light sand man-made beaches.
The rich coastal areas are a mecca for watersports lovers with a superb choice of watersports, windsurfing, kite surfing, surfing and jet ski. Divers can explore shipwrecks and magnificent underwater lava beds with their teeming marine life, and fishing enthusiasts can try their luck at sea fishing. Other leisure activities available are two golf courses, jeep safari, horse riding, off roading by car or motor bike, sailing, catamaran sailing trips and yacht chartering - Fuerteventura has to be one of the best Canary Islands holiday destinations for all of these leisure pursuits! To savour the island's traditional history, explore the small coastal villages with their craftwork, typical architecture, churches, castles and network of museums.
Where to stay: Our hotels & apartments are situated in Corralejo and Caleta de Fuste.

Lake Garda

We are delighted to be able to offer for Summer 2007 a short series of flights and holidays to Lake Garda, one of the most beautiful and certainly the largest of the Italian Lakes.

The long and narrow northern part is bordered on both sides by steep cliffs which are draped in spectacular pine forests. The southern part is wide with low banks, divided by the charming narrow Sirmione peninsular. This area with its diverse and beautiful scenery, olive groves and lemon orchards, enjoys a very pleasant climate which at times resembles that of the Mediterranean. Boat and hydrofoil ferries ply across the lake from all centres and a good train service operates from Peschiera and Desenzano to the northern Italian towns of Verona, Vincenza, Padua and Venice.

Sorrento & Capri

This beautiful 30 mile stretch of mountainous coastline is situated on the Sorrento peninsula between Sorrento and Salerno, just south of Naples.

The famous islands of Capri and Ischia are nearby, both of stunning natural beauty. The narrow serpentine coastal road clings to the coastal cliffs with their terraces of olive and lemon trees and grape vines. This road offers some dramatic and breathtaking scenery but is only wide enough for one vehicle in some places.

Seven main islands make up the Canarian archipelago, each one distinctly different, but the local people maintain that it is Tenerife that has something to represent each of the other islands - lunar landscapes, pine forests and mountains, lush sub-tropical valleys and the barren aridity of the South. All this and much more make up the island of Tenerife - a truly mini-continent - and all corners dominated by Mount Teide, a dormant volcano reaching over 12,000 ft high. With its benign climate - one of the best in the world - and a choice of top-class resorts catering for different tastes, Tenerife has something to offer everyone.
