Cyprus hotels, Corfu hotels and Fuerteventura hotels are available in amazing locations and at even more amazing prices.
Corfu
The island of Corfu has a potent combination of natural beauty and fascinating historical sites that make it appealing to all types of travellers. The more adventurous will want to explore the island’s verdant countryside and fabled past, while some visitors might be content to enjoy its excellent beaches or to laze around one of the pools found in numerous Corfu hotels. Mount Pantokrator, which rises over 1000 meters above the island, offers some unforgettable views of the surrounding area. Corfu’s old town Kerkyra contains a mix of architecture from the different cultures that once inhabited Corfu. Shops, restaurants and bars line the maze of narrow streets that are dominated by a 16th century fortress. Don’t miss a trip to one of Corfu’s famous “gold shops” that specialise in Greek jewellery made of gold.
Cyprus
Located in the south of Turkey, Cyprus offers a diverse mix of both eastern and western cultures. Legendary figures said to have graced the island include the Greek goddess of love and beauty, Aphrodite, Cleopatra, and even Alexander the Great. An array of modern amenities such as pools, spas and private beaches are available at many Cyprus hotels. “Not-to-be-missed” sites on the island include the Neolithic village of Choirokoitia, a well-preserved settlement dating from the 7th until the 4th millennia BC. You can also enjoy some of the traditional local folk music and Cypriot at one of the many festivals that run throughout the year.
Fuerteventura
Fuerteventura’s volcanic landscape is truly out of this world. The island offers an array of modern conveniences and amenities despite its rustic appearance. It also offers plenty of sunny beaches and crystal clear waters in which to enjoy a wide array of water sports and activities. With 300 days of sunshine each year and cool refreshing breezes, the island has earned the nickname “The Island of Eternal Spring”.The winter swell and Trade winds provide the perfect atmosphere for some serious wind surfing and surfing. Many surf and dive schools offer classes around the island, making this a great place to learn something new or improve your existing skills. If you’re feeling a bit brave, then why not take a motorbike, or even a 4X4 to the mountainous surrounds of the island.
