So, with Manchester in mind – where do you want to fly to?

• Gorgeous Zante in Greece is simply amazing. Popular amongst Manchester folks because it’s practically the perfect holiday destination. It boasts perfect beaches, romance by the bucket load and that elusive sunshine. We’re definitely thinking of flying to Zante from Manchester ourselves!
• In Portugal, the Algarve’s capital, Faro is a tip top destination. It’s only about 3 hours from home, has hot summers and fantastic facilities like golf, aqua parks for the little ones and enough beaches to choose a different one every day!
• Montego Bay is winter sunshine heaven! Escape the grey clouds of home and top up your tan on the fantastic Jamaican beaches. It’s not just relaxation on the menu, try some snorkelling or drop into a restaurant to try some of the local delights. We think you’ll find it very tough to come home after a few days in Jamaica!
• Antalya in Turkey is a top choice from Manchester, it’s relatively close (the flight is only a few hours) it’s got buckets of sunshine and fantastic beaches and is outside the EU’s value added tax area, so you can stock up on a couple of bargains while you’re there!
• It must be the sun, sea and sand that make Majorca a top choice for Mancunians but of course there’s plenty more to it on top of all that! It’s great for a few days of sunshine any time of year, with a vibrant nightclub scene, horse riding and water sports if you’re feeling adventurous.
