Easter excitement

Fancy something a little different from the usual chocolate eggs for your Easter holidays? We’ve got some top ideas for an Easter break that will blow your mind.

How about some early sunshine on a wonderful break to Mexico? This historic country is big on Easter. The traditional spectacles that take place throughout the country are perfect if you want to see something a little different. Holy week runs from Palm Sunday to Easter Saturday and the silent procession, Procesion del Silencio, is an amazing sight. Call us now for some great deals to Mexico next Easter.

In Greece, they take Easter very seriously, so make the most of your time off by taking an early break there. Most major cities are pretty quiet as everyone escapes to hang out with their families, but in the smaller towns and especially the islands you’ll see their tradition in full bloom. Greek families get together and spend the entire day, talking, laughing and roasting a whole lamb. The island of Chios is a particular favourite, with an amazing fireworks competition between two local churches – as church services continue inside!

Portugal is a country ripe with tradition and Easter is no different. The Ecce Homo Procession is definitely one to check out. Barefoot men in tunics walk in the streets. If you head further south, shepherds traditionally crowd town centres to have their flocks blessed. Food is a big part, with delicious roast kid, meatballs and stews.

So whatever you’re into at Easter, we have a destination to suit you!
