Do something different this Easter, why not swap the wind and the rain for the sun this Easter?
There is no better time to take a weekend break or holiday than over Easter, with warm temperatures and fewer crowds.
Easter sees the start of the holiday season for much of the Mediterranean and one of the joys of a getaway at this time is that many destinations celebrate Easter with colourful parades and processions, markets and outdoor cafes.
Situated in the Mediterranean Sea is the island of Cyprus. Its eastern coast has white sandy beaches and shallow turquoise waters, as well as rocky outcrops which are perfect for snorkelling and diving.
From the quiet backwaters of the western peninsula, to the lively resorts in the east, the island has something for everyone.
There is so much to see and do:
The ‘ethereal and blessed land' of Cyprus is a paradise with monuments of religious devotion where the whole spectrum of Christianity’s historical and cultural development can be seen. In fact it has several religious routes including the Local Route of Lemesos.
With an average of 22 degrees and only 4-5 hours away from England, Cyprus is a perfect Easter getaway.
Faro is the most beautiful coastal getaway for your Easter holiday escape. It has something for everyone.
Families are catered for in every way. It is in the district of the Algarve in southern Portugal with a lovely marina and a historic old town full of outdoor cafes.
It has a buzzing nightlife and busy theatres.
Its medieval quarters are home to strange museums, churches and even a bone chapel.
Faro is the perfect place for an Easter holiday with its lagoons of the Parque Natural da Ria Formosa and nearby beaches, including the islands of ilha de Faro to the southwest and ilha da Barreta to the south.
Not far away, The Algarve is spectacular. It has breathtaking cliffs and golden beaches. Its activities are second to none, with its beach bars, castles, diving, entertainment and so much more.
