Springtime Sensations, Part IV: Cherries

18 May, 2018

One of my earliest holiday memories is a huge bowl of cherries plunged in icy water to keep them cool. For me, that image conjures up what’s fantastic about spring and summer: the combination of beautiful weather and colourful, super-fresh fruit. And I’m not alone in this. Remember that idiom, ‘life is just a bowl of cherries’? We cherish the cherry so much, we’ve made it synonymous with the good things in life. To get to the bottom of why

Monaco? Surely the playground of the rich and famous is going to be way out of my league, I hear you say. Believe it or not, it just might not be.

Agrigento

Agrigento (Sicily) Shore Excursions

17 May, 2018

Some 2500 years ago on the south-west coast of Sicily there existed a vast city inhabited by more than half a million people. Originally known as Akragas, this city was one of the highlights of Ancient Greece which lies just south of the modern-day city of Agrigento. Today this magnificent World Heritage Site is better known as the Valley of the Temples and is the main shore excursion for cruise ship visitors arriving in the nearby port of Porto Empedocle. Other popular attractions include the Turkish Steps and Roman Villa which are located just a short ride to the west of the port near Realmonte.

One Day in Gdańsk: A 24-Hour Itinerary

16 May, 2018

I’m a great lover of 24-hour itineraries, mainly because I want to see as much as I can when I’m on a city break.I’m very pleased to say that Gdańsk, in Poland, lends itself perfectly to this kind of treatment. An ancient port with a war torn history, Gdańsk has seen both hardship and prosperity, but today this charming city with its somewhat un-Polish, more ‘United Nations’ style architecture,enjoys a unique atmosphere that appeals to tourists from all over the

The welcoming city of Budapest is a fabulous place to take youngsters.Not only do the locals embrace tourists in general, but there are also lots of family friendly attractions

Springtime Sensations, Part III: Artichokes

15 May, 2018

Artichokes get a raw deal. Odd-looking and inaccessible, they’re like the armadillo of the vegetable world. Personally, though, they’re among my favourite foods. Their delicate yet robust flavour is impossible to describe but addictively moreish – a combination of bitter and nutty, it only requires a dash of good olive oil to bring it out into the open. What’s more, there’s a wealth of history and heritage lying behind the humble choke. For such an unassuming vegetable, they have a

Seville is a stunning city in Spain, famous for its beautiful historical landmarks and strong traditional influences.

If your ideal holiday offers a peaceful and quiet escape from boisterous and noisy crowds, you may have written off Tenerife as a travel destination.

Caleta de Fuste

Since the small town of Caleta de Fuste on the island of Fuerteventura was first developed as a tourist destination, families have been drawn here by its wide, flat beaches, calm, clear, shallow waters and entertaining local wildlife. The fact that all this safe, inviting fun is just seven kilometres from the airport on one of Spain’s most popular Canary Islands is a major bonus when travelling with young children.

While thousands of visitors flock to the west and central Algarve every summer to party and enjoy the bustling atmosphere of resorts like Albufeira and Praia da Rocha, many Portuguese make their way to Monte Gordo.

Portugal’s Monte Gordo is peaceful, but don’t let me mislead you: this is no quaint fishing village with
