Need to get away from it all this summer? Here’s eight lavish locations for you to put your feet up in.
5. Tenerife
The always-popular Tenerife is a great way to escape the hustle bustle of everyday life. With sun-kissed beaches and an array of nightclubs and bars, it's a perfect getaway for both young and older audiences alike. Make sure you've packed your factor 50! Photo: AFP Contributor
6. Hurghada
Hurghada in Egypt simply has so much to offer. If you're not being amazed by its beautiful natural scenery, you're being absorbed by its rich local culture - and don't forget the Hurghada Grand Aquarium! It's very hot almost all year round and it's a long plane flight at eight hours and 45 minutes, however, so bare that in mind. Photo: -
7. Larnaca
Larnaca is Cyprus' third largest city and one of its hottest tourist destinations. It's pretty close to Ayia Napa, which is well known for its bustling nightlife - if you're into that kind of thing, Larnaca is a must-visit. It's not too far away either, with a one-way plane journey clocking in at around four hours and 25 minutes. Photo: -
8. Crete
The biggest of the Greek holiday islands and the most popular, it's not hard to see why Crete is such a hit with tourists. White beaches, a deep cultural history and a nightlife like no other, it hits all the familiar beats and then some. Photo: LOUISA GOULIAMAKI
