🇬🇷 CORFU & PAXOS ISLAND HOPPING🇬🇷

I don’t tend to post a lot of deals but this 10 night twin centre island hopping itinerary staying at is too good not to shout about!

Domes Miramare is a five star, adult only retreat and a haven of Mediterranean chic, located in south Corfu. Domes Miramare oozes contemporary flair and Ioanian luxury that is hard to beat. Decor is minimal and design driven, gardens are lush and home to hundred year old olive trees and the beach, which is long and above all, private.

The Agali, this long-established ‘adult friendly’ hotel enjoys one of the best locations on Paxos above its own peaceful white-pebble beach a mile to the south of Gaios. The Agali is ideal for a very relaxed holiday in quiet, green surroundings with a beach to hand and Gaios within walking distance.

Do you only go to a grocery shop when you need to do a monthly shop? No. You probably pop in and buy just a pint of milk sometimes? Would you only go to a florist when you need flowers for a wedding? No. You may buy a small bunch of flowers from time to time.

Small businesses really appreciate all enquiries and all purchases, and they’re important to us.

I regularly hear people say “I didn’t think you’d want a small booking”, “I didn’t think there would be enough in it for you”. Not true!

I know that not every year are people wanting to take huge bucket list trips, especially in the current economic climate, but, when you book those smaller trips with me, it means I will be here to take care of you when you do want something more complicated.

If you have no plans to travel but know others who do, please pass on my details.

Booking with me means no trawling through websites, no contact centres and hold music, no chatbots, no rigid opening hours, just a real person with decades of experience who genuinely cares.

No matter what you are planning, please consider me, I am always delighted for the opportunity to quote, and you know that every single booking, no matter what it is, no matter what the monetary value is appreciated by me and you get a level of care that cannot be provided by a website

Great news. The FCDO has removed* restrictions on travel to Jordan
Home to ancient monuments, nature reserves and seaside resorts. Jordan also has the famed archaeological site of Petra, the Nabatean capital dating to around 300 B.C. Set in a narrow valley with tombs, temples and monuments carved into the surrounding pink sandstone cliffs, Petra earns its nickname, the “Rose City.”
Visit Wadi Rum, also known as the Valley of the Moon, a protected desert wilderness in southern Jordan. Famed for its dramatic copper-red dunes, towering sandstone mountains, and 12,000 years of prehistoric rock art, it is an iconic destination located about an hour’s drive from the coastal town of Aqaba.

I cannot wait to be able to start planning unforgettable tours to Jordan again. If this is on your wish list, get in touch to book a fully protected ATOL bonded package

UK passport holders, if you’re travelling this summer, please check your passports. If you still use an older maroon passport and you’re travelling to Europe this is especially important.

The 10-Year Rule:
Your passport must have been issued less than 10 years before your date of arrival. (Note: If you renewed your current passport early, extra months might have been added to your passport’s expiry date, making the issue date the critical factor).
The 3-Month Rule:
Your passport must have at least 3 months of validity remaining after the day you intend to leave Europe.

If your UK passport is damaged—such as having torn pages, watermarks, or peeling laminate—you must replace it, as it will likely be rejected at border control.

For safeguarding reasons the 1-day premium service is not an option for children’s passports. The 1-week fast track service is the fastest you can use.
You must book an appointment at a passport office, bring original documents, and pay £192 (£206 for a 54-page passport). The passport is delivered to your home by courier 1 week after your appointment.

Please check ahead of time and apply ASAP if you need new passports for travel this summer. Airlines and tour operators will not permit free changes or cancellations based on inability to get passports in time, so don’t be caught out

Share this with anyone who needs to know.

Last full day exploring Nice and the weather is perfect again. Wandering in the Cour Saleya market is lovely and now in a shady spot in Place Charles Felix watching the world go by.
It’s been a wonderful week and there’s so much more to see, I will definitely be back and won’t leave it so long the next time.
If you’re looking for a fantastic mix of sunshine, culture, shopping and gastronomy and just a short flight from the UK, I absolutely recommend it.
I will be back at my desk on Friday morning, refreshed and ready to book your next trip.

The weather in Nice this afternoon is far from, well, nice, so what do you do when the Riviera skies turn grey?

Nice is still a dream.
Think world‑class art at the Matisse or Chagall museums, long lazy lunches and wine tastings, wandering the Old Town’s cosy cafés and boutiques, or escaping to a luxury spa while the rain taps on the windows.
Bad weather is just an excuse to slow down and savour the city in a different light.
Ready to plan your next escape to Nice, come rain or shine? Contact me to start planning. I will be back at my desk on Friday morning!

A few photos from Monaco. So simple to get to by train from Nice-Ville station and a very pretty train ride along the coast line.
Grand Prix preparations for this upcoming weekend were in full swing, and albeit impressive (especially if you’re an F1 fan) it was hard to get the full Monaco “experience”.
This is why you work with a travel professional like me. I give real advice, based on real experience that means you have the best time. Everything online always looks perfect, AI tools like ChatGPT are becoming known as crowd pleasers, giving the info they think you want to hear, not what is necessarily correct. Book your trips with a real person who cares, and real advice and perspective is always part of the package

“You consistently take all the anxiety out of travel arrangements”
Feedback like this makes me happy, and really matters as that’s what I absolutely strive for, no matter what your trip is.
Sadly flight delays are out of my control but when they do happen, all the transfers are amended, hotels are informed, making the experience as seamless as possible. It’s genuinely all part of the service…
If you’re booking a tailor made itinerary with me, or a tour operator package, the level of service is exactly the same

Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈

I believe inclusivity is not a marketing trend or something I celebrate for one month of the year. It sits at the heart of everything I do, every day, and I understand the importance from my own experience.

Whether you are LGBTQ+, an ally, travelling solo, as a couple, with friends or as a family in all its forms, you will always be treated with genuine respect, care and understanding. I work only with partners and experiences that share these values, so you can travel with confidence, feel safe, and be completely yourself wherever you are in the world.
Pride is a powerful reminder of how far we have come and how far we still have to go. My commitment to you is that this is not “rainbow washing”: it is lived experience, year-round support and travel designed with inclusivity at its core.
If you are thinking about your next escape and want a trip that celebrates who you are, I would love to help you plan it.

Today is 100% about relaxation, soaking up some vitamin D and listening to the sound of the sea…
Nice doesn’t have a sandy beach, and to get the extra comforts of quality sun loungers and parasols most opt for a beach club, but which do you choose? Going to the beach in Nice is not the cheapest pass time so it pays to do a bit of research.

in my opinion is perfect. Le Galet (translates as The Pebble in English) is, laid-back and relaxing with Mediterranean inspired cuisine and beautifully appointed.

Dependent on the beach club, the cost of a lounger starts at €25 per day (often with parasol and towel hire extra) going up to €75 per person in some cases. Also the closer you get to the shoreline, the more expensive it will be. Also it is forbidden to bring your own food to a private beach, so factor in the cost of a meal and drinks, but the comfort and convenience is well worth it in my opinion, it’s a real treat day!

Sites like www.mysunbed.com can be used to prebook at some beaches and get costs ahead of time.
