An archipelago of 155 islands, of which only a small percentage are inhabited. Positioned almost directly between Africa and India, years ago the tourist board used a slogan “a 1000 miles from anywhere” which nicely summed up the location. A population of just over 80,000, of which the majority live on the main island of Mahé, the location of the capital, Victoria, and the international airport.
There are no direct flights to the Seychelles from the UK, so you travel via Dubai and Doha ( Qatar ) with change of flight. Total flying time including transit will be approx. 15 hours.
The tourism powerhouse of the region, although Abu Dhabi is the main commercial centre. Incredible innovation and iconic design, with a real desire to be the best, the largest, the tallest and of course the most glamorous! Flight time from the UK is just over 7 hours. Whilst Dubai is one of the most liberal countries in the region, you do need to show respect to their customs, their rulers and their religion. Public displays of affection are generally frowned upon.
We feature just the luxurious Four Seasons Resort in the Red Sea resort of Sharm El Sheikh, although through our local agents we have access to many more hotel and cruise rates. Sharm El Sheikh is Egypt’s most developed and international resort, with good beaches and is generally highly regarded as a popular dive destination. Flying time is just under 5 hours.
One of the most attractive and exotic destinations, with a wonderful mix of culture, entertainment and value. We concentrate on the resort areas of Bodrum, Gocek and Maris – all located on the south west coast, and can also include Istanbul on request.
The flying time from the UK is approximately 4 hours.
Cyprus is a pleasant island that -despite increased tourism- still has many quieter villages and resorts, perfectly emphasised by the three hotels we have selected. All are part of the Thanos family, known throughout the region for their innovation and traditional hospitality. All three offer very different resort experiences. Flight time from UK is approx 4 hours.
