Cyprus)
I’ve just returned from a wonderful stay at the Asimina Suites in Cyprus. This five star all-suite hotel has an enviable beachside setting, located just outside Paphos.
I was fortunate enough to stay in an Executive One Bedroom Suite with its own private pool and jacuzzi. This would be amazing for honeymooners or couples who are on a special trip.
The hotel offers a superb range of facilities, and including two freshwater pools, an indoor pool, an Elixir Spa with steam room and saunas, and a really well-equipped gym.
The food really was incredible and was a stand-out feature for me, as were the hotel staff. Always friendly and welcoming… and always smiling!
The hotel is located in a quieter, more tranquil part of Paphos. UNESCO listed Paphos town is a very pleasant 25 minute stroll along the coast.
This is a great hotel for couples, honeymooners and even small groups of friends looking for a luxury escape to mark a celebration. Don’t forget that Cyprus is a perfect location once other parts of the Mediterranean have cooled down. It really is a year-round destination. Even in March the temperatures were in the early twenties.
If you’d like to find out more about this hotel or any of the other Constantinou Bros hotels in Cyprus, don’t hesitate to get in touch. I have access to come exclusive early bird prices for this season!

Bear Watching in Canada 🐻 🇨🇦
This is high on my bucket list and one day very soon I hope to take my daughters there to see bears in their natural habitat.
Bears can be found across all of Canada, from #Quebec to the #Rockies. British Columbia is arguably the best place to see both black bears and grizzly bears, with May to October being the best time of year to see them.
Whether you’re interested in an escorted tour of Canada or you’re more keen on a tailor-made itinerary to explore at your own pace, I’d love to help you plan an adventure of a lifetime to Canada 🇨🇦

That’s my 2023 Travel Wrap! 🌍
Looking back on what I’ve done and where I’ve been in 2023, and I forgot how much how I’d actually done! It still seems crazy that just a few years ago, global travel was paused due to the pandemic. It has made me realise that we should never take travel for granted ✈️
From Disney World adventures to skiing in Austria… from glamping on the shores of Lake Garda to discovering new cities in Europe (Ghent is a hidden gem!)… and from island hopping in Greece to five star luxury in Corfu. Every trip has been brilliant and memorable ☀️
Now my daughters are getting slightly older (currently 10 and 7), I am starting to feel that we can start being way more adventurous, and I can’t wait to start planning some great trips for next year and beyond 🧳
Where’s on your list for next year? Don’t forget, if you need help in planning your next adventure, I would absolutely love to help 🫶

Beautiful Skiathos 🇬🇷
I was delighted to hear that from next year, EasyJet will be operating a new flight route to the beautiful Greek Island of Skiathos. Flights will be available from Gatwick, Bristol and Manchester.
With lush pine forests and clear turquoise waters and some of the most beautiful beaches in the Mediterranean, the island of Skiathos is located in the Sporades Islands, in the northwest Aegean Sea, close to the Greek mainland.
It’s an elegant island with a cosmopolitan feel, yet small in size at just 8 miles long. With endless beaches to explore, there’s also countless opportunities for snorkelling and watersports, as well as boat trips around the island as well as to other outlying islands.
Skiathos Town, the island’s charming capital, bustles with atmosphere. Visitors can meander around the small streets and alleyways, with incredible restaurants and cafes spilling onto the streets around every corner. The town comes alive at nighttime and is well known for its nightlife 💃
If you like the sound of Skiathos, where for a summer or holiday or even just a long weekend with friends, get in touch to find out more about the new flight route! 💙

Kuoni offers an exceptional portfolio of holidays, from long haul adventures to quality breaks closer to home in Europe.
I actually booked my honeymoon with Quoin (11 years ago ) and it was an incredible itinerary, where we stayed in 5 amazing and unique hotels in different parts of the island, allowing us to get the most out of the time we had there. Highlights for me were seeing elephants in Yala National Park, exploring the stunning Tea Plantations, and visiting Sigiriya Rock.
