Where do my customers go?
A client recently wanted to visit Istanbul, Turkey for the Champions League Final. Needless to say its very busy and expensive. My solution. A Friday to Monday package holiday to Side near Alanya airport then fly upto Istanbul Saturday morning to see some of the beautiful city before going to the match. They then returned To Side on Sunday morning to relax from all the excitement.

We have just had a fantastic time on the beautiful island of Menorca in the resort of Cala’ n Porter
Accommodation
We stayed on a lovely complex called Siesta Mar 2 with great wifi, tv, air conditioning and was spotlessly clean with really big balconies.
There was a very nice pool area with a bar and two supermarkets literally across the road.
The lovely resort centre was only 3 minutes from our apartment.
Resort
All the bars and restaurants are within 150 metres of the resort centre with an excellent choice 6 or 7 traditional Spanish restaurants catering to all budgets, a Chinese/Indian, a British bar serving food and a USA steak house! There are also various other bars like the Irish bar and a cocktail lounge and all completely family friendly.
There is plenty of live singers on at venues spread between the bars on different nights.
Beach
This Blue Flag beach is truly the highlight of the resort, reached by steps (about 180 so bit harder going back up) or via a winding road.
As you can see from the pictures, its stunning. Nice and shallow to splash about with the kids, fish you can see snorkelling, soooo clean everywhere, various non motorised water sports equipment at very good prices, pedalo was 20 euros for an hour and a couple of restaurants and a shop for when you get hungry and thirsty.
Additional information
There is a restaurant called Club Menorca looking out from the cliff top with amazing views over the bay, great food and not to be missed selfies!
Further along there is Cova d’en Xoroi, a trendy bar with live music and good views but with an admission fee of 25 euros per person, it’s can be expensive.
All in all, a fantastic family resort, everything close together, hardly any traffic and only 15 minutes in a taxi (about 25 euros) or 30 minutes on the coach from the airport.
With the stunning beach and crystal-clear water you will love it.
Why not combine the beach holiday with a city break on the way to make the most of your holiday!

DETAILS
Conveniently located, excellent value, well-equipped semi-detached cabins within easy walking distance of Äkäs Hotel (150-250m) where all Santa Break excursions depart from, and where guests have the option of taking pre-bookable half board meals or self-catering.

RESORT
Santa Breaks in Yllas
Ylläs is an idyllic unspoiled area of Lapland with marvellous scenery and high-quality cosy log cabins dotted around the woods. The main village is Äkäslompolo a handful shops, colourful local bars and restaurants and an excellent, large supermarket. Head further into the remote Lappish wilderness to stay in the area of Ylläsrinnie, with its stunning, unspoiled natural scenery. The skies here are especially clear, ideal for witnessing the magical Northern Lights. You may even spot reindeer roaming around.

All of our Santa Breaks include an amazing visit to Santa's Elves Hideaway, filled with Christmas fun for all the family. Explore the elves hideaways - make gingerbread with the elves, meet Comet the reindeer and play games in the snow. Plus of course, the highlight of the day

A private meeting with Santa Claus himself guaranteed for each family!
We also include arctic thermal suits and warm snow boots for all adults and children (3 years and older - as these breaks are not recommended for infants). Meaning you can 'come as you are' with your normal winter outdoor clothing, and we'll do the rest, so you can relax and enjoy the Lapland snow.

There is always time to join your choice of additional optional activities such as husky, reindeer and snowmobile safaris or perhaps try skiing or snowboarding.

Finally, to round off your break, enjoy a very special Festive Feast including fun games and a disco.

Enjoy an unforgettable short break in December to get the whole family well and truly into the festive spirit in the run up to Christmas!

Not wanting to fly or take long journeys to reach a port, Fred Olson sail from Liverpool!
As a family-run cruise line, Fred. Olsen really take your experience personally. While the rest of the cruise industry has gone for bigger ships, they have always believed that smaller is better. With less guests on board the service is personal and the atmosphere is warm and friendly. Their elegant, smaller ships can also reach places the bigger ships cannot and are able to dock at smaller ports to explore more off-the-beaten-track destinations.

They may be tired but they are still out there exploring and enjoying the world, what are you waiting for!

Action Fraud UK, the UK’s scams reporting centre, reports on 24 May the amount of money lost through holiday fraud has more than doubled in just 12 months.
Action Fraud said victims reported losing a total of £15.3 million in the 2022/23 financial year, compared to £7.4 million in 2021/22.
The average loss per victim in the last financial year was £2,372. Some 44% of all reports were made by people aged in their 20s or 40s. This is most likely as this age group uses the internet more.
The most frequent frauds involve cloning websites of comparison companies, holiday providers and airlines, duping victims into believing they are entering payment details on genuine sites.
Fake confirmation emails are often sent, meaning some victims only realise what has happened when they attempt to check-in for their flight at the airport and are told no booking has been made in their name.
Moneysavingexpert rated travel businesses for service and refunds in Covid. TC rated 91%, the second best company got 70%. Some big names did badly. TUI got -60%. Some online companies got -95%.
