Summer Holiday 2010 Ideas

Written by Donna on November 23, 2009

Now is the time to start planning your Summer 2010 holidays as there are super low cost deals, plenty of availability, free child places, offers if holidays are booked online and superb lead in prices to take advantage of!

January has notoriously been the peak period for booking summer holidays for decades and tour operators will be looking to ensure you book yours with them…

The Spanish Canary Islands are always a firm summer holiday favourite, although the Costa del Sol and the Portuguese Algarve tends to be where the best holiday deals can be found.

Greece is beautiful in the summer; explore the scenic north of Corfu for a fantastic, relaxing family holiday or buy a package holiday in the glorious sandy south and stay in the party town of Kavos. How about the pretty historic south east of Rhodes island with self catering accommodation in Lindos or a hotel in Ixia, the windsurfing favourite in the north east? Greek Skiathos island is ideal for holiday makers who like to travel but would rather not drive, as a regular bus service runs along the south coast from the beautiful sandy arc of beach at Koukounaries in the east, to the bustling capital Skiathos Town, in the west.

Combine a city break with a summer beach holiday and head to Nice in the South of France on the Cote d’Azur; a cosmopolitan city on the Mediterranean. From Nice you could head west to Monte Carlo and then onto Italy, or head east to Cannes, Cap Esterel, St Raphael and St Tropez.

The Croatian coast will be warm during the summer and perfect for family holidays or group holidays as will Algarve holidays, as both offer a good choice of budget and luxury accommodation, with a huge choice of diverse resorts.

Majorca holidays, Menorca holidays and holidays to Ibiza have been popular for a long time. There are many low cost flights to the Balearic Islands, and resorts such as Magaluf in Majorca and Ibiza Town (Ibiza) are clubbing hotspots for young party goers. Santa Eulalia and Portinatz in Ibiza are ideal for a more relaxed and friendly holidays, whilst Port de Pollenca in Majorca and Ciutadella in Menorca are family hot spots.
