Piramyds around the world

Pyramid of Djoser
The most known pyramids are in Egypt, but the pyramids were built around the world in different exotic places that include Europe. These fascinating constructions were made by different ancient civilizations and as incredible as it may sound they had no connection with each other.

Short Haul All Inclusive: Dream Destinations

Looking for a little bit of luxury for your next summer escape? Upgrading your break to an all inclusive package is the simplest way to get a taste of a limitless luxury lifestyle.

Most short haul destinations offer a range of hotels covering all types of board basis. From holidays to Cyprus to all inclusive holidays to Tunisia, wherever you fancy traveling, there will be an all inclusive accommodation choice available.

Typically, all inclusive holidays ensure that guests are given three full meals per day, local alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, and snacks. Holidaymakers are usually free to make the most of the bars on site, with cocktails, beers, spirits and soft drinks available for a minimum of 12 hours per day.

All inclusive hotels also offer a comprehensive itinerary of activities and entertainment. Evening productions, some water-sports and use of any spa facilities are generally included in the cost of your holiday.

Where to go? That really depends on the type of holiday you’re looking for. Tunisia and Turkey are both fabulous destinations for the traveler who is hoping to enjoy a rejuvenating beach retreat.

Mixed with a good dose of cultural highlights – including traditional baths, bazaars and historical sites – there’s ample opportunity to discover a little bit more about the area if you get itchy feet.



The Greek Islands are some of the most peaceful in the world. The islands’ natural beauty, luscious flora and fauna are complemented perfectly by hillsides adorned with white cubic builds and ancient monuments. Rhodes is an excellent choice for a Greek Island first-timer.

If you've done Greece and fancy a change, Cyprus is a top spot in the sun with fabulous food, extremely enticing beaches and a wonderfully rich heritage.

Make things more manageable for next summer and book your all inclusive holiday today. With a lot longer to clear your balance in small affordable installments, you’ll be set for a perfectly stress-free luxury holiday.

Romantic Destinations around the World

It doesn't have to be a honeymoon to be romantic. Some couples celebrate their silver, golden, or diamond anniversaries by getting away for a romantic break. Some want to celebrate their retirement by taking a well-earned break with their beloved spouse. And of course, you don’t have to be married to enjoy a romantic holiday with the one you love (although let us hope that if you’re not married, neither is he or she). So there are very many couples from very many places, from various age groups and with various budgets, looking for romantic destinations where they can spend a little quality time with their partners. The choice, depending of course on one’s budget, is extremely diverse and can be a bit daunting or bewildering.

The West Country, Devon or Cornwall, London, Paris, Rome or New York, Southern Europe, The Bahamas, Florida, Costa Rica, Pacific islands or South America, The Orient, South-East Asia.

For those who don’t have the financial resources for a trip abroad but are looking for cheap holidays, there are some lovely, quiet, and quaint places in the south-west of England where the climate is a bit warmer or milder than most of the rest of Britain and where it is possible to have a truly romantic getaway among truly impressive moors, meadows, and mountains. Think cream teas and scones or cider and local ale, sitting in a beer garden in a little village or on a beach.

Big Cities

London is another option within the U.K. but not quite the same deal as a country village or quiet beach. Western Europe’s capital cities offer romance of another sort. There is so much history, architecture, art and culture to be experienced in these historical cities, dating from the ages of empires through the Renaissance and including some modern architectural wonders. They also contain some of the world’s finest urban parks where you can get away from the hustle and bustle to enjoy some peace and quiet among a myriad of flowers in some very fine gardens Apart from its parks Paris, for example, has cafes, museums, churches, palaces and of course the Seine. On the other side of the Atlantic is the enormous New York City, without much history but making up for that with its artistic, architectural and fantastic cultural diversity. The range of international restaurants is second to none. And you can really, completely escape from it all in Central Park.

The Mediterranean and Aegean

Try talking about Venice without mentioning romance, with gondola rides along the canals, under those bridges, or over them into the piazzas for coffee. Further down the Italian coast and all around the Mediterranean is a huge assortment of seaside resorts catering to all sorts of tastes. Portugal, not quite but almost Med, has so much more to offer than beaches, with a rich history and heritage influenced by its many former colonies. Spain is famous and even infamous for its beach resorts but again there are places where one can find serenity. To the east, Santorini is a particularly fine example of one of those Greek islands in the Aegean with their ancient and quintessentially romantic hillside villages.

Caribbean Sea

Another sea attracting many honeymooners is part of Central America. The island of Nassau is a typical example of the Bahamas, with turquoise water and its associated water-sports, delightful places to eat, and electrifying nightlife in each of its numerous resorts. Florida is also in this part of the world and has a huge variety of attractions, from alligators in the everglades to roller-coasters in Disney World. Within the same waters and with similar characteristics are the Turks and Caicos Islands, Jamaica, the British Virgin Islands, Dominica, St. Lucia, Barbados, and so on. Not far away on the mainland is Costa Rica with lush tropical rainforest and big volcanoes with waterfalls, butterfly farms, and mountain-top cloud forests. Not to mention the beaches.

South Pacific

If you consult a travel agent like the Travel Republic and say that you’re looking for an unforgettable holiday, they may suggest something as far afield as Polynesia. Apart from the white beaches, Tahiti has colorful valleys between its peaks, with waterfalls and lovely little villages. The Great Barrier Reef is a world wonder and also has some great resort islands such as the Whitsundays. There you can snorkel or dive among the reef and its wildlife in crystal-clear water, and then relax with a cocktail on the resort’s beach. There are a huge number of islands in the South Pacific and many of them have resorts facilitating romantic vacations, but don’t forget the mainland to the east – South America. For the more adventurous couples what could be more stimulating than Peru, for example, Ecuador or Argentina?

The Orient

Finally, a lot more beach resorts. Thailand, for example, has the island of Phuket on the west side of the Malay Peninsula and the island of Samui on the east. Up near the Cambodian border is Elephant Island and all three have outstandingly beautiful central regions. Each is surrounded by beach resorts catering to a variety of budgets. Indonesia and the Philippines consist of literally hundreds of islands each, so here is a good place to look for a reasonably undeveloped and unspoiled (and romantic) resort.
