NEAR VS FAR - WHICH WILL YOU CHOOSE?

Have you been surprised by the increased prices for holidays in Europe?

Flights & accommodation are costing more than ever especially during the school holidays. It is becoming more & more popular to go further afield. You may pay more for your flights but the cheaper accommodation, dining options & activities mean your money goes further. In our next instalment, we compare Bodrum in Türkiye with Koh Samui in Thailand. 

Bodrum, Türkiye

Ancient Halicarnassus now modern day Bodrum Town is an elegant resort & yachting port. The spectacular coastline boasts inviting bays, golden sands & crystal clear water along the peninuslar of the same name. You can explore the Castle of St Peter which is now home to the Museum of Underwater Archaeology, take a cruise on the beautiful Aegean Sea or head inland & discover local villages. 

We recommend following in the footsteps of Cleopatra herself & bathe at the Hot Springs at Karaada (according to local legend). 

Bodrum Castle & Ampitheatre

Koh Samui, Thailand  

Gorgeous Koh Samui in the Gulf of Thailand has spectacular beaches, a tropical climate, intriguing culture & friendly people. With some of the worlds' best cuisine, beautiful resorts & a raft of activities from snorkelling & boating to trekking, wildlife spotting & exploring temples, there is something for everyone. 

Whether you take boat trips to neighbouring islands, trek through lush greenery to hidden waterfalls or just relax on the beach, you are bound to fall in love with the Land of Smiles.
