Welcome...
...to our carefully prepared hamper of tantalising travel
destinations and refreshing holiday ideas. Whether you
are looking to book a long summer break or you are just
looking for some inspiration to get away for a few days we
are sure that this issue of our regular travel magazine will
inspire you.
As this magazine hits your doorstep, Spring will have
sprung in earnest and an early break to mainland Europe
could be a welcome surprise. Get groovy with a stay at a
trendy “W” hotel (they are sprouting up all over the place)
or perhaps be one of the first to discover the charms of
the Monastero Santa Rosa on the spectacular Amalfi
coastline when it opens in May.
We are delighted to showcase the recently opened
Vivanta by Taj - Bekal resort in the far north of the
Southern India State of Kerala. The area is being
described as similar to Goa before the charter airlines
arrived - a real “off the beaten track” tropical beach
paradise.
There are many ways to travel, but if you want to be
looked after in style, discovering the wonders of the
world in the company of like-minded travellers, then the
“champagne”of escorted tour companies has to be Tauck.
We are pleased to showcase one of the dynamic tours
from their 2012 “Exotics”programme, a destination where
the world is evolving at a staggering pace in a landscape
of striking contrasts and fascinating history - China.
Turkey is a perennial favourite with discerning Marco Polo
clients, a country which has so much to offer with its
impressive historical sites, range of stylish resorts and
boutique hotels, quirky cave hotels and deluxe traditional
gulets for an unforgettable cruise. What about a short
break in Istanbul, a destination often overlooked but
especially rewarding? We have extensive knowledge of
Turkey, so please give us a call to discuss your
requirements or for a copy of the Anatolian Sky brochure.
We look forward to hearing from you when you next get
itchy feet! With best wishes,
Polly Davies
