No wonder New Zealand has a clean green image. The best holidays in New Zealand make the most of its great outdoors and the country is now a leading and fashionable eco holiday destination. New Zealand is two islands, conveniently called North Island and South Island. The country measures 994 miles (1,600km) from north to south and is 1,200 miles (1931km) southeast of Australia. The landscape is dominated by mountains and there is a stunning variety of scenery. There are over fourteen national parks and you will find bubbling geysers, tumbling waterfalls, moss filled valleys, forests and golden beaches. New Zealand also has a long ski season from early June to October! The two main islands are relatively narrow so no inland location lies more than about 68 miles (110km) from the sea.

Holiday destination: New Zealand Holidays
Holiday destination: Cook Islands Holidays
The Cook Islands offer you not one but 15 small islands smack bang in the middle of the South Pacific Ocean. Look on a map and you will find them north-east of New Zealand. The islands were formed from volcanic activity and are split into two main groups; southern and northern. Rarotonga, the capital, is in the southern group. On holidays to the Cook Islands you’ll wallow in beautiful lagoons and laze on sandy beaches. No building is allowed to be taller than the tallest palm tree. This is about as remote as it gets. The islands are self-governing in free association with New Zealand.
Holiday destination: Australia
The worst part of going to Australia on holiday is going home. It’s such a diverse, large country that you just know that you’ve missed some of the essential sights. No worries. You can always make a return trip and explore a different area. Try as you might, you just can’t see it all on holiday.
First-time visitors are amazed at just how eclectic Australia is. At the northern tip, near Cairns, the weather is tropical, with balmy temperatures and ancient rainforests full of wildlife. On the Gold Coast, surfer dudes hit the waves while sunbathers look on. In the south, rolling hills and dry warm weather in the Barossa region is perfect for producing grapes for Australia’s most famous wine labels like Wolf Blass and Jacob’s Creek. Stretched through the middle of the country, the Outback appeals to nature lovers and stargazers. In the west, there’s a touch of cowboy culture with large-scale cattle and sheep ranches, plus a gorgeous coastline that is perfect for leisurely, sightseeing drives. For those who want to go off the beaten path, make sure your holiday itinerary includes Tasmania – an island that is a small wonder down under.
No matter where you go, the welcome you’ll receive from Australian residents is warm and sincere. The Australians see visitors from Britain like long lost family members. They are among the world’s most hospitable people and before you know it, you really do feel more like one of the family, than a tourist. You’re sure to take home memories of not just what you saw and did, but of the mates you made along the way.
Holiday destination: Turkey
Your exploration of Turkey should include Istanbul, the only city in the world to be located in both Europe and Asia. It was once the capital of three empires, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman – each has left its mark. The city’s museums, churches, palaces, mosques and bazaars are attractions that hold infinite potential for sightseeing. Don’t miss Tokapi Palace, a maze of grand buildings that was once the home to sultans and their court between the 15th and 19th centuries. Its opulence is truly astounding. Istanbul’s Imperial Sultana met Mosque (better known as the Blue Mosque) is synonymous with the city. In the summer months, an evening light show is a wonderful way to learn more about this cultural landmark.
Take a path to another time by following one of the infamous silk roads of Anatolia. Goods such as porcelain, spices, paper, jewelry and silk flowed along these roads for almost 2,000 years. Today their renewed popularity brings tourists from around the world to witness this important part of history, with visits to ancient mansions, inns, and mosques. Turkey’s Mediterranean coast is famous for mild winters and warm summers. A dip in the Mediterranean, or a visit to a Turkish bath, makes Britain’s sometime chilly weather seem far, far away.
