This document summarizes several international holiday destinations, including Prague, France, Spain, Greece, the UK, Turkey, Thailand, Egypt, and the US. It provides brief descriptions of popular attractions, activities, and regions in each location for travelers to consider.

2. Prague presents itself to you as a changeable
city, which likes to alternate styles: it is
romantic and successful, ancient and modern,
but above all it is a city that is cosmopolitan.
The Old Town Hall with the famous Prague
Astronomical Clock. Cafes enticing you to come and
have a seat, boutiques and sight-seeing cruises on
the Vltava. The Gothic Charles Bridge and Church of
St. Nicholas in the Lesser Town, the most beautiful
Baroque church in Prague.

3. Among our favourite holidays in France are the beaches of
Corsica and Ile de Ré. You can go cycling in the French
countryside, take a cooking course or spend a few days in Paris.
In the French Alps you can ski on a budget, or with the family,
and the mountains also make a great destination in summer. You
can rent a French chateau and even in winter you’ll find long days
of sunshine on the Cote d’Azur, where you can enjoy the timeless
beauty of Nice.

4. Spain has long been a favourite of British
holidaymakers, and it remains number one holiday
destination. In particular, the Balearic islands of
Mallorca, Ibiza and Menorca are perennial big-
hitters, along with Canary Islands such as Tenerife
and the beautiful lesser-known La Gomera and La
Palma.
Other great beach destinations on the mainland
include the Costa de la Luz and Catalonia.

5. Holidays in Greece are all about simplicity. Despite the recent
economic crisis, it is the whitewashed villas, the friendly tavernas, the
hot sun and blue seas that keep us coming back year after year. Even
Greek food is a masterpiece of simplicity, both traditional and healthy.
It is the islands that attract the most visitors. Corfu’s villas never
lose their appeal. If you’re looking for the quintessential small Greek
island, Paxos, which has no airport and is a great place for lazy days,
boat trips and lovely villas.
Santorini is the largest and arguably the most interesting of the
islands.

6. The UK’s most popular tourist destinations include
London, Devon and Cornwall, the Lake District, the
Yorkshire Dales, East Anglia and Scotland.
In the English countryside you can rent a Downton
Abbey-style historic house sleeping 6 – 60 people. Perfect
for birthdays or anniversaries.
In Scotland you could stay in a picturesque cottage, take
a whisky tour, ride a steam train on the West Highland Line
or take a tour of Mull to see minke whales, otters, seals
and porpoises.

7. With its endless Aegean coastline, Turkey
has some of Europe’s finest beaches, many of
which remain relatively unspoilt. And you’re
rarely far from a magnificent Roman ruin or
majestic mosque. Although most summer sun
seekers head straight to the coast, a short
break in Istanbul should not be missed,
ideally in spring or autumn.

8. Thailand, the Land of Smiles, continues its meteoric rise from
backpacker's haven to mainstream holiday favourite. The
appeal is obvious: beautiful countryside and beaches, great
food, friendly people and low prices.
It’s the islands that attract the most attention, however, with Phuket
bringing in most visitors. Most of its hotels are world class. Not far
away, in the Gulf of Siam, the idyllic island of Koh Samui has some
delightful small luxury hotels, and its neighbour Koh Phangan is on
the up.

9. It’s difficult to know where to start with the historic
treasures that Egypt boasts, but a great way to explore
them is on a Nile Cruise. Float in luxury between the
temples of Karnak and Luxor, the Valley of the Kings,
and the great dam at Aswan.
The capital Cairo is home to the Egyptian Museum
where you can see King Tutankhamun’s solid gold death
mask, and just outside the city are the iconic pyramids
and Sphinx.

10. Love beaches? Hawaii is stunning whether you
opt for an island-hopping tour, a small ship cruise
or a relaxing stay in stunning Kauai. Florida is
easy to reach from the UK: Orlando is the big
draw, but you can drive to Key West or find
luxury hotels in Miami and the Keys.
