Santorini

Santorini has definitely reached its peak on social media lately, which makes sense when you see it. Santorini is a cloud-like oasis that envelops travellers in an airy fantasy. Throughout most of the island, romance is sold in abundance.

Stroll down the weathered hills, surrounded by refreshing white walls and blue roofs, and in the evening you’ll have front row seats for a spectacular sunset. As soon as the sun goes down, the city, houses, churches, and restaurants shine like stars.

Tulum

The two foundations of most romantic vacations are an intimate environment and an exotic experience. Tulum offers plenty of both. Relax on a tropical beach, snorkel at any coral reef, swim in a natural sinkhole (or cenote) or visit one of the country’s most intact sites, the Maya Ruins. You can do it. After a day of free time and adventure, the icing on the cake is a drink at any bar.

Whether you want to relax and do as little as possible, get out sightseeing, or try all the available sports, you are likely to benefit from taking time off.

While budgets and destinations may differ, the need to holiday is universal. For quite some time to come however, regardless of the reason for your travel, you will have to be conscious of covid-19 and the recommended places available to you.

Safe travels and happy adventures.
