Good news for those travellers who were thinking of going abroad this summer: the pound is increasing its strenght against other countries’ currencies, which will make it cheaper for us to travel abroad.  Eurozone will be one of the favourite destinations one more year, with lowcost airlines travelling from the islands to the old continent.

Some destinations like Turkey, Egypt and Spain have always been considered  good value for money, which is these days a very important factor in deciding which holiday to take and will for sure, still be chosen this year as the place to enjoy good weather, sun and sandy beaches.

Don’t forget you will get even better value for money if you book your hotel with Hotelopia!

As the summer approaches, we are sure some of you are thinking of visiting Spain, hot weather, sun almost 100% sure, sandy beaches… The Balearics are one of the favourite destination for English people for some of these reasons. However, today we will introduce you to a different Majorca, where the temperature is not as high and the little villages hide inside the mountains.

The Tramuntana Mountains are only half an hour drive away from Palma de Majorca, the capital of the island. There you can choose either to do some hiking or visit some charming towns. If your plan is to enjoy the nature just as it is, the best way is to look for a walk through the valley or up the mountain, whether you are an amateur or a professional, there are walks for everyone. If are planning to have a taste of the real Tramuntana style, you should visit Valdemossa, a wonderful little village where streets full of flowers and houses built in stone will delight your senses.

Further inside the mountains another picturesque little town is Deia, even smaller, it was the town of painters, just wander around the streets and be sure you get to the top of the mountain, where the graveyard has a fantastic view of the town and surroundings.

Another way of discovering the island of Majorca within a day!

Make a reservation with Hotelopia of your hotel in Majorca.

Here comes the summer, and here come music festivals. Today we will focus on Cornbury Festival, it will take place the first weekend of July (Saturday 3^rd and Sunday 4^th) It started as a traditional fayre in 1796 and you will find it in Cornbury Park, located on the edge of the Wychwood forest.

Summer makes you think of a warm place with a nice beach and blue water? If the answer is yes, Croatia is your destination. In the last few years it has started to be the favourite destination for Western Europeans, whoever it is still an unknown place with virgin beaches and islands to discover.

Croatia is also beginning to be the destination for restricted budgets, low-cost airlines fly to Split or Dubrovnik, two coastal cities where visitors can start their trip. It is mandatory to visit at least one of the islands (Brac, Hvar o Mljet).

From walking the streets in the OOOld City of Dubrovnik to doing any kind of adventure activity: diving, kayaking, sailing, rafting…Hiring a motorbike or a car is probably the best way to get around and if you visit Split you shouldn’t miss Diocletian’s Palace.

Winchester is a city in the south of England, worth visiting for its history, as it was once the capital of Wessex and the Kingdom of England.

Nowadays it is known for its cathedral, originally built in 1079 and with fine architecture of the 16th century, it is one of the biggest in England and the longest in Europe. The Cathedral is also famous because it was used for the scenes of The Da Vinci Code, a film based on the book by Dan Brown, a bestseller. Another curiosity we want to point out about it is the fact that Jane Austen, the famous writter, was burried in the north aisle of the cathedral. The inscription has no reference to her literary talents, as her novels were published anonymously.

If you happen to visit this quiet city, don’t forget to wander around the main street, where you will be able to see soem famous shops and nice restaurants and bars. From Hotelopia we highly recommend Brassery Blanc as the place to have dinner. A French restaurant, with very good service and even better food. The perfect end to a day of turism in Winchester. Book your hotel in Winchester in Hotelopia!
