Just 30 miles wide, Menorca might be Mallorca’s little brother, but it shouldn’t be ignored until there’s no one else to play Xbox with. It’s a small island of concentrated fun, with a wealth of beaches, so much nature that Unesco got involved, and oodles of rustic charm. Most locals don’t speak English. It’s fantastic. Climb up one of its many peaks for a soul-nourishing vista of mottled greens and browns of fields, farms and fincas. Or, make a beeline...

Whether you are looking for beach-side dining, spectacular views or traditional Greek tavernas, Mykonos has it all when it comes to fine dining spots. For an island that celebrates diversity, it is not surprising that there is a plethora of restaurants on offer that are either buried within the cosy whitewashed alleys in town or sprawled across the many miles of cost line. Fish is in abundance, mezze is widely served and local Greek wine punches with the quality of many...

Although it’s always nice to shop local, I have to admit that the Spar stores here are amazing, with endless charcuterie choices. I found the general rule to be that the gnarlier looking the salami, the tastier, if that helps. Some...

LGBT tourists splash out an estimated £160bn annually on foreign holidays, but many choose to steer well clear of countries where homosexuality is still criminalised.

The best thing about living in London is that all the great European cities are just a hop skip and a jump away. Even closer than Europe is the famous cities that span the entirety of the UK. My partner and I are on a mission to get to know Britain better and embarked on a weekend trip to Oxford in March. Oxford, around an hour out of London, is home to some of the world's leading universities and exceptional...

Who says that an escape to the beach is the only holiday where you can truly relax and unwind by the water? Or that you have to leave Britain to experience a completely unique family break? In our constant quest to find holiday destinations which allow us to completely de-stress and recharge our batteries, we rarely look to our own backyard for inspiration. Which is why there has never been a better opportunity to visit a CLC World Travel Centre...

The night drive from Bastia to Murato is not for the faint-hearted.  It is an ear-popping, nerve-shredding pinball ride through the madly winding hilltop lanes of northern Corsica, where the white line in the middle of the road appears to serve purely for decorative purposes.  At one heart-stopping point a young wild boar leaps out of the gorse and into our path to stare us down.  His body language says: "It's a hire car, pally.  Even if you drive into...
