Want to take the plunge post-lockdowns and get away but not keen on the idea of a long-haul flight? We’ve got you covered. Here’s a list of suggested holiday destinations all with a relatively short flight time.
Cyprus
If you’re after pristine beaches and sparking waters as far as the eye can see, Cyprus could be a bit of you. Relaxing and winding down is made easy here, with a evident chilled out vibe among locals and visiting tourists alike.
When you fancy something a bit more stimulating, take a hike around some of the most idyllic nature trails, national parks and majestic waterfalls in Europe. Then refuel with some delicious local cuisine.

Santorini
No doubt you’ve seen plenty of photos of white-washed buildings with bright blue detailing, highlighting the cloudless sky and crystal-clear waters. But did you know all this could be right in front of you in less than a 4-hour flight?
