Multiple caves play host to tourist attractions – but you can find gorgeous stalagmites elsewhere, if you know where to look.

Where to find the best restaurants in Majorca

Whether you’ve hopped to this Balearic beauty for a well-earned lounge by the pool, or a gallop through the island’s gourmet offerings, these interesting facts might just tempt you to stray from your plans.

Tenerife

Bohemian to its core and a mecca for both beer lovers and architecture geeks, Prague is steeped in history, yet remains an incredibly modern city. There’s everything from ancient castles to chic bars within the city limits, as well as all the amenities you’d expect from a thriving metropolitan centre. Getting from A to B in the city is a breeze, as it has one of the expansive and reliable public transport networks in Europe, even with the historic centre of the city being a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Majorca

If you find yourself questioning whether a holiday to Majorca is for you, you may have got the wrong impression of this Balearic beauty. Yes, she’s hosted more than a few raucous nights over the years. But the reality is that’s a very small part of Majorca’s unique blend of nightlife. While some are in the throws of an all night EDM marathon, others are sipping cocktails in a baroque mansion surrounded by antiques. Yet more are taking in a sunset few instafilters could rival – no doubt perusing a menu littered with options so tasty they are already planning to pop back to-morrow to try the lobster. Then there’s the adventurous group still pedalling home from the Cap de Formentor, wondering if their thighs will ever recover.

The secrets of Corfu’s beaches and bays 

If you’re into sweeping shores, golden sands, and azure seas that look like the belong on a postcard, then Corfu is undoubtedly the place for you. The Greek island has an absurd amount of pristine coastline to lounge on, and every kind of beach experience can be had here satisfying lazy readers and wave hoppers alike.

Three courses, one island: Breakfast, lunch and dinner in Corfu 

Given everything else it has going on, it seems a little unfair that Corfu is also home to an excellent stable of cafes, bars and restaurants. It’s not just the quality of the food that’s great on the island: most places deliver fantastic service alongside stunning views to boot. Although there’s obviously an abundance of great Greek places on the island, the international cuisine is also of a really high quality, especially when the food is from other European countries. Basically, if you’re a lover of a good meal and good times, you’re going to enjoy your Corfu eating experience.
