For a small island, Malta sure packs a punch. This burgeoning country is becoming more popular with younger crowds, drawn by its festivals and restaurant scene. Stay in a smart townhouse in baroque Valletta, or head to Gozo for remote resorts, stretches of sand and scuba diving. Whatever you choose to do, there’ll hardly be a cloud in the sky.

Windswept, salty and sunkissed. That’s what you’ll be after sailing from one Greek island to another.

Whether you go for the cultural riches of Rome or Venice, the peaceful pace of Lake Como or the sophisticated style of the Amalfi Coast, this beautiful and inspiring country offers an enormous slice of la dolce vita.

A holiday through Germany stirs the soul. In this fairytale land, grass is greener, beer is crisper, architecture is prettier.
