A new year means new opportunities to discover destinations you've never visited before; or, equally, to return to tried and tested spots that fit the bill, like a pair of old jeans that fits just right. And there are few settings that combine being conveniently close while offering strong holiday appeal as the Mediterranean. |
|
|
Within this nearly-enclosed stretch of blue sea you'll find a huge breadth of destinations to explore, from the dazzling south of France to Greece's plethora of archipelagos; from holiday favourites Mallorca and Ibiza to pocket-sized island nations such as Cyprus. If 2024 is finally the year you want to go Greek island-hopping, check out our guide to the best routes. Or get inspired with our selections of the best Malta holidays to book for this year, plus Turkey's best winter sun spots if you're looking to escape the January blues.

| The Yorkshire-sized Adriatic nation of Montenegro will be better connected with the UK than ever this summer, with new routes from Birmingham, Bristol, Luton and Stansted to Tivat on the beautiful Bay of Kotor. |
