Escaping from the gloom of winter and heading for brighter destinations doesn't have to cost the earth. With some forward planning it's easy to take a cheap break away.

Saving money and still enjoying life is all important in the ever present economic crisis. While dreaming of escaping from the cold winter climates to a warmer destination, without having to spend a lot of money, is at the top of most people’s lists of things to do at the moment.

Use the Internet for Planning

Planning a sunshine break can turn out to be as much fun as actually taking one as there are many excellent and reputable websites offering bargain flights and cheap accommodation. Internet booking has become an increasingly popular way of organising a cost effective break from routine. The flight company Easy Jet has a well designed and easy to understand web page that makes checking out flight times and availability fun. Their straightforward on-line reservation system makes for trouble-free planning for even the most novice of independent travellers.

Make the Most of Easy Jet’s Bargain Flights

Easy Jets amazingly economical flight prices make getting away from winter an affordable option on even the strictest of budgets. If you are flexible with departure dates and destinations then it’s simple to make the most of the cheapest flights on offer and make travelling an adventure again.

Choosing the Best Winter Sunshine Holiday Destination

Gran Canaria is one of the latest additions to Easy Jets many European flight destinations. If warmth and sunshine is a priority then the Canary Islands are one of the best places for good weather during even the coldest of the winter months. The second largest of the islands, Gran Canaria, is reputed for its balmy winter climate and with above average temperatures that don’t usually drop below twenty degrees that guarantee a good few hours of enjoyable sunshine every day.

Spingtime In the Saronic Islands

The Saronic Islands are a small group of islands that nestle close to the coast of the Greek mainland. For combining some restful days on uncrowded beaches with cultural visits to museums and ruins they are ideally situated and are a perfect place to choose for a springtime break.

Which Island to Choose

Aegina, Poros, Hydra and Spetse are the four main islands that make up the Saronic chain. Each has its own distinct characteristics, but for ease of travelling Aegina is possibly the best if you are not accustomed to travelling independently. With Easy Jets regular daily flights to Athens International airport and the frequent ferry and hydrafoil services that sail out of Pireaus, Aegina is the most accessible but will still make independent travelling fun.
