Surrounded by water, with lovely views across the bay and mountains, you could almost imagine you were on a cruise ship, if it weren’t for all the walking up and down and around the resort!  Read what else she has to say about this beautiful area.Herceg Novi is a charming coastal town with a historic old town, pretty squares, fortresses and a relaxed Mediterranean fee...

From the moment we arrived, the combination of spectacular scenery, fascinating history and wonderful food made it a destination that really stayed with us.A big part of the enjoyment was knowing everything had been so expertly arranged by Janaway Travel. They did an excellent job organising the trip, from our flights and accommodation to the experiences and excursions, making the whole holiday...

My arrival was quite something -just 15 minutes from stepping off the plane to clearing passport control! Wow! I had expected at least an hour.And then you arrive in Palm Beach…The Vineta sits on the corner of what is often referred to as “Billionaires’ Row”, an area known for its i...

I love the anticipation of choosing somewhere new, the excitement of arriving and- perhaps most of all - putting together the perfect itinerary. I’ve been lucky enough to visit some wonderful cities around the world but for me, Europe is hard to beat. Within just a few hours, you can find yourself somewhere completely different, with its own food, architecture, history and personality.There are so many cities I could choose from but these five are among my favourites.Madri...

No need to wait for the perfect moment. Just pick a destination, book the ticket and see where the journey takes you. That’s exactly what I did on a recent Spanish adventure - and what a journey it turned out to be.It started with a flight from London Stansted to Girona and from there I headed to Palafrugell, where I spent two days exploring this beautiful corner of Catalonia.The highlight was undoubtedly the Cap Roig Festiva...

From the first day, we loved the atmosphere around the hotel. The pool area had such a good vibe during the ...

We wanted adventure, fresh air and experiences we would all remember - but we also wanted time to slow down, switch off and enjoy being together as a family.Lake Bled turned out to be exactly what we were looking for.The journey there couldn’t have been easier. Just 30 minutes from Ljubljana A...

The north is greener, more traditional and full of character, with beautiful scenery, historic towns and a wonderfully relaxed way of life.For me, Puerto de la Cruz is the perfect place to stay. It has all the facilities you could want, yet still feels authentically Canarian. Spend time wandering through the cobbled streets of the old town, browse the independent ...

It marked the beginning of a relationship with Portugal that would continue for decades and become one of the company's... Tue, 30 Jun 2026 14:25:10 +0100 http://www.janawaytravel.com/blog/#post26708
