Summer sun for singles

Singles specialist, Friendship Travel, kicks off its summer programme of holidays for solo travellers with offerings in May including Turkey, Cyprus and Greece.

For singles on a budget, a week from 27 May at the Forever Hotel in Ovacik – a small and friendly little property set in pretty gardens on the edge of the village – costs just £445 including return Gatwick flights, transfers, accommodation with breakfast, plus three dinners.

Still in Turkey, but for those who fancy a spot of five-star luxury, seven nights at the 4Reasons Hotel on the Bodrum peninsula costs £895 for 27 May departures.   Every stylish room is different in this little boutique-style hotel and facilities include outdoor pool, mini spa, plus bar and bistro.  The above price includes return Gatwick flights, transfers and mainly half-board accommodation with wine at dinner.

In Greece, visitors can celebrate Greek Easter in the first week of May – with the owner and his family – at the three-star Caesar’s Gardens in Lindos on Rhodes. The price of £645 per person for 1 May departures includes return Gatwick flights, transfers and seven nights’ mainly half-board accommodation with wine at dinner.   Easter celebrations include a traditional meal of spit-roasted lamb and Greek dancing.

Finally in Cyprus, a week from 26 May at the family-run three-star Tasmaria Hotel in Paphos – an apart-hotel close to the beach - costs £750 per person inclusive of return Gatwick flights, transfers, accommodation with breakfast and four evening meals.
