LONDON, April 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Monarch is pleased to offer some of the most incredible deals on last-minute holidays this spring, so read on for a run-down of some of the best offers available at this time of year.
Tenerife, from £175
Flight time from the UK: 4 ½ hours
Tenerife is the largest of the Canary Islands, and with temperatures breaking the 20°C mark all year round, it lives up to its nickname of 'the island of eternal spring'. With wonderful weather and beautiful golden beaches guaranteed, all you need to worry about is deciding which of the host of activities you're going to enjoy first! From white-knuckle water sports to tranquil treks in the island's lush interior, Tenerife offers a fantastic range of activities for the whole family. And with plenty of cheap holidays to Tenerife on offer, you'll be able to pick up a package holiday from as little as £175.
Cyprus, from £195
Flight time from the UK: 4 ½ hours
Famously child-friendly, like Greece and Turkey, Cyprus is a superb location for a low-cost family holiday. There have been a number of luxury developments in recent years, which you can combine with Cyprus package holidays for a more upmarket break away. Last-minute deals in spring and autumn make for exhilarating activity breaks, with the lower temperatures more conducive to marching around the mountain monasteries, or playing 18 holes on one of Cyprus' championship-standard golf courses. But sun-seekers will be pleased to hear that it's still warm enough to bask on the beach, with temperatures hovering around 20°C.
Egypt, from £342
Flight time from the UK: 4 ½ hours
Egypt offers great value for money, with late deals to Sharm El Sheikh starting from just £342. Ideal for romantic breaks away or fun for the whole family, it offers the twin attractions of awe-inspiring historical sites and breath-taking natural scenery. Some holidaymakers base their entire vacations on scuba diving and snorkelling, with the captivating coral reefs and wrecks of the Red Sea close at hand. Boasting incredible weather, you can expect temperatures to creep towards 30°C in April and May.
Barcelona & Costa Blanca, Spain, from £162
Flight time from the UK: 2 hours
If you're limited for holiday time and fancy a short break away, a two-hour flight could provide you with the perfect combination of beach break and city stay. Visit the beautiful city of Barcelona for the best of both worlds: stunning architectural delights, tempting restaurants and lavish parks and gardens - all with the beach on your doorstep for when you're done with the sight-seeing. Or head to the bustling town of Benidorm for blue flag beaches, vibrant bars and a superb mountainous backdrop - perfect for a fun-filled holiday with something for everyone. With holidays to the Costa Blanca starting from just £162, it's an affordable option for the whole family to enjoy.
