24 Cheshire Independent Issue 48Independent TRAVELTravelling without childrenAUTUMN SUNSHINEThe island of Cyprus has good weather wellinto November and with some superbhotels,especially in the Paphos area wherethere is plenty to see and do.There are some lovely beaches and severalancient ruins – the Byzantine Castle ofPaphos, the Tombs of the Kings, St Paul’sPillar and the Temple of Aphrodite, togetherwith a lovely promenade – ideal for anevening stroll to one of the many restaurantsand bars. Trips into the interior to explorethe Troodos Mountains and the capitalNicosia will also appeal to those looking formore than just a beach holiday.Marrakech is another destination thatwill remain warm and sunny throughoutautumn. A four hour direct flight from Manchester,we recommend staying in one of thecharming Riad Hotels – often convertedmerchants houses, and generally with avery unassuming exterior leading into abeautiful quiet courtyard with a pool orfountain. Excursions include visits to thelocal souks and markets, the beautiful YvesSt Laurent gardens and longer trips intothe Atlas Mountains.Closer to home, and if the weather is notquite so important, there is often nothingnicer than staying in a cosy cottage completewith log fires and we have recommendationsin various parts of the UK, including luxuryAs the summer (what summer?) draws to a close and thechildren are now back at school, the opportunity for thosetravelling without children comes to the fore!CYPRUSstays, dog friendly properties and cottagesfor larger groups.SPECIALIST HOLIDAYSAutumn and Spring are the time when manycompanies offer themed breaks for which thesummer is either too hot or too busy!Painting holidays, walking and cyclingbreaks, cookery and cultural trips are all popularbut they do fill up quickly, so earlybooking is a must.From the Lemon Festival in Menton,archaeology in Sicily, opera at La Scala andthe Art Galleries of New York, we can findsomething for everyone.A TRIP OF A LIFETIMEOur autumn and winter are of course, springand summer in the Southern Hemisphere,so now is the time to start planning thatlong dreamed of holiday, perhaps to Australiaand New Zealand, South Africa orLatin America.And whilst these destinations are such along way away, so that a repeat trip is oftenout of the question, it is still easy to do toomuch, too quickly.
