Before you decide on a destination \u2013 or the dates \u2013 of your holiday, it\u2019s good to ask yourself what you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This may seem obvious but delve a little deeper and you might find your priorities have changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answering these five questions can give you a better idea of not only what you want from a holiday, but how to achieve it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Have you missed being at the center of the action?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Have the last several months been all work and no play? Have you missed spending time with friends, going to shows, concerts and museums?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps this is the weekend to head to a cultural center like Istanbul<\/a>, London<\/a> or Paris<\/a> with a friend or several friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These cities also offer numerous seasonal events \u2013 including festivals for music, food and art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose your city and check out what\u2019s happening: set your dates to coincide with a specific event or a show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Are you yearning for a holiday where you don\u2019t have to be in charge?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even if you don\u2019t live in an urban environment, the stress of everyday life can leave you longing for peace, quiet and calm \u2013 and no pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe your intuition is quietly guiding you to an oasis surrounded by beautiful scenery. An oasis where you won\u2019t look at the clock; where the only item on your schedule is a massage treatment or a yoga session. Where the only place you need to be is the heated pool. Spa hotels are the perfect answer, and many of the world\u2019s plushest can be found in T\u00fcrkiye<\/a>, Sri Lanka<\/a>, Costa Rica, Tanzania<\/a>, Thailand<\/a> and Indonesia<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Are you craving a holiday with new experiences?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If the last several months have felt like the same day \u2013 over and over and over \u2013 you may be ready to leap into the unknown and recapture the excitement you\u2019ve missed. Take a bold step: A hot-air balloon tour in Cappadocia<\/a>, paragliding in Fethiye<\/a>, or diving in Bodrum or Kas<\/a>… Try something new!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Are you longing to go back in time?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"A

Perhaps you\u2019re seeking some perspective on our current times by examining the past. Or maybe you just want to immerse yourself in a completely different environment and atmosphere. Bruges, founded in the 9th century or Tallinn<\/a>, established in the 13th century, might be among your European choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

North Africa has a deep history; you may want to start with the legendary city of Marrakech<\/a>, or Rabat, founded in the 12th century. As you wander the narrow streets of these magical cities, stick to the concept, put your phone aside and just enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Are you hankering to be surrounded by art?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Woman

The destination is Italy! In a country where nearly every town bears the footprints of the Renaissance, Florence is a focus for art lovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re seeking classical music, turn your route to Austria; the cities of Salzburg<\/a> and Vienna<\/a> are renowned for classical music festivals, as well as beauty and architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Do you travel on your stomach?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not literally, of course! But if your ideal holiday involves a gastronomic approach, the choices are rather obvious: France<\/a>, Italy<\/a> or Lebanon<\/a>\u2026 If you have more time, the culinary traditions of Thailand<\/a>, India<\/a> and China<\/a> are famous for good reason. And they\u2019re not monolithic: Each region has its own specialties, so every meal \u2013 every day \u2013 will be distinctive!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you come to a decision? Now, all you need to do is find the best flight to your dream destination, for a holiday that will satisfy on every level.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start your search<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Stories knock at your door!<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

You can easily download images, and share on your social media accounts via your smartphone. Just press and hold the story, and save or share the image you have selected via the menu that appears.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
