njoy a feast of varied sights and stunning coastal and mountain scenery, as from your base in lively Letterkenny you visit County Antrim’s astonishing Giant’s Causeway, take in Donegal Town, the beautiful Glenveagh National Park and its castle, and spend a day on the remote, timeless Inishowen peninsula. One of the most popular towns in Ireland’s north, bustling Letterkenny offers shops, restaurants, bars and cafés, and is a perfect base for the tour. The highlight will be the visit to the breathtaking Causeway – a simply unforgettable sight. Though shrouded in the mists of mystery and legend, this astonishing collection of basalt columns, packed closely together, and acting as stepping-stones into the Atlantic from beneath the wild, windswept cliffs above, was in fact formed 60 million years ago by a volcanic explosion. Photo opportunities also abound at ruined Dunluce Castle in its cliff-top setting, and this popular break is completed with visits to lively Donegal Town, verdant Glenveagh with its rolling vistas, and unspoiled Inishowen, site of the poignant Doagh Island Famine Village.

Choose from a wide range of carefully selected hotels in
a trio of hand-picked, highly favoured locations, and enjoy a relaxed stay on the sun-blessed shores of this, Italy’s largest, most spectacular and most popular lake. With clear blue waters fringed by stylish, elegant, colourful resorts, flanked by groves of citrus trees or olives, or backed by the wooded slopes of craggy mountains, this is a perfect picture-postcard scene which has drawn visitors down the years.
An equable microclimate offers a Mediterranean-like feel to holidays spent on Garda’s beautiful shores, with warm days cooled by the famous breezes, and balmy evenings often under the stars. Throughout the day, the resorts bustle with life, with the shops and cafés, bars and restaurants all vying for business. By early evening, the streets are thronged with locals and vistors alike enjoying a passeggiata, or traditional stroll. Across the lake, the local ferries ply their trade between the resorts, and colourful sailboats and windsurfers hint at more energetic pursuits.
