Best Holiday Destinations, Where To Go On Holiday In June

If you are still wondering where to go on holiday in June then give serious consideration to Kusadasi, one of the best holiday destinations on the Turkish Aegean coast. Sat on a stunning bay the town has some great beaches and there is plenty going on. As a resort town as well as a stop for cruise ships it can get a bit busy at times, but you can easily take a dolmus (or minibus) to one of the quieter beaches away from the town. You could also head out to the Guvercin Ada, where you can find some more laid back beaches as well as the castle. You can book Izmir holidays with Thomson Holidays.

Perhaps the biggest attraction of going on holiday to Kusadasi though is around 20km north of the town. The fascinating ancient city of Ephesus is particularly famous as the location of the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, among other archaeological treasures. Easily accessible from Kusadasi, the ruins are also the venue of the International Izmir Festival between the 20th of June and the 21st of July 2011. This year will mark the 26th year of the annual festival and the programme for the festival will be announced today. Expect to see some great classical music, opera and theatre performed around both the Odeon (the ancient theatre) and the library of Celsus. This is a unique opportunity to experience the ancient city in a very different way. Other performances are held in Izmir itself and in the fortress of the nearby town of Cesme.

Izmir flights are operated by easyJet who fly twice a week from London Gatwick and Thomas Cook who fly from Belfast, Birmingham, Bristol, East Midlands, Glasgow, London (Gatwick and Stansted), Manchester and Newcastle.

Tenerife is a popular holiday destination year round due in no small part to the fantastic weather. You can expect average temperatures in the 20s during June making is a great place to go on holiday. If you are in Tenerife on the 24^th of June prepare for the biggest night of the year! Noche de San Juan is a traditional celebration of the summer solstice and for many locals is a bigger deal than New Years Eve. The festivities start with processions before progressing to bonfires and fireworks. Many people celebrate through the night and beach parties are held all over the island. At Puerto de la Cruz goats are traditionally driven into the sea to be bathed and the locals soon follow them for a midnight dip. The festival is a great time to experience the more local side of Tenerife, one of the best holiday destinations in Europe. You can find deals on holiday to Puerto de la Cruz with Thomson Holidays.

Ryanair  and Thomas Cook fly to Tenerife South from numerous regional airports, Thomas Cook also offer package holidays to the island.
