Short-haul escapes to bright sunshine

Want an exotic getaway without the hassle of a long-haul flight? Both Greece and Cyprus have the fabulous Amathus Hotels – a group of five-star hotels that offer swimming pools, water sports and a children’s club. Located in Limassol, Paphos and Rhodes, the hotels supply children’s slippers and robes and there are child-friendly menus in each hotel restaurant, often using local, organic food. Sovereign offers a week at the Amathus Beach Hotel Limassol from £2,599 for a family of four.
