May is a great month for holidays. The weather is warming up, winter is long gone and the high holiday season is still not here. May is a great opportunity to travel and enjoy busy holiday destinations at desconted fares. Discover now where to go in May.

Malta: the tiny archipelago starts to warm up by May, meaning days can be spent bronzing on sandy beaches in hidden coves, swimming in turquoise lagoons. Places to eat: maltese food is a delight, with strong Mediterranean influences which produce dishes such as pistachio cannoli or honey-glazed rabbit.

Dodecanese Islands, Greece: For a real taste of Greek life, the volcanic island of Nisyros is one of the places to go. Symi, half an hour from the Turkish coast, has places to eat with Michelin stars.

The Scottish Highlands are beautiful all year but in May they burst into life. The wildflowers and rhododendrons are brightfully blooming and the midges have not yet arrived to spoil the fun. Do not forget a must where to go in Scotland: a whisky distillery.

Algarve, Portugal. This is an obvious choice througout the year, even if you want a quite holiday. Look between the well know best hotels and there is a quieter, more peaceful side to this coast. Not to mention some of the most fantastic beaches in Europe.

Tuscany and Florence: Florence is great for a bank holiday weekend, warm enough to stroll in a sundress and devour gelato. The 5 star hotel Il Salviatino or The St. Regis Florence are good choices of where to stay.

Istanbul: the city is a glorious mish-mash of European and Asian culture – buzzing bazaars filled with keen-to-haggle hawkers selling trinkets sit next to contemporary art galleries.
