Gorgeous Greece

Last minute Greece holidays are all about history hunting and blissful beach days. Whether you’re looking for something more relaxed with spa days and cocktails at sunset or want to explore the ancient mysteries, Greece holidays offer something for everyone. 

For the picture perfect Greece beach holiday, the small town of Ixia awaits. Located on the tranquil Greek island of Rhodes, Ixia offers balmy beach days with golden sands and a variety of watersports. 

One of our top picks for the ultimate Ixia holiday is Sheraton Rhodes Resort. Here you get the best of relaxation bliss and adventure, with the resort having its very own private beach with luxury loungers, five swimming pools, and a host of sports courts and restaurants. Sheraton Rhodes Resort is also located only 4 kilometres from the historical town of Rhodes, providing the ideal holiday for those who want to history hunt while still having the beach on their doorstep.

Things to Consider for a Last Minute Holiday

Flexibility

One of the best things you can do before booking your last minute holiday is looking at your dates of travel. It’s always best to have flexible dates to ensure you make the most of your luxury holiday. 

Weather

Consider the weather at your destination of choice before booking your last minute holiday. If you’re looking for the perfect beach holiday, a year round summer destination is a fantastic choice. 

Holiday Type

It’s always a good idea to consider the type of holiday you’re looking for. Whether it’s family-friendly, romantic, or adventure, Sovereign offers something for everyone, with a touch of luxury. 

Travel Time

If you’re going on holiday for a week or less, consider the travel time to your destination. Short haul flights are ideal for last minute holidays, allowing you to enjoy more of what the destination has to offer.
