Why not holiday in the Canary Islands this summer?

The great natural attractions, sunny climate and large sandy beaches make the Canary Islands a popular tourist attraction, along with their proximity to the UK. Each year approximately 12 million people descend upon the islands for their holidays, primarily from the UK, Germany and mainland Spain. Tenerife is the most popular destination closely followed by Gran Canaria and Lanzarote.

Flight time from London to Tenerife is around four and a half hours, and the time difference is just one hour ahead of GMT. In the peak season especially there are many regular flights from most major UK airports to each of the most popular Canary Islands, and the tour operators have many deals for package holidays to resorts on the islands.

Thomas Cook and First Choice have a great selection of holidays to the Canary Islands suitable for all requirements, but it is also worth taking a look at a price comparison website to see if you can get a better deal, especially if you know which resort you want to stay at and you can be flexible with your dates of travel.
