So you could go for a city break.

Naples is the home of pizza, where pizza was invented.

But most people tend to go there as the gateway to the Amalfi Coast because you've Sorrento, Positano, Amalfi, Ravello, all these stunning resorts along the Amalfi Coast you can visit kind of around an hour away.

from the airport.

You can also hop on a ferry and go over to Capri.

You've got Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius.

You know, lots and lots to do.

I'd say if you are going to kind of either pick your city break or else go all out and go for 10 days or longer because there's so much to see there.

Another thing I think people sometimes don't realise is there's fantastic high-speed trains in Italy.

So it's like you could be in Rome in 80 minutes and it's only 10 euros.

So great value if you want to kind of get around.

And really,

you know, something I haven't really mentioned is some of these airfares, particularly in May, obviously prices go up in the peak season, but like 53 euros return in May to Naples from Shannon, 52 euros to Madeira return in May, 69 to Malta, like the actual prices for people going, you know, off-season is really, really good as well.

And there's lots of, you know,

different places it's still kind of sun destinations and but lots of things that maybe I suppose that's what I'm trying to bring across today that people may not think of.

Well very briefly one last one when people think of Portugal they think maybe of the Algarve or if they're going to go for a city break they go to Lisbon but what about Porto as a different location?

Yes, this is a great option.

And they actually fly three times a week until the 21st of October.

Portugal's second largest city.

It's only two hours, 15 minutes away.
