Morocco
Looking for an adventure-filled long weekend getaway? Consider this itinerary that offers a unique opportunity to explore two different sides of Morocco. Despite the short distances, we recommend changing your accommodation to maximize your time in both destinations.
In Marrakech, you’ll have two full days to explore the city’s main sights and soak up its vibrant atmosphere. Then, head to the Atlas Mountains for a completely different flavor of Morocco. Here, you can take in stunning views, stroll through charming villages and farms, or embark on a more serious trek. With our private drivers providing door-to-door service, you’ll enjoy a hassle-free journey and a comfortable experience.
This itinerary allows you to discover the best of both worlds in just four nights, making it the perfect long weekend getaway. So, why not add a bit of adventure to your travels and book this exciting trip today?

Turkey
Less than a 4 hour flight from the UK, Istanbul is a wonderful city for a long weekend getaway, most people tend to head to Sultanahmet where the major sites are located, but if you prefer to stay slightly outside, we highly recommend a stay in fashionable Beyoğlu, at the iconic Pera Palace Hotel…
One of the most famed hotels in the city, Pera Palace attracted famous guests such as Greta Garbot, Ernest Hemingway and Agatha Christie, who wrote Murder on the Orient Express whilst staying there. Traditional, yet sumptuous, with first-class service and in a perfect location for sight-seeing, a long weekend here will stay with you for a long time!
