Virgin Holidays- Rockstar Service

At Virgin Holidays, we believe amazing service should come as standard. That’s why Virgin Holiday’s magic touches are made available to all Virgin Holidays customers – not just the VIPs! We realise that you want to make the most of being on holiday, so we came up with Check in, Chill out, so you can check in for your flight without leaving the beach…or bar.  Airports are a drag.  The holiday only really starts when you get to your destination.  And if you’ve got kids, then airports are living nightmares.  So, to perk up the airport experience, we came up with the VRoom. And when you’re on holiday, you want to make sure it’s as good as it can be.  That’s where Virgin Holidays’ Concierge service comes in – a concierge actually tuned in to the buzz of your destination, not a guy in a suit on kick backs from rip-off restaurants. This belief is what sets Virgin Holidays apart from the competition. That’s why we actually encourage our customers to ‘Ask For the World’.

But how do you express that exclusive treatment in a single thought.  What do Virgin Holidays offer that no-one else does?  We think it can be described as…

“ROCKSTAR SERVICE”

It’s a level of care you’d normally associate with the glamour and excitement of the entertainment elite.  Made available to every Virgin Holidays customer.

With Virgin Holidays, you can rest assured that you’ll get intuitive, imaginative typically brilliant twinkle-in-the-eye Virgin service, every single time you travel with us.

Christmas in the UK

Christmas in the UK

If you are planning to spend your next Christmas abroad, you hand many different destinations to consider. Often holiday travel involves traveling with family, which means you need the right atmosphere, and the right accessibility for everything to go smoothly. Traveling with your family means there are many people to please, and they will all want something different. Choosing a destination like the UK enables you to skip past the stress and anxiety that goes along with traveling in a country with a language you don’t know. The UK is European enough to give you the cozy atmosphere, and familiar enough to skip the cultural barriers that other countries may present.

The UK also spans across plenty of countryside and farmland, which is great for renting a cozy cottage and having the perfect, home away from home atmosphere you will crave around the holidays. Perfect if you want to escape from the the big city life to relax. There are also plenty of busy terminals to choose from, such as flights to London or flights to Belfast. And much like these international airports, the rest of the UK has frequent flight schedules to accommodate to your vacation dates, with easy train and road access to the city centre.

Off the Beaten Track: Meteora, Greece

Off the Beaten Track: Meteora, Greece

Greece is the home of Mt. Olympus and its resident gods as well as famous philosophers and other intellectuals who have helped shape much of modern thinking. Most tourists exploring Greece normally go to the usual landmarks, like the temples, amphitheaters, and other ancient monuments in Athens. However, Greece has so much more to offer than the sites in the ancient city of Athens as the country has had quite a long, rich history.

The monasteries of Meteora are a breathtaking group of structures that are perched on top of Meteora’s rock pinnacles. These monasteries were built in the 10th to the 16th centuries. In the 10th century, several ascetics and hermits ascended Meteora’s rock peaks to seek solitude. A small church was built at the foot of one of the rock towers in the 12th century, and by the 14th century, several monasteries were built on the peaks. During this period, the monasteries served as places of refuge from invading Turks who ravaged the area. At the end of the 15th century, a total of 24 monasteries were built. These monasteries thrived in the 15th and 16th centuries but experienced a decline by the 17th century when the monks’ population diminished to a third of its original size.

At present, only 6 of the original 24 monasteries remain. These majestic monasteries never fail to puzzle and amaze visitors since they were built on top of peaks that are seemingly impossible to access. On top of this, they were built in an age when there was no machinery that could haul building materials up to the peaks of the pinnacles.
