Top 5 things to see and do during a last-minute escape
1. Red Beach
Santorini's Red Beach is a must-visit location when you book last-minute escapes to this famed Greek Island. It gets its name from the impressive wall of red cliffs serving as its backdrop. This is a hotspot for swimming and sunbathing in the summer and can be accessed via a path or by boat.
2. Akrotíri
Not far from Red Beach, you will find the enigmatic archaeological site of Akrotíri. It was once a thriving settlement of the ancient Minoan civilization and was destroyed around 1600 BCE by the same eruption that created Santorini's iconic caldera. This had the effect of preserving the site, like Italy's Pompeii.
3. Benirrás Beach
A visit to Benirrás Beach is in order when you find yourself enjoying a last-minute escape on the Spanish island of Ibiza. It is covered in both sand and shingle, and it is famed for its crystal-clear waters. This is one of the most popular spots in this Mediterranean destination to enjoy watching the sunset.
4. The C’an Marça Caves
The C’an Marça Caves are another noteworthy point of interest to explore during a last-minute escape to Ibiza. Take the official tour to learn about the otherworldly geological formations found in this subterranean labyrinth.
5. Falmouth
Falmouth is one of the most popular coastal towns in Cornwall. It is known for its impressive natural harbour, its excellent viewpoints and standout attractions, including the National Maritime Museum Cornwall and the Falmouth Seafront Promenade.
Our practical tips for last-minute escapes
What to pack for a last-minute escape?
Consider where you are going and what you will be doing when packing for last-minute escapes. With that said, some items you should bring along when going on a holiday include comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing, quality walking shoes/hiking boots, and evening attire for going out. Be sure to pack your phone chargers, plug adapters, guidebooks and travel documents. If you have space, bring along beach towels, extra toiletries, sun cream, sunglasses and sun hats, though you can pick these up locally.
What budget to plan for a last-minute escape?
An appropriate budget for a last-minute escape will depend on where you go and what you plan to do. You can expect to spend a minimum of £100 per person per day. However, this budget can be significantly more, depending on the number of activities and attractions you experience. Bringing more money than you think you will need is also a good choice, especially since it is common to encounter unexpected costs when booking last-minute travel on short notice.
Useful information before leaving for a last-minute escape
Our suggestions for last-minute escapes include carefully considering the weather and temperature conditions of the destination you are heading. This will help ensure your last-minute escape lives up to your expectations. We also recommend off-peak travel to save additional money and avoid crowds.
