Brilliant Holidays Post Lockdown

Posted on 31st March 2021

Socially distanced holidays post lockdown


When we finally move out of lockdown and get the opportunity to take a holiday on foreign shores there is going to be a surge in demand for trips of all kinds.  The opportunity to return to an old favourite, experience a new country or try a new holiday type is going to be irresistible.  

No one knows when the pandemic will end and for many, a socially distanced holiday may be more appealing than a busy beach holiday in a packed resort.
 
Here are a selection of our holidays that can be enjoyed away from the crowds
 

Gulet Cruise Holidays

Kalkan Villa Holidays

Greek Island Cruise Holidays

Gulets are traditional Turkish yachts beautifully crafted from wood and typically having between 3 to 10 cabins.  They are a fabulous way to explore the beautiful Turkish coastline or Greek Islands and are enjoyed in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.  For the ultimate experience you can hire an entire gulet for your very own private cruise and it is much cheaper than you think!  Take a look at our Gulet Cruise Holidays
If you would like to find out more check out this post for what the day to day experience of a gulet cruise is like.

How much more private can you get! Your own villa in this fabulous Turkish resort is an idyllic socially distanced luxury holiday with fabulous accommodation and your own private pool.  Villa holidays are great for spending quality time with your family or friends and Kalkan is an unspoilt haven of beauty with some great beaches if you venture away from your villa.

One of our favourites, a small ship cruise taking in beautiful Greek Islands where the service and food are out of this world. Typically with under 50 guests on board there is plenty of open space on deck to enjoy the sights and sounds as you visit incredible islands such as Santorini, the stunning Mykonos and picturesque Naxos and Paros.



Holidays abroad are currently banned and are unlikely to be allowed until either May or June at the earliest. Keep up to date with the latest advice for travel abroad at the government website for travel abroad - https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice

Our flight was delayed and I received contact from Oguzhan and Rica telling me that they had arrange later pick up from the airport when arriving in Turkey. Mustafa our driver was warm and friendly throughout our stay .The transfer and 3 day tours were fantastic , Our guide was really knowledgeable and looked after us while we toured this remarkable place The highlight was the Balloon ride in the morning a truly magical experience . I can not fault any part of the holiday and the service of Diamond Travel Experience . Easy to contact through what’s app anytime which was a great touch . I would strongly recommend Diamond star Experience for booking a holiday , We will def book again with them when returning to Turkey. Thanks and well done ! A truly wonderful Break" Mrs Wilson  - 21 Aug 2025

"A week's trip on Perla del Mar captained by Mustafa, with chef Dohan, and crew Cem, Emre and Meric turned out to be the best family holiday we had ever booked. Akin's recommendation of the boat was spot on. Dohan's menu and cooking was absolutely excellent. The crew went out of their way to assist us at every opportunity and their care and attention to the children on the trip was exemplary. There wasn't a single fault that on the whole trip, the transfers worked perfectly, the crew were there to greet us at Marmaris and led us through the alleys to the waterside where the amazing boat in front of us was to be ours for a week. We were all taken aback and realised that Mum's mad dream was coming to fruition. A holiday found by google, sold to us by Akin who took the trouble to explain everything turned out to be beyond the dreams of all of us. Canoeing in quiet coves, swimming and snorkelling to our hearts content then served with drinks and snacks before amazing meals and enjoying the trips between coves became the order of each day. I can firmly recommend this holiday to anyone. It was simply amazing." Christine - 25 May 2025

" We went to Diamond Star experience because they offer multi-centre holidays and had good ratings. We were in no way disappointed with what was organised. We said that we wanted a few days in Athens and then a week on a relatively quiet island. Akin made a proposal (Athens then Naxos) and then, when we agreed, organised everything. The Athens hotel was central and accessible to the main sites and to restaurants, and was of very good quality. The choice of Naxos for the island was equally good and we stayed in an excellent three star hotel on the edge of the town within easy reach of the beach and restaurants. All transfers were efficiently organised and even when there was a transport hiccup (our fault!) there was a phone call from the Athens back-up team within the hour to find out what had happened.
Thank you very much, Akin and staff, for a really enjoyable holiday and for service which can be easily be recommended.
