Winter is that dreary season for some, so if you cannot wait to catch some sun and enjoy a few rounds of golf, then Cyprus has much to offer. Three excellent golf courses and an amazing selection of five and four star hotels featured in the Planet Holidays brochure, will have you packing. There are special offers on selected holiday stays plus free car hire throughout the winter sun season (up to end of March 2006), so when booking ask any of the reservations team about these. Planet Holidays also have one of the most comprehensive flight programmes to the island, from 11 weekly regional charters to daily scheduled flights from Luton and Heathrow.

The island of Cyprus now offers a choice of three 18-hole par 71 or 72 golf courses. Choose from the 6060m Tsada Golf Club located 20-minutes drive from Paphos close to the village of Tsada; the 6120m Secret Valley Golf Course, close to the birthplace of Aphrodite, situated between Paphos and Pissouri and at 6665m, the third and largest course, the new Aphrodite Hills Golf Course located near Aphrodite�s Rock just outside Paphos and within easy driving distance from Pissouri.

Choose to stay at the popular five star Coral Beach Resort, a firm favourite for actress Jenny Agutter and her family. Jane�s father was a radio presenter on the armed forces radio when she was a little girl and she has plenty of fond memories playing on the sandy beaches of this resort. The hotel boasts its own scuba diving school, cruise boat for coastal trips to catch the spectacular sunsets, several outdoor and indoor pools, tennis and squash courts plus a myriad of activities from archery to pottery and a fantastic health spa! Prices for January start from �469 per person based on 2 adults sharing a twin on bed and breakfast, inclusive of flights and private taxi transfers.

Alternatively you will be spoilt for choice in Paphos itself, from the renowned Annabelle, to the elegant five star Elysium and trendy minimalist four star Almyra or the popular four star Alexander The Great Beach Hotel. Prices start from �425 per person staying at the latter four star hotel for end of January and beginning of February 2006, including midweek departures from Gatwick. Easter prices start from �665 per person. All prices include flights, transfers and private taxi transfers. Regional departures may carry a supplement.
