TWO travel experts have revealed the top destination to travel to this year if you want a bit of everything when it comes to beaches and food.
TUI‘s travel experts Debbie and Julie have booked holidays for more than a whopping 20,000 Brits over the years.
Having spent 25 years at TUI, they know their stuff when it comes to the best places to go.
And they both named Cyprus as a 2026 holiday destination for a number of reasons.
Debbie explained: “Cyprus is a holiday hotspot everyone needs to get on their 2026 holiday bucket list.
“It’s got everything you need, from sunshine, stunning scenery, history and the friendliest locals you’ll ever meet.
“And with year-round good weather, it’s perfect for a winter or summer holiday.”
The island country of Cyprus welcomed around three million tourists last year.
Julie agreed, adding that the beaches are some of the “cleanest in Europe“.
Naming some of her favourites, she said: “If you’re all about the party life you can live it up at Nissi Beach.

“If you’re looking to take it slower, you could visit Fig Tree Bay which is great for families.
“But if you want something wild and unspoiled, Lara Beach is magical, you might even spot turtles nesting.”
It’s not just beaches either – Debbie said there are loads of experiences to enjoy across the island as well.
Debbie explained: “You can spend the morning exploring ancient ruins in Paphos, then hike through Avakas Gorge in the Akamas Peninsula, a dramatic limestone canyon that feels like a hidden world.
“Then you can finish the day taking in beautiful views while enjoying Cypriot wine tasting and chatting to the locals.”
They even shared their top tips when it comes to food, praising the island known for its halloumi and mezze.
She added: ” If you want something truly authentic, Pyxida Fish Tavern is a gem.
“Based in in Nicosia and Limassol, they serve seafood caught that day, and the views are unbeatable. “
And Julie finished by saying: “Cyprus has stood the test of time because it offers everything from history, adventure, relaxation, and that famous Cypriot hospitality.
“Families love it, couples adore it, and foodies will be in heaven.”
TUI currently has seven-night holidays to Cyprus from £461pp, including return flights, luggage and transfers.
