Travel TREATS

WINTER IS COMING: The phenomenon that is Game Of Thrones has passed me by, I have to admit. But many of those close to me are committed fans, so by osmosis if nothing else I’m very much aware of its power. So for all of you devotees, you need to get your hands on a GoT Journey of Doors passport, then visit the ten locations across the North where intricately carved doors (from trees blown down by Storm Gertrude) are erected near locations which will be familiar to GoT fans. Download the passport at discovernorthernireland.com

CRACKING CROATIA: The Adriatic Coast offers translucent waters and dramatic mountains, plus Dubrovnik and its nearby towns and islands. There’s a good deal on a seven-night package, in the five-star Hotel Croatia B&B and transfers included at €599pps… €200 cheaper than normal. platinumtravel.ie

BANK HOLIDAY BREAK: May Bank Holiday deals from Sunway are very keenly priced around €300. Seven nights B&B in the Esat Hotel in Kusadasi with flights and transfers start at €279 and seven nights self-catering in the Algarve start at €299. sunway.ie
