Winter wonderland
For many, the nation has not so much joined Europe, as it has returned after many years of absence. For tourists, both Polish and foreign, the accession also means changes. Not only can we travel freely within the EU, but the much anticipated no-frills airline operators have finally made the Polish skies their home.
Our central location on the continent means that nearly all major European cities are a mere two or three hours away by plane. With the added bonus of cheap flights there is really no limit to where and what we will choose to do on our holidays.
This edition of the Special Interest Supplement looks at the options a little closer to home. There are undiscovered and unspoiled treasures awaiting in Lithuania, which is only beginning to emerge as a tourist destination with an edge. We also look at the skiing on offer, not only in Austria, Switzerland and Finland but also locally, in Poland, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. Finally, for those in need of sun and exotic locations, we look at cruise liners-which offer a lot more than just a holiday in the sun.
