w MALTA: £392 PER PERSON Malta has diverse appeal thanks to its culture-rich cities, ancient structures and turquoise-framed beaches, and this Easter families have an extra reason to visit: the Nickelodeon Treasure Hunt. Taking place from April 13 to 18, the extravaganza will see TV characters pop up at events across the island. Highlights include a hunt for SpongeBob SquarePants at the National Aquarium (on the northeast coast), a free live show at Valletta’s open-air Pjazza Teatru Rjal theatre, an appearance from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles at the Is-Suq Tal-Belt food market, and a colourful carnival- style parade through the city’s Old Town to round things off.

Prices are from £392 per person based on a family of four sharing for a week with daily breakfast, transfers and flights from Manchester on April 16. tui.co.uk


w CROATIA: £318 PER PERSON Just as pleasing on the value- plus-charm front is Croatia, where national parks such as Plitvice Lakes meet historic cities, picturesque beaches and paradise-like islands – and Easter is an ideal time to visit, says Chris Rand, sales and marketing manager for Balkan Holidays. “This period offers slightly cooler temperatures, which some people might prefer,” he says. “There are lots of opportunities to eat out at low prices so it’s great for families seeking value for money.” While the likes of Split, Hvar and


Vis take much of the spotlight, there’s plenty more to explore. One of the most picturesque areas is Trogir, says the operator. This Unesco-listed walled town is on its own island (about 18 miles from Split) with Renaissance buildings, old-world cafes and maze-like streets bordering topaz waters, providing equal parts culture and relaxation for families wanting a peaceful, laid-back escape without the crowds. Book it: Balkan Holidays offers a week in a two-bedroom, self- catered apartment at Apartments Medena, close to Trogir, from £1,273. Price based on two adults and two under-10s sharing, with flights and transfers from Gatwick on April 20. balkanholidays.co.uk/agents
