Travel experts presented the “Travel Calendar for 2025”.
The overall impression of visiting a particular place largely depends on how well the time is chosen for the trip there – this can affect the cost of rest, overcrowding of the location and the quality of excursions, which can be disrupted by heavy rains or snowfalls.
Meanwhile, travel experts from eShores presented their “Travel Calendar 2025”, in which they selected the best travel destinations for each month of this year.
“The carefully selected annual calendar covers the period from winter sun in Valletta to autumn exploration in the hidden Zagori region of Greece, showcasing alternative destinations for experienced travelers who want to avoid the crowds and secure a better holiday experience. The release of this travel calendar comes at a crucial time, as more than half of UK travelers now book a vacation 3-6 months in advance, and some even plan a full-year trip in January, ” the authors of the Crave Magazine study cite. In turn, eShores founder Gavin Lapidus says that January offers the best window of the year for vacation planning.
“We are seeing a significant shift towards early booking, with travelers booking the best prices and first-class accommodation before the peak demand season pushes up prices,” he says.
