Great getaways: From two weeks in Greece to a short break in Ibiza
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

For £1,159pp, Travelbag has two week-long Indian Ocean options, both of which include Emirates flights from Gatwick via Dubai. Choose from the Maldives in September, with B&B at the Reethi Beach Resort and seaplane transfers; or opt for Mauritius from 1-15 July, staying all-inclusive at the Silver Beach. Book by 12 July for the Maldives (travelbag.co.uk).
Greek sun
On 20 July, Sunvil Holidays has a two-week deal in Greece for £649pp. The package is based at the self-catering Rodanthi Apartments in Sivota, facing out towards Corfu and the Ionian Sea. You'll be a short walk away from nearby beaches and the village's main harbour. The deal includes Germania flights from Gatwick to Preveza and transfers (sunvil.co.uk).
Isle seat
Can't face Ibiza for a full week? Book a short break to the White Isle instead. Between 1 and 27 September, DialAFlight has a four-night flit, based at the new Hard Rock Hotel in Playa d'en Bossa, for £549pp – leaving you just enough time to party and soak up the sun. Breakfast and BA flights from Heathrow included (dialaflight.com)
Canary call
For some late-season sunshine, consider the Canary Islands. On La Gomera, for example, Sovereign has a luxury week at the five-star Hotel Jardín Tecina, which features flood-lit tennis courts, several pools and a Jacuzzi, overlooking the island's dramatic Atlantic coast. Departing on 14 September, it costs £895pp with half-board, Thomson flights from Birmingham to Tenerife and ferry transfers (sovereign.com).
