Self-catering holidays - as easy as EMA

The food offered at the hotel can be spectacular but if you like to have a little more control over your menu then Self-Catered holidays are a brilliant option. Whether you want to fill your evening visiting local restaurants and sampling cooking from around the world or you have a dietary condition making it difficult to just eat whatever the hotel is serving, this is the perfect way to tailor your holiday to you.

Self-Catered holidays are ideal for adventurous tourists who’re hoping to sample lots of local food. If you’re a couple, this is a great option as it turns every night into a unique date, but be careful as it can be easy to rack up a lot of cost as you indulge in local delicacies. If you are planning to go for a Self-Catered package make sure that you research where your closest food shop is and how you’ll be able to get to it as well as any restaurants you might want to visit.
